U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) Launches 24/7 Satellite TV Channel for Burma to Counter Military Censorship

Excerpt: The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) announced this week that two of its public service media networks — the Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Asia (RFA) — have joined forces to create a new 24-hour video channel for audiences in Burma. The channel, available on two different direct-to-home TV satellites covering Burma, is in response to the Burmese military’s shutdown of independent media and its intermittent blocking of mobile phone service and internet since the military’s February 1 coup.”
