Russia Today: News Channel RT's UK Licence Revoked by Ofcom

BBC: Russian state-backed news channel RT has had its licence to broadcast in the UK revoked "with immediate effect" by media regulator Ofcom.

The watchdog said RT's parent body ANO TV Novosti was not "fit and proper to hold a UK broadcast licence".

RT's coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been under investigation by Ofcom, and the channel had already disappeared from UK screens.

RT, formerly named Russia Today, called Ofcom "a tool of the government".

The channel became unavailable on all UK broadcast platforms earlier this month as a result of a ban imposed by the European Union. » | Friday, March 18, 2022

RT, a Moscow-based channel formerly known as Russia Today, said on Wednesday it had secured exclusive first broadcast rights for Mr Assange’s new 10-part interview show ‘The World Tomorrow.’

“Details of the episodes and the guests featured are secret for now,” RT said in a statement, adding it was proud to be associated with the WikiLeaks founder.

On bail in the UK with strict limits on his freedom of movement pending possible extradition to Sweden on sex crime charges he denies, RT said Mr Assange would interview "’iconoclasts, visionaries and power insiders’" – people Assange can clearly identify with, being a rather controversial figure himself.”
