Cape Town – MultiChoice says it "totally" rejects allegations made by Caxton in an application currently before South Africa's Competition Tribunal that the South Africa's satellite pay-TV platform's commercial deal for the supply of two TV channels with the SABC has led to an unhealthy influence over South Africa's public broadcaster and a decision on set-top box (STB) control.
Earlier this year Caxton, together with Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) and the civil society public broadcasting pressure group SOS Coalition took MultiChoice and the SABC to the Competition Tribunal.
