No new Channel 52 application from Homeplus
MANEUVERING: Homeplus withdrew its application after CTS gained approval to make a deal with the company so that CTS News and Info could move to the vacant channel

Homeplus Digital Co has yet to file a new application for another news channel to take over Channel 52 after retracting its previous application on Friday last week, the National Communications Commission said yesterday, adding that it would evaluate any proposed replacement based on four main aspects stipulated in the Cable Radio and Television Act’s (有線廣播電視法) enforcement rules.
The commission on Nov. 18 last year refused to renew the broadcasting license for CTi News, which had occupied the channel.
