Newly launched digital satellite TV service, TELCOMM SATELLITE TV (TStv), has been accused by two international content providers, Turner Broadcasting System Europe Limited and belN, of infringing their exclusive distribution rights to certain television programmes.

In a letter circulating on the net, they said TStv did not have the rights to air the Cable News Network (CNN) channel, owned by Turner Broadcasting System and the 10 beIN Sports channels it advertised on its website.
Responding to the claim on its Facebook page, TStv said the letter was fake and designed to create a bias against their product in the minds of Nigerians.
It said, “We are not unaware of the messages circulating the social media regarding letters from belN Sports and Turner respectively. We wish to inform Nigerians once again that the letters being circulated are fake. They were designed primarily to bias Nigerians. Kindly disregard the said frivolous letters. TStv Africa… connecting your world!”
The Federal Government last Sunday granted TStv Africa, a three-year tax relief and tax free dividends to all investors in the company.
