COURT LIFTS FREEZE ON MURDOCH’S GEORGIAN TV CHANNEL
A Georgian court has lifted broadcastings freeze on Rupert Murdoch’s part-owned independent TV station Imeda, a month after it was ordered off air.
But that doesn’t mean it will be on air in a hurry.
The masked men who stormed into Imedi's offices on November 7 destroyed its equipment when the newscast was pulled off the air mid-broadcast (see previous MediaBlab reports in Factiva archive.)
According to AP, Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp bought Imedi earlier this year, and station officials said at the time that it could take three months to repair the equipment and get back on air.
