This is to officially and formally inform all our Esteemed Partners and customers that we are good to go as our Signal will hit the air on or before the 7th of November with all the expected and desired Channels especially the Sports and live football channels.
God gave us the victory and this is permanent.

This journey started in October 5th 2019 when the GIANT in the pay tv industry, DStv used EFcc to shut down 9 indigenous pay tv cable companies in Nigeria just because they want to enjoy Monopoly of the industry with regards to sports channels especially live football matches which is the most selling power for pay tv companies.

To refresh our memories, the companies shut down are (1) Metrodigital in PH. (2) CTL in PH and all thier branches nation wide. (3) CMTV in PH (4) Hashtronics in Kano (5) ABG-Metro in Kano and Kaduna (6) WorldLink Comm. In Warri (7) MCL in ABA ( Highland Comm in Ibadan .

It should be of note that many lost thier jobs and means of livelihood and most are still in the saturated labour market till date because a company want to have monopoly so as to maximize profit by high subscription.

Only one company took this as a challenge while the others felt it will be too much of a hassle to fight the GIANT and get victory for Nigerians. We went to court well armed with the amended NBC (National Broadcasting Commission) code that specifically prohibits Exclusivity of Premium Channels including football channels, by stating that any broadcaster who is licenced in Nigeria to air these football matches *SHALL* sublicense to any other at an agreed rate, but the GIANT refused, This code was taken to the Fed. High Court for interpretation where the GIANT swore to an oath they are not the owner of the channels even though the code did not say "owners but licencee" base on this the court in it's wisdom though agreed with the provisions of the code but can't order who did not have to give what they don't have, our Signal came on air waiting for the owners to show forth and the owners finally wrote us agreeing they are the owner and that we have no right and permission to broadcast these channels this is after getting the first judgment that rely on the affidavit that they are not the owner, on this strength we appealed the High Court Judgement in 2021 hence our Signal went off air again.

And in July 2022, the appeal court gave it's Judgment setting aside the High Court Judgement and Specifically ordered NBC to implement the section other code which means giving directive to whoever have that right to sublicence, we celebrated this with great hope and we commenced putting in a place technically to start but our hopes were dashed again with delays to the carrying out of the court order. We started another fight from July when we got the Judgment till we got that which the court says yesterday and we are ready to go without any hindrance and even if they want to appeal to Supreme Court which we are not aware of yet as we will never give up, this one is obeyed and gives us the right to do our business without hindrance so that Nigerians can watch live football matches with no holes in thier pockets.

THIS IS THE STORY OF THE JOURNEY SO FAR.
THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR US WAITING PATIENTLY. We got it because we refuse to give up like others.
