China's broadcasting regulator made an announcement on pulling BBC World News off the air in the country for serious content breach.The National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) said BBC World News was found to have seriously violated regulations on radio and television management and on overseas satellite television channel management in its China-related reports, which went against the requirements that news reporting must be true and impartial, and undermined China's national interests and ethnic solidarity, as xinhuanet informs.
"As the channel fails to meet the requirements to broadcast in China as an overseas channel, BBC World News is not allowed to continue its service within Chinese territory", - the NRTA said in a statement.
Let us note that the NRTA will not accept the channel's broadcast application for the new year.
