Multichoice DStv has informed viewers of its intention to stop the broadcast of the religious TV network, Emmanuel TV.
Emmanuel TV was set up by the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, T.B. Joshua.
The development follows a controversial documentary against the clergyman by the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC.
The viral documentary features individuals purported to be former members of the church who confess to having experienced molestation and torture at the hands of the late prophet.
In a message on screen, Multichoice said the discontinuation will take effect from January 17, 2024.
The message read, “Dear viewer, please note that Emmanuel TV will exit on the 17th of January 2024. Thank you for watching.”
Aside parting ways with MultiChoice, Emmanuel TV will also discontinue service on StarSat and various other pay-TV platforms.
This development followed a controversial three-part documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which alleged atrocities and sexual crimes committed against the late TB Joshua towards his disciples.
thedabigal reported that BBC embarked on a probe about the late cleric and his church, interviewing at least 30 alleged former members and workers of the SCOAN.
