Poroshenko, three days before the elections, was going to close Muraev’s channel
The National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting intends to go to court to annul the license of the Maxi-TV channel owned by Evgeniy Muraev (Our Prague LLC, Kiev, satellite broadcasting, NASH logo), which unauthorizedly, without making changes to license, changed the program concept, according to the regulator’s website, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the National Council, the Maxi-TV channel arbitrarily turned into an information and analytical channel without a corresponding decision from the regulator.
According to the State Register of Individuals and Legal Entrepreneurs, the beneficial owner of the Our Prague company is the father of MP Evgeniy Muraev, Vladimir Muraev.
The regulator’s message notes that on March 1, the National Council conducted an unscheduled on-site inspection of the TV channel and found that the violations for which “NASH” received the sanction of “announcement of a warning” had not been eliminated. Therefore, at a meeting on March 28, 2019, the regulator decided to go to court with a claim to cancel the TV channel’s license.
“The broadcast format does not meet the licensing conditions: according to the license, it is cultural and entertainment with film screening, but in fact it is information and analytical,” the National Council emphasized.
In fact, they want to close the channel due to the fact that in the last weeks before the elections it turned into a platform for almost all the opponents of the current president - from Vilkul and Portnov to Tymoshenko, Gritsenko and Biletsky, who openly campaigned the audience live to prevent the exit Poroshenko in the second round of elections.
