YANGON: AWS+, which was suspended for broadcasting movies that were not submitted to the screening committee, announced on August 7 that it would be shutting down its AWS+ application.
The statement said that the AWS+ application’s licence has been suspended and that the AWS+ application will be shut down in accordance with the instructions.

The Ministry of Information announced that AWS+ and cmapp.tv (Channel Myanmar App) have had their business registration certificates permanently revoked for broadcasting movies that were not submitted to the screening committee on their applications.
