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 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
Multi Choice DSTV.
