Thai Public Broadcasting Service programming to begin Feb. 1

The Thai Public Broadcasting Service (TPBS) will start broadcasting from tomorrow until 14 February in a trial period without news reports, said the station’s acting director Thepchai Yong yesterday. Full programming with news reports will begin from 15 February, he said.

The trial, from 5am to midnight, will have documentaries, children’s shows, a live talk show, and Chinese movies. Mr Thepchai said the choice of programmes was above board and complied with the objective of making TPBS public television free of commercial interest.
