The Press Ministry said it closed TVS, where many reporters took refuge after two other
channels were closed in succession, because it was mired in a financial and management
crisis. Journalists and liberals admitted the station had difficulties but said the move
threatened objective reporting of politics.
The channel's broadcasts ended abruptly at midnight during an advertisement, replaced first
by a test pattern and then a notice saying: "Farewell. We have been taken off the air." Within
minutes, a sports channel began broadcasts.
The ministry said TVS failed to meet the demands of quality broadcasting and had "sunk into
a financial, staffing and management crisis. In this situation, a decision had to be taken to
defend viewers' interests and take account of legal issues."
