Mirror TV pledges to avoid prime-time political talk shows By Shelley Shan / Staff reporter The management of Mirror TV yesterday told the National Communications Commission (NCC) that it would not host any political talk shows during prime-time viewing hours once the channel is established, adding that it would retain a full-time ombudsman to monitor news quality. The commission yesterday began reviewing an application filed in December 2019 by Mirror Media, which also owns a Chinese-language weekly magazine, to establish a TV news channel. It ruled that it would resume deliberations after the channel provides additional information requested by commissioners.
