[SatNews] With earlier difficulties with Chinese censors now alleviated...

NTD’s viewers in Asia can now receive the Company's programming on Taiwan’s Chunghwa Telecom’s ST-2 Satellite. The signal was successfully transferred from the previous satellite on Monday, August 1st. The signal frequency is now 3655 MHz to 3659 MHz.

NTD's partner station in Taiwan, NTD Asia Pacific, secured its satellite contract renewal with Chunghwa at the end of June. Taiwan’s largest, government backed telecom company, Chunghwa had originally refused the contract renewal. Some suspected the Chinese regime was pressuring NTD because of the Company's news and programming, which exposes issues that are censored by the Chinese regime. This prompted active lobbying by NTD AP and Taiwan’s citizenry. The station received support from local and international lawmakers and media freedom advocates along the way. In addition to the worldwide satellite broadcasts, viewers can also watch NTD programs for free on their website at www.ntdtv.com.
