So what's video and audio programme? It has a definition, but in practice it has to be interpreted some way. That's why regulation can GET tight sometimes. China is complicated.

Are Weibo, iFeng, and ACFUN popular sites in China for livestreaming or sharing videos? I know if a western government ordered YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook to "stop their video and audio program service" in their country that could most definitely be interpreted as a ban on livestreaming (or even on all forms of streaming in general), even if the ban didn't include smaller sites like Vimeo or Periscope.
Now, as btw0 notes, these licenses are scarce, and so this amounts to a _de facto_ ban of a sort for people who only know about these popular sites, but it is not a ban in the strict sense.
Second of all, live streaming is definitely censored in the same way. But the sites mentioned, Weibo, iFeng, and ACFUN, have no live streaming service, only (what is the word for not live?) streaming service.
