media blackout for yesterday's anti-government rally at Rama 5 statue
from The Nation, 05 Feb 06
MEDIA COVERAGE: Almost all TV stations avoid live broadcast of events from Royal Plaza
Those who wanted to follow yesterday’s anti-Thaksin rally had to depend on the radio or Internet for real-time updates.
No television stations, except the Manager Group’s ASTV satellite channel, broadcast the events from the Royal Plaza live.
They sent mobile units to cover the event and showed scenes during their hourly news programmes.
Prachai Liaopairat’s FM 92.25 and Manager Group’s FM 97.75 carried the protest all day, while Manager and The Nation posted breaking news on their websites.
