partially
blacks out BBC and CNN

Chinese authorities intermittently blacked out broadcasts by CNN and the
BBC on satellite feeds to hotels and foreign compounds in the capital on
Sunday.
The disruptions came as Communist leaders held a week-long party
congress
that is expected to anoint a new generation of leaders. Security for
such
events is intense, and state-run local media have been instructed to
limit
controversial or negative news.
Authorities blocked CNN file footage of an interview with dissident Fang
Jue and a brief mention of Falun Gong, banned by the government in 1999
as
an "evil cult", during a feature about the search among Chinese for
spiritual solace, said CNN Beijing bureau chief, Jaime FlorCruz.
He said the blacked-out segment mentioned that Falun Gong had attracted
millions of followers before it was banned and showed footage of its
members going through their exercise-meditation routines.
There were also reports that segments of BBC news broadcasts directed at
Beijing viewers had also been blocked out since the congress began
Friday.
Government censors can use a delay of several seconds between the times
the
signal is received by the government's satellite, Sinosat,and the time
it
is relayed to earth stations and viewers in hotels and
compounds for foreigners.
