Israeli cable companies allowed to remove CNN programs

JERUSALEM, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli Satellite and Cable Commission decided Thursday to allow Israeli cable companies to remove CNN programs because of disputes over payment and coverage on Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.

The decision was approved by a large majority, following a stormy discussion on the issue.

A week ago, three cable companies filed separate requests to the Commission to end CNN broadcasts. The cable companies wrote that they were unable to reach an agreement with CNN on payment rates for the news broadcast.
