'The March 18th decision to revoke the licence of RT cited '29 ongoing investigations by Ofcom into the due impartiality of RT’s news and current-affairs coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine' - https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/latest/bulletins/content-sanctions-adjudications/decision-ano-tv-novosti
Point 51 of the in-depth document noted that these investigations had been launched 'following monitoring and complaints about RT’s coverage of
the conflict in Ukraine' but that Ofcom had 'not concluded on any of these
investigations' at the time - https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/234023/revocation-notice-ano-tv-novosti.pdf Please could you provide any relevant documentation about the substance of these complaints and the outcome of the subsequent investigations, ie: whether RT was found guilty of spreading documented falsehoods about the war in Ukraine in addition to the rather subjective judgement that it was considered not 'fit and proper to hold a UK broadcast licence.' Many thanks in advance.'
Acknowledged on the 21st with the assurance that they will 'endeavour to answer your request in full and within 20 Working Days. If we are unable to provide the information requested, we will explain why the information has not been provided'.
Will post any reply in due course, watch this space...
