In recent years, due to changes in people’s viewing habits, cable TV channels have also been conducting 24-hour live news broadcasts simultaneously on the YouTube platform. However, starting from April 1, both Easton and TVBS announced that they would stop providing live news services on YouTube. The author will sort out the current live news links on YouTube for you, as well as what other legal channels you can watch if you want to watch these channels.
Many news stations announced that they will stop live news broadcasts on YouTube? !
Many wireless and cable TV channels provide live news services on their own channels on the YouTube platform. However, on April 1, many TV stations announced on the channel live broadcast that they would stop live broadcasting on YouTube. First of all, TVBS announced that the “24-hour live broadcast block” of the two channels “TVBS NEWS” and “TVBS Select News” broadcast on the YouTube platform will stop broadcasting in Taiwan starting from 00:00 on April 8 (Friday).
In addition, non-overseas viewers can still watch 24-hour live content on the YouTube platform. TVBS also invites Taiwanese viewers to watch on Cable TV Channel 55/56. You can also visit the TVBS News official website and TVBS News App to keep track of real-time news from TVBS.
Dongsen News announced that due to operational strategy adjustments, it initially announced that it would terminate the “24-hour online live broadcast” on the YouTube platform on April 1, but later changed it to suspend the news live broadcast service on April 8 (Friday). Dongsen also invites viewers to go to Dongsen News App or Dongsen News official website to watch Dongsen’s news reports.
As for Sanli News, which has re-established live news links since April 1 and separated Taiwan from overseas links, it is currently uncertain whether it will stop the YouTube news live service in the future. As of now, no further announcement has been made about the suspension.
Since the end of last year, cable TV system operators and channel operators have been negotiating licensing fees. At that time, there were reports that cable TV operators requested a reduction in licensing fees. Now, some news stations have chosen to “stop live broadcasting” at this time, which may also reflect the results of subsequent negotiations.
