BBC GRANTED BROADCAST LICENSE
The British Broadcasting Corp. has been granted a license to broadcast in
China
seven years after being switched off by Rupert Murdoch"s Star TV network,
according to a report in the Financial Times. The newspaper said the Chinese
government had previously been hostile to the BBC by obstructing its
correspondents in China and jamming its radio transmission into the country.
Beijing"s State Administration for Radio, Film and Television had now
granted
the BBC World television news service a license for broadcast in three-star
to
five-star hotels, guest houses and foreign apartments in China. Murdoch
chose
in 1994 to drop the BBC news service from his News Corp-owned Star TV
network to please China"s political leadership.
