No new foreign TV channels allowed – Xinhua

From Xinhua:

China would forbid any new foreign-owned TV channels from entering the country, domestic media reported.

China “will not again allow a foreign satellite TV station to have landing rights in the country,” Xinhua said, citing new rules from domestic regulators.

Regulators said the new rules were designed to strengthen oversight of the industry while the government “finds ways to regulate (existing foreign media in the market) to prevent harmful programs from entering.”
