iTV seeks injunction
Embattled broadcaster iTV will seek an injunction from the Central Administrative Court today against a PM's Office demand for repayment of an almost Bt100-billion debt.
An iTV source yesterday said the broadcaster would ask the court to rule its repayment to the PM's Office be limited to the unpaid concession fee of Bt2.2 billion, while payment of a fine of more than Bt97 billion should be settled by an arbitration panel.Earlier this month, iTV made the same appeal to Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont. The PM's Office, which owns the iTV concession, has demanded iTV pay before a March 6 deadline both the unpaid concession fee and a fine for adjusting the ratio of prime-time news-entertainment television programming without its consent.
