ABS TV is back on the airwaves!
We have learnt that Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has lifted the suspension on the Pastor Yiga owned TV station.
This follows negotiations between the regulator and the station’s management that saw the station given a second chance. The suspension has been lifted on a six-month probation during which period UCC will evaluate and continuously monitor all programs and content broadcast to ensure they are in line with the law and also meet the minimum broadcasting standards.
UCC had recently revoked ABS TV’s broadcasting license for repeatedly breaching the law and the minimum broadcasting standards. This after the TV station shocked the nation with a sensual news program. It had also previously come under fire for its controversial show, Kalondozi, where UCC slapped it with a fine of Ugx 25 Million.
Here’s a letter announcing the lifting of the suspension.
