ITV to be pressed for hefty penalties

PM's Office Minister Khunying Dhipawadee Meksawan said today that the PM's Office, as the owner of the broadcasting concession to iTV Plc, will further pressure the broadcaster for the hefty fines of Bt135 billion.
The fines are a result of iTV's violation of the concession in terms of the programming ratio."We're the creditor and we will press for the payment. We need to follow through the procedure carefully to protect the national interests," she said. ITV's concession would be abolished at midnight, if the company could not repay the unpaid concession fee of Bt2.2 billion.
