Voice TV, a news outlet owned by former PM Thaksin Shinawatra's children, has vowed to take legal action against regulators after its digital TV licence was suspended for seven days. The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) on Monday suspended its licence for bias and unjustified criticisms on several occasions. Lt Gen Phirapong Manakit, an NBTC member, said the subcommittee overseeing broadcast content had originally proposed a three-day licence suspension. The NBTC found the channel had allowed criticisms in violation of the NBTC Act and the junta's orders. It won a digital TV licence three years ago.
