The government has plans to revamp staterun Channel 11 to become a modern television station for news and documentary programmed presented in a straightforward manner, Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej said on Friday.
"The revamped station will be run by professionals and everything will be legal and without the government interference," he said.
Samak said he wanted the news programmes to be fair and not skewed to favour the government.
As it was not legally feasible to establish a new television station at this time, the government had no choice but opted for the modernisation of Channel 11, he said.
He also denied speculation about the removal of Pramoj Rathavinij from his position as director general of the government's Public Relations Departmnt who oversees Channel 11.
