    Russia Today has had its licence to broadcast in the UK revoked with immediate effect after watchdog Ofcom said it did not consider the channel "fit and proper" or a "responsible broadcaster".

    The media regulator said that it had taken into account "a number of factors" including the fact that the news channel was funded by the Russian state "which has recently invaded a neigbouring sovereign country".

    Ofcom also cited new laws in Russia "which effectively criminalise any independent journalism that departs from the Russian state's own news narrative, in particular in relation to the invasion of Ukraine".


    "We consider that given these constraints it appears impossible for RT to comply with the due impartiality rules of our Broadcasting Code in the circumstances," the regulator added.

    RT responded to the decision by saying Ofcom had shown itself to be "nothing more than a tool of government, bending to its media-suppressing will".

    Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "This is a continuation of the madness which is going on in America and Europe - it is anti-Russian madness.

    "This is yet another step that crudely limits freedom of speech."



    if it werent so sad it would be hilarious... i wonder if the kremlin has a writer for all this pish they spout?

    In case you wondered. The song on the 'Kayak' sponsored Pick tv channel is Oktoba, by Laura Greaves.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANg5...annel=headcell

    It caught my attention, so I looked it up.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    If you have Shazam on your phone it's easy peasy. I can usually have the song title and artist before the advert is ended

    Strange thing with Shazam though, it doesn't seem to "listen" the same way we do. One time while on holiday I tried to identify a particular song some bloke was singing in this bar. Shazam was having none of it.

    I don't use a smartphone. In fact I don't use any kind of mobile phone much at all.

    Doesn't work if the song is performed in the 'club' style.
