Multichoice, DSTV/GOTV to Shut Down June 2019
According to a letter issued on Tuesday, by the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation(NBC), to the management of MultiChoice DSTV/GOTV, the license issued to Multichoice in 2014 by NBC will not be renewed because, it was not in line with Digital Switch Over (DSO) White Paper.
This means that Multichoice operations in Nigeria, will come to an end in 2019 as their license expires June next year.
If Multichoice DSTV/GOTV will ever operate in Nigeria again after expiration of its license, they will have 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.
