Multi Technology Vision Inc (MTV) Channel 65’s antenna crashed to the ground on Thursday night in what is suspected to be sabotage that has forced the station off the airwaves.
MTV released a statement yesterday notifying that Channel 14/65 would be off the air until further notice since the broadcast tower at its studio in Industrial Estate, Eccles collapsed and caused severe damage to the building and other equipment. A pair of bolt cutters was found on one of the wires.
“The circumstances surrounding this collapse are currently under investigation, however, sabotage is not ruled out. Our team is working assiduously to restore all operations,” the statement said.
