Broadcasting code: NBC sactions Channels tv, others over Endsars coverage
The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has sanctioned Africa Independent Television, AIT, Arise Television, and Channels Television for what it called a gross violation of the broadcast code, top of which is the use of unverifiable online video footages on social media.
The sanction, according to the Acting Director-General of the Commission, Armstrong Idachaba, will be a fine not less than two million Naira.
He warned that this will be the last warning before a heavier sanction will be introduced.
Idachaba noted the retraction by the station but said that there must be consequences.
