China/Foreign media giants/Star TV


FT: China probes Star TV linked company

"A dispute between News Corp’s Asian broadcaster Star TV and a former employee has prompted an investigation by Chinese authorities into alleged unauthorised sales of access to Star’s satellite channels."

"The investigation into a company connected to Star TV comes at an unfortunate time for the broadcaster, which has seen hopes of a greater opening of the Chinese market cooled by a tightening of media controls."
