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.
