broadcast ban
No transmission allowed
A broadcast ban is an official prohibition on transmitting certain content over radio or television.
Governments may impose broadcast bans on specific individuals, organizations, or topics—often political dissidents, terrorist groups, or material deemed harmful to national security or public morals.
The broadcast ban on IRA members forced news programs to use actors' voices over footage of interviews.
