HONG KONG (Bloomberg): A Hong Kong pro-democracy radio station will air its final show Friday evening, ending nearly two decades of broadcasting due to what it called a "dangerous” political situation.

"Citizens’ Radio has no choice but to suspend broadcasting,” founder Tsang Kin-shing wrote in a post on the station’s official Facebook page. "Faced with a dangerous change in the political situation, red lines are everywhere.”
