Supinya said the new rules are necessary given a similar action by Thai PBS, in abruptly ending the airing of the Fridays episode of the \"Tob Jote Prathet Thai\" (Answering Thailand's Questions). <\/p>\n

Without the decision, the station may upset the public. But the decision clouds the media environment. Viewers benefits should also be taken into account,\" she said. <\/p>\n
