A change to the national broadcasts of news bulletins has been met with a considerable amount of criticism after TVM announced that news and current affairs shows will no longer air on TVM’s primary station but on a newly-converted TVMnews+.
The new television station will take the place of TVM2 and exclusively air news, sports, culture & history programmes with TVM to only broadcast programmes related to entertainment.
The first to criticise the move were the PN, who stated that they are considering legal action to put a halt to the Labour Party’s ‘grip’ on Malta’s national television station, expressing that they do not believe PBS management will act fairly and autonomously after being found guilty of partiality multiple times.
The PN also highlighted how multiple journalists reportedly left the television station due to the inability to work freely and also criticised the lack of coverage given to the Opposition, despite orders from The Broadcasting Authority.
