Recall that the new satellite TV was launched on October 1, with many Nigerians expressing delight at the launch and prospect the new satellite TV provider will provide.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Copyrights Commission (NCC) had neither acknowledged or refuted the said letter as at the time of this report.

There was also no mention of the matter on beIN’s twitter handle: @beINmena nor its website.
