MultiChoice has stopped broadcasting Russia Today as sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU led to the global distributor of the channel ceasing to provide the broadcast feed to suppliers.
MultiChoice said it cannot continue to broadcast RT on Dstv for reasons beyond its control.
The SA National Editors’ Forum (Sanef) has expressed concern about the “suppression” of news channels reporting on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Â
“This ranges from silencing independent news channels within Russia to channels such as RT [formerly Russia Today or Rossiya Segodnya] removed on the MultiChoice platform in SA,” Sanef said on Thursday.
