YouTube this week terminated the account of a News Corporation-owned radio station.
A message posted by YouTube on the account formerly used by British broadcaster Talk Radio said the channel was removed for “violating YouTube’s community guidelines,” though the post didn’t specify which part of YouTube’s policy was violated.
Talk Radio acknowledged the termination of its YouTube channel in a statement posted on other social media platforms Tuesday morning.
“We urgently await a detailed response from Google [and] YouTube about the nature of the breach that has led to our channel being removed from its platform,” a spokesperson for the radio network said, adding that Talk Radio is licensed by British media regulators and has “robust” editorial policies to ensure a balance of opinion on its programs.
“We regularly interrogate government data and we have controls in place, use verifiable sources and give space to a careful selection of voices and opinions,” the spokesperson said.
