In a letter dated 24th November, 2022, Multichoice Uganda General Manager Hassan Saleh, on behalf of Multichoice Africa Holdings CEO, Fhulufhelo Badugela wrote to Salt TV Managing Director Pastor Aloysious Bujjingo informing him that they will discontinue carriage of Salt TV, on GOtv after 5 January 2023.
In his letter, Hassan said, “The Channel’s low performance has remained consistent for an extended period of time. Regrettably, due to the ongoing performance failure and the very limited DTT capacity we will discontinue carriage of the Channel, on GOtv after 5 January 2023. Please note that carriage on DStv will continue uninterrupted: however, the channel performance will continue uninterrupted; continue to be monitored.”
“The letter constitutes notice in accordance with clause 5 of the Agreement. Given that carriage of the Channel on DStv will continue, all terms and conditions of the Agreement shall continue to full force and effect. we reserve all right, in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement,” Mr. Hassan added.
A message was sent to every GOtv subscriber informing them that Salt TV will be off GOtv come 5 January, 2023.
It should be remembered that when salt TV was going to be placed on GOtv and DStv, believers from House of Prayer Ministries International (HPMI), the church that birthed Salt Media, ran a countrywide drive where believers from different parts of the country bought decoders from Multichoice.
Over 5000 decoders were bought in the drive during the promotion with people yearning to follow their favourite programmes especially the famous daily Lunch Hour programmes, Sunday service, Emisingi bible study programme that airs everyday from 8:00-9:00 and the deeply investigative news telecasts.
Not surprising, Pastor Alloysius Bugingo is using his platform to blackmail Multichoice. The only pastor with two wives, was over heard telling his congregation that Multichoice was being used by his foes to bring him down. This move is proof that his viewers have gone so low.
