NCC to appeal court ruling on CTI licence renewal
The National Communications Commission (NCC) says it plans to appeal a ruling by the Taipei High Administrative Court, after it overturned a 2020 ruling rejecting the renewal of CTi News' broadcast license.
The statement comes after the court sided with CTi News' appeal and ordered the NCC to review the case based on the court's opinions. The NCC says the court ruling has come as a "surprise" and is "regrettable."
The commission says it rejected CTi News' broadcast license renewal because there were a large number of viewer complaints and because the broadcaster violated regulations on multiple occasions.
Although siding with CTi News' calls for a review of its broadcast license application, the court rejected a request for compensation from the government and the immediate reinstatement of the broadcast license.
