after-content-x4

The television station Thai PBS ( Thai Thai PBS ) sends as the sixth terrestrial television in Thailand. However, the range was still limited, since one was only sent via antenna in the analog UHF area. However, the image quality was better and more trouble-free than with the other nationwide TV programs sent the analogous to VHF in Thailand. The analog charisma ended in 2018. Today the state TPBS ( Thai Public Broadcasting Service , Thai Public broadcasting organization of Thailand ; short STT ).

The transmitter is from the private television station iTV (Start start on May 9, 1995). ITV (Independent TV) was the only nationwide full program that was not operated by the government, the army or the former state business McOT. After the mass protests against the military -based government of General Suchinda Kraprayoon and its bloody suppression in “Black Mai” in 1992, as well as public indignation of censorship and biased reporting in the state media. [first] The broadcaster was owned by the office of Prime Minister, which the private operating company of ITV granted a thirty -year license for a fee of 230 million baht per year and a share of sales of 6.5% of the income. [2] ITV was imposed to send 70% news and 30% entertainment programs. The program was known for critical reports and documentation. His news was produced by the daily newspaper The Nation. In particular, the broadcaster was considered critical of the entrepreneur and politician Thaksin Shinawatra.

When ITV was in financial difficulties in 2000, Thaksin’s Shin Corporation bought the broadcaster shortly before the election campaign, which led to his election as the prime minister. The collaboration with the Nation Group and the Watchdog Group ended and thus also the negative attitude towards Thaksin. Journalists who did not want to participate in the positive line to Thaksin were released. [first] The economic performance of ITV, on the other hand, significantly improved. [3] After the takeover by Thaksin, the operator complained against the high license fee and the edition of the 70:30 ratio for news programs. An arbitration court in 2004 admitted a lower fee and a ratio of 50:50. On January 23, 2006, the Shinawatra family sold a large part of the shares of the Shin Corp. A holding company of the Singapore government to the Temasek Holdings. This triggered violent protests, among other things because it fell abroad on a Thai television station.

After the military coup against Thaksin in September 2006, the new government of Surayud Chulanont complained against the change in the license conditions made by ITV in 2004. The Supreme Administrative Court rightly gave the Prime Minister and condemned the company to restore the old distribution of the program shares and the additional payment of fees of 76 billion baht. That was intolerable for ITV and finally led to bankruptcy. [4] The government then withdrew the license and instead started the government’s own program Tit (Start start on March 7, 2007), with the program design of which she entrusted her department for public relations. She then commissioned a task force to create a non-commercial and “independent” program from the former ITV from the former ITV a non-commercial, only “independent” program. In January 2008, Thai Public Broadcasting Service was created. He went on the air on February 1, 2008. The program was designed for documentaries and children’s programs and is ad -free. Thai PBS had an average ratio of 4.9%in the second quarter of 2011. [5]
