(Reuters) - French media regulator Arcom has ordered Eutelsat to cease broadcasting Russian channels STS and Channel 5, after a probe revealed the satellite provider's commercial agreements had links to a sanctioned entity.

The formal notice follows an investigation prompted by requests from several non-governmental organizations that the broadcasting watchdog should take action against Eutelsat.
