FG to close down multi choice DSTV/GOTV by June 2019

The Federal Government may have notified the
management of MultiChoice DSTV/GOTV that
their operations, in Nigeria, will come to an
end in 2019 as their license expires June next
year.

According to a letter to that effect issued, on
Tuesday, by the Nigerian Broadcasting
Corporation (NBC), the license issued to them
in 2014 by NBC will not be renewed because it
was not in line with Digital Switch Over (DSO)
White Paper.

If Multichoice DSTV/GOTV will ever operate in
Nigeria again after the expiration of its
license, the only option left for them is to go
to licensed Signal Distribution company, that
is Pinnacle Communications Ltd or ITS.

GOTV has been accused of being used as a
conduit to siphon foreign exchange from
Nigeria by its parent company, South African
MultiChoice DSTV.
