On February 4, Ofcom withdrew the license from the CGTN channel, which broadcasts in English
VIENNA, February 11. /TASS/. Russian Permanent Representative at the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich compared the withdrawal of license of the Chinese CGTN TV channel in the UK under the pretext of its ties to the Chinese government to similar actions against Russia Today, calling such behavior of the media regulator, Ofcom, hypocritical. Similarly, in 2019, the regulator fined the legal entity of the Russia Today TV Channel - the TV-Novosti autonomous non-profit organization, as well as the owner of the broadcasting license of the NTV-Mir Baltia channel: for an allegedly biased coverage of the long-debunked myth about poisoning of Sergey and Yulia Skripal, the envoy said at the OSCE Permanent Council meeting on the freedom of speech.
