According to Mtavari Arkhi, the channel’s morning program “Sheni Dila” is unable to air due to a financial crisis allegedly caused by its co-founder, Zaza Okuashvili.
”The financial crisis artificially created by Zaza Okuashvili, the co-founder of Mtavari Channel, is preventing “Sheni Dila” from airing. Zaza Okuashvili is advancing the Russian regime’s agenda and is shutting down the country’s leading critical channel. We are working hard to secure the resources needed to restore the broadcast,” the channel’s statement reads.
