Managers of 'Hiru' told Lanka-e-news that they have started their transmissions in indoor studios and outdoor transmissions will be started by March.<BR/><BR/>The licence issued to 'Hiru' was cancelled by the Minister of Media and Information saying that false news was aired by them about a LTTE attack to Ranminitenna in Tissamaharama. Chairman of 'Hiru' Media Network has submitted a petition to the courts against the Minister;s order, but it was rejected. However, there were no objections from Courts to get a new licence.<BR/><BR/>After this incident, Mr. Duminda Silva, UNP member of Western Provincial Council, and brother of 'Hiru' Local Partner, Mr. Reynor Silva, resigned from UNP and joined SLFP. Then, political and media rumours spread all over saying that this crossing over is to get the licence back, but, at a press conference, Mr. Duminda Silva stated that there were no connections between his crossing over to SLFP and the cancelled licence.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, it is reported that President's son, Mr. Namal Rajapakshe is going to be appointed as a Director of 'Hiru Media Network', but so far, no such appointment is made, said the above Asst. Manager.MERINO ROSHAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03738759373590006883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26479479.post-29853962670022863722008-02-25T20:13:00.000+05:302008-02-25T20:13:00.000+05:30Channel Cgood luck !------------------------------...Channel C<BR/><BR/>good luck !<BR/><BR/>-------------------------------------<BR/><A HREF="http://srilankainfocus.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Sri Lanka In Focus-NEWS & CHAT</A>LKDOODhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18426997279106115254noreply@blogger.com
