CTi News has won the lawsuit against the NCC in its license renewal case.

The Taipei High Administrative Court has revoked the National Communications
Commission's ruling back on November 18, 2020 to reject the issuance of a new
operation license for CTi News.

The cable news channel was forced to shut down one month later when its
previous license expired and withdraw from channel 52.

The highly controversial ruling caused strong criticism from the opposition
KMT and many of the channel's viewers, saying it was politically motivated as
the news station inclined to support the blue camp.

Meanwhile CTi News filed a lawsuit against the NCC, arguing that the ruling
was biased and based on flawed procedures, and that it infringed upon freedom
of speech.

The High Court today orders the NCC to "take necessary measures according to
the verdict."

The case can still be appealed to a higher court.
