Independant TV Company Stops Broadcasting

April 3, 2004

Independant TV Company Stops Broadcasting

On April 1, a supervisory council for the TV Company "Channel Nine" decided to stop broadcasting. Unfortunately, this was not an April Fool's Day joke. The reason for this decision is unknown. Financial reasons are unlikely, because the owner of the company is well-known Georgian oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili.

It should be mentioned that the office of the TV company is still under repair and its technical base and working conditions have been improved sufficiently. The TV company has won in tender last month and it was planning to start broadcasting over the country.

After the "Velvet Revolution", three popular TV shows were cancelled, and the government attacked another independent TV company, "Iberia".
