Lawyers to pay television giants, MultiChoice Nigeria, have described as incorrect media reports suggesting that the Court of Appeal has ordered the company to sub-licence some of its channels to Metro Digital Limited, a cable television service provider.

Metro Digital Limited had approached a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt after MultiChoice turned down its request for the sublicensing of some of its channels on the ground that it does not own the rights to the channels and programmes for which the request was made.

Last year, Metro Digital’s case was dismissed by the Federal High Court on the ground that it was unable to contradict MultiChoice’s claim that it does not own the rights to the content requested.
