At 1)PBS is ja eihgentliche eine Fortrsetzung von ITC ende der neunziger Jahre und sollte damals das ersxte Qualitätsfernsehen mit nachrichtenschwerpunkt sein. Die Wirschaftskrise verhinderte dies ja bekanntlich und der eingesprungene Whie Knight hatte andere Sachen im Sinn: Mehr Entertainment und weniger Politik /besonders Politik/Meinungen die ihm nicht passten also zwangsläufig massenentlassungen von Hournalisten/Redakteurendurch besagten Herrn. Fazit: Ende mit Qualitätsfernsehen.
Es ist zu hoffen, das die jetzige Regierung da nicht rein fuscht.

Under the Shin Corporation
![]()
An iTV news van on January 1, 2007, the morning after the 2006 Bangkok New Year's Eve bombings.
Under new ownership, iTV's news programming became less hard hitting.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] Journalists said they were pressured to downplay negative news about Shin Corporation's then-owner, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and his Thai Rak Thai party. Twenty-one journalists were fired for speaking out. They later won a court case against iTV and were awarded several years of back pay. [SUP][4][/SUP]
Originally, iTV's news-to-entertainment ratio was about 70:30. In the station's latter years, iTV increased its entertainment-based programming so that about 50% of its shows were entertainment. Among its popular programs was the Thailand version of the Big Brother reality TV show.
In 2004, iTV was granted permission by an arbitration panel that it could increase the amount of entertainment programming and pay the government 230 million baht in annual licensing fees, an amount that was drastically reduced from the 1 billion baht the station had agreed to pay.
In June 2006, as a result of iTV's changes in programming, Thailand's Central Administrative Court invalidated the arbitration panel's ruling, saying the news-to-entertainment ratio must be returned to 70:30 and that broadcaster must pay 76 billion baht in fines.[SUP][5][/SUP] iTV contested the court's decision.[SUP][6][/SUP]
Media-reform activists in Thailand, such as Supinya Klangnarong and Jon Ungpakorn had suggested that the station model itself as a public broadcaster, similar to the BBC, PBS, NHK or the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, which the activists say would allow it to better achieve its original mission as an independent public network free of political intervention and business interests.
"The goal of founding iTV back in 1995 was to provide a public service via a truly independent network. That ideal should continue to be supported as we shouldn't forget that this network was set up following the 'dark age' of information which led to the Bloody May events of 1992," Jon Ungpakorn told The Nation.[SUP][7][/SUP]
