DSTV yanks off Late TB Joshua’s Emmanuel TV channel

Thousands of Emmanuel TV viewers, the broadcasting arm of Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) are moving away with enthusiasm from the DSTV cable platform to Free to Air (FTA) decoder.

This followed the delisting of the channel on Wednesday, January 17 from its platform on allegation which Emmanuel TV viewers described as “flimsy and spurious.”

DSTV, had written to SCOAN alleging that viewers of Emmanuel TV were no longer strong enough for it to retain the Christian channel on its stable.

But SCOAN disagreed with the DSTV’s allegation and made a request for an empirical proof which DSTV failed to provide and still went ahead to remove the channel in what looked like a premeditated decision.

It further stated that the investigations also show that Emmanuel TV before now had been under pressure and attack for “airing offensive broadcasts against the mental health of some people in the world”. These so-called offended people are those in the categories of LGTBQ people who manifested and received deliverance during SCOAN’s services. This obviously is the crux of the matter as the church has no control over whom the Holy Spirit would arrest during its church services.

Consequently, SCOAN in its Sunday service had announced its migration from DSTV, GOTV and all other pay cable platforms asking all Emmanuel TV viewers across the globe to follow suit to Free To Air FTA High Definition HD Decoder, Apple TV, FireTV stick, Roku TV, Google TV all to be downloaded on the Apple Store and Google Play where “accessing Emmanuel TV is about to become more versatile, more convenient and more reliable”.

NewsClick Nigeria reports that SCOAN was founded by late Prophet T.B. Joshua in 1987. According to Wikipedia, the late prophet passed in 2021 shortly after an ongoing service. The church is now being managed by his widow, Evelyn Joshua.
