Emmanuel TV, the broadcasting arm of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), is making a transition from the DSTV cable platform to Free to Air (FTA) Decoder. This move comes in response to the channel being delisted from DSTV on January 17, citing what Emmanuel TV viewers have deemed as “flimsy and spurious” allegations.
Numerous Emmanuel TV enthusiasts have already shifted their viewership from DSTV to HD decoders.
Reports indicate that DSTV informed SCOAN that the viewership strength of Emmanuel TV no longer justified retaining the Christian channel on its platform. However, SCOAN disputed DSTV’s claim and requested empirical proof, which DSTV allegedly failed to provide before discontinuing the channel—an action Emmanuel TV viewers perceive as a premeditated decision.
Sources suggest that Emmanuel TV had been under pressure and criticism for “airing offensive broadcasts against the mental health of some people in the world”. The church clarified that the offended individuals belong to the LGBTQ community, who had openly expressed and received deliverance during SCOAN’s services.
In its Sunday service, SCOAN announced the migration from DSTV, GOTV, and all other pay cable platforms. It urged Emmanuel TV viewers worldwide to transition to Free To Air (FTA) High Definition (HD) Decoder, Apple TV, FireTV stick, Roku TV, and Google TV—all available for download on the Apple Store and Google Play. The church emphasized that this shift would make accessing Emmanuel TV more versatile, convenient, and reliable.
