September 19, 200619 yr Since about 10 minutes no broadcast anymore . Went off at 11:55pm here in Bangkok - at precisely the same time as the announcement being made on Thai tv. I guess it a means of ensuring no mistruths are being published within Bangkok! So much rumour & innuendo it's probably best to wait for the facts to come out. If they ever do.....
September 19, 200619 yr All my UBC stations have been working fine for the past 1 hour + BBC, CNN, Fox, etc. have not been interrupted for me. I'm in Bangkok Local stations fine, too.

September 19, 200619 yr What I've heard from Thai friends - apparently Thaksin was going to make a speech at the UN assembly, and the military doesn't want people here to watch it.
September 19, 200619 yr That's funny.. all of my UBC stations working as normal. Although one local channel blacks out for about a second every minute or so (don't know why)
September 19, 200619 yr BBC can be seen with live feeds on Panamsat 2, Panamsat 8 and other satellite channels CNN on most paytv networks is up bar UBC The best news feed about it is Sky News (UK) or for satellite users on the APTN feed on UP4 on Asiasat 2 here in Thailand, also note there are sky news screens dumps here as well http://www.jsat.tv/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1144549628 which dumps out every minute

September 19, 200619 yr Thai television "News1" just reported that it was Thaksin who sent the army to take out the signals of local television stations. Also, the King is in Bangkok. AP reporting Bangkok is under martial law.
September 20, 200619 yr BBC still not showing on UBC digital satellite in BKK. Thaksin's speech is hardly covered on the BBC website, so can't see them making much room for it live on air.

September 20, 200619 yr BBC, HBO, Cinemax, and Discover channel out now...Fox and CNN are working still. Do you have UBC or some other provider? As far as I know, UBC doesn't carry Fox.
September 20, 200619 yr Now everything is back - all news channels are on again ! Not so fast... as soon as they started talking about Thailand on CNN (just before 14:00), the picture quickly cut to a red screen and then was restored as soon as that report ended.
September 20, 200619 yr Not so fast... as soon as they started talking about Thailand on CNN (just before 14:00), the picture quickly cut to a red screen and then was restored as soon as that report ended. Apparently BBC is the same, dumb really, none of the BBC reports I've seen here in Holland have been negative, just (hopefully) factual "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

Apparently BBC is the same, dumb really, none of the BBC reports I've seen here in Holland have been negative, just (hopefully) factual I think it's on the mention of the name "Thaksin", not on the coup itself. The headline report was screened without problems, but when they came back to the subject later it was censored.

Right now, the military can't take the chance that some well meaning Thai intellectual is going to voice their initial reactions on global TV, potentially giving Dr. Thaksin's people in the countryside verbal ammunition to create problems. The military needs to continue to quickly restore confidence and stabillity. From here in Bangkok, so far, they are doing a great job.
