NBC says Channels TV has apologised over it's breach of broadcasting code

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has today said that Channels Television has apologised over its infraction of the broadcasting code. NBC’s Director of Public Affairs, Mrs Franca Aiyetan, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Abuja, today.

 

Following reports that the NBC suspended Channels TV, Aiyetan explained that the commission’s letter to the TV station was a regulatory instrument to check the excesses of the station called “the bridge letter “. She said that the intent of the letter was neither to close down nor sanction the station, rather it was meant to draw the station’s attention to its breach of the broadcasting code, adding that “the station has accordingly apologised’’. According to her, the letter is asking Channels TV to explain why it gave credence to an organisation that was already proscribed by the Federal Government.
