waerth Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 http://thainews.prd.go.th/centerweb/newsen/NewsDetail?NT01_NewsID=WNPOL5705200010021 BANGKOK, 20 May 2014 (NNT) – The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) have continued to broadcast their rallies on Aksa Road in defiance of the Peace and Order Maintaining Command (POMC)’s earlier order to shut down satellite TV stations affiliated with political protest groups. The UDD maintained the live broadcast via a website under the name ‘Speedhorse TV’ or SHTV. Live broadcasts of their demonstrations have also been posted on YouTube and blogspot channels. The move came after the POMC shut down 11 satellite TV stations and unlicensed community radio stations belonging to both sides of the political spectrum. The body pointed out that the stations have been shut down to ensure dissemination of news is accurate and not distorted. The pro-government group’s plans to stage demonstrations to counter against the People's Democratic Reform Committee reportedly remain unchanged.

Flashermac Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I see that Blue Sky TV has complied with the orders, but the UDD has always thought it was above the law. Thaksin probably told them to defy the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Satellite channels ordered to close At least 10 cable and satellite TV stations including the anti-government BlueSky and pro-government Asia updates have been ordered to halt broadcasting pending further notice, according to the military's 6th announcement. In order to stop the spread of false information, the cable and satellite networks must cease their operations to maintain law and order in the kingdom, it said. The networks that have been shut down are ASTV, MV5, DNN, Asia Update, Bluesky, UDD, P&P, FourChannel, MFTV and Tnews. The announcement came after the military invoked the martial law in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Army Commander in Chief Gen Prayuth Chanocha set up a peacekeeping command under the martial law, appointing himself as director. The media networks have been used for political purposes by conflicting parties in the country over the past months. Illegal radio networks also ceased operations in accordance with the order. http://www.nationmul...e-30234073.html - ASTV is Sondhi Limtongkul's station, the former yellow shirts. Asia Updates is Takky's people. Blue Sky started out pro-Democrat, but has more or less become the whistle blowers' station. UDD is the fanatical red shirts' station. I don't know what Mo Fo TV is.

Flashermac Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Broadcasting through Youtube? Posting videos, I presume you mean. I doubt that would reach much of an audience. Not sure if it would meet the definition of broadcasting, but we will soon find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
