Hello,

The CGTN on Freeview has shown nothing but test card for the last couple of weeks. Will it be returning to broadcast as normal soon?

Alfred Robinson: CGTN has been removed from satellite as it no longer holds an Ofcom licence. You can watch on the channel's website at TV Watch CGTN English Live

alfie: As per my post above yours, CGTN no longer holds a UK broadcasting licence and was removed from Sky/Freesat a couple of years ago. You can still watch via their website or app.
