Sri Lanka Tamil separatist outfit, Liberation Tigers of
Tamil Eelam has come up with another new Tamil Television
channel in Europe. Already they have started the test
telecast of the new Tamil TV channel from 1 March and
is clearly seen at Eurobird 9 @ 9° East satellite
platform.
Earlier,
French Government banned on last May, the Tamil Television
Network - TTN channel run by the Liberation Tigers of
Tamil Eelam. After TTN channel was banned they came up
with another channel called Tharishanam.
Tigers
converted the Tharisanam TV channel, which is originally
from Australia as a Pay channel in Europe and they are
now minting money.
Tigers
are very particular to safeguard the money minting Tharshanam
TV Channel in Europe, by gradually reducing to the barest
minimum, programs connected with the LTTE propaganda.
Anyhow,
Tigers feel that it is important to continue with their
aggressive propaganda campaign in the midst of the Tamil
diaspora in Europe and they have launched the new Tamil
TV channel to take forward their propaganda as well as
their disinformation campaign against the Government of
Sri Lanka in Europe.
The
new channel called “Euro Television” which
is presently telecast on a test basis, is reliably learnt
launched by the Tigers in Switzerland. It is observed
that they have already brought back in their employ many
of their ex-TTN channel producers, commentators and others
to the new TV channel.
Though
the studio for new channel is located in Switzerland,
the channel is televised from Milan in Italy. M-Three
Satcom Srl (Reg. N° Milano 04480710963, Registered
Office: Foro Bonaparte 71, 20121 Milano, Italy), a private
business organisation is televising this Channel.
At
present Tiger members and supporters in different European
countries are busy making arrangements to link this channel
in their respective countries through satelite recievers.
In
the meantime, earlier the National Television of Tamil
Eelam (NTT), which was televised from Vanni to Asia as
well as to Europe via Intelsat satellite platform hence
the illegal transmission of the NTT via Intelsat satellite
came to light.
Subsequently,
Bernard Goonatilake, Sri Lanka’s Ambassador in Washington
took up this matter with the Intelsat authorities and
ended the illegal transmission of the NTT channel via
the Intelsat platform.
It
is now learnt that Tigers in Vanni has restarted NTT channel
beaming to Asia through AsiaSat satellite platform.
