flag Ofcom revoked MATV's licences due to poor editorial control and ties to a BJP-linked group, halting the channel.

flag Ofcom has revoked the broadcast licences for MATV National and MATV Music, halting the Indian diaspora-focused satellite channel immediately. flag The move follows an investigation into lack of proper editorial control, with the regulator finding that Middlesex Broadcasting Corporation Limited failed to oversee programming, which was instead managed by MATV Broadcasting Ltd. Ofcom cited concerns over links to the politically oriented Overseas Friends of BJP UK, led by Kuldeep Singh Shekhawat, who denies political motives and claims his wife now holds majority control. flag The channel, which aired on Sky until the revocation, must cease operations, and Ofcom is unlikely to approve licence transfers.
