Dear audience,

The union ministry of information and broadcasting has once again blocked the broadcast of news channel MediaOne, citing security reasons. The central government has not been forthcoming with the details. MediaOne is taking urgent legal steps for the restoration of the channel, and hope to get back to the viewers as soon as we can. For the time being, we are suspending our telecast, confident that justice will prevail.
