Ten cable operators retract Channel 52 petitions for TTVIMAGE COUNTS: A source said TTV management had been tipped off that the applications would not be passed and wanted to avoid embarrassmentBy Shelley Shan / Staff reporterTen cable service operators have withdrawn their applications to have Taiwan Television (TTV) broadcast on Channel 52, the National Communications Commission (NCC) said yesterday. Channel 52 became a much-coveted spot on the nation’s cable system after the commission in 2020 rejected CTi News’ license renewal application. Taiwan Fixed Network Media Co originally applied to have TTV broadcast on Channel 52, but changed its application. The 10 cable service operators that withdrew their applications are all affiliated with Taiwanese media tycoon Lien Tai-sheng (練台生). “We have noticed, however, that some cable service operators have placed some of the news channels after channel 80,” it said.
