Former Ethiopian Satellite Television (ESAT) journalists on Wednesday announced that they are working together again under the Ethiopian Satellite Network Television (ESAN TV) brand.
Journalists who worked for ESAT have been running their news channel on YouTube after they left ESAT following a dispute.
Messay Mekonnen (Anchor Media), Dereje Habtewold (Dere News), Tamagne Beyene (Tamagne Media) Abebe Gelaw (Ethiopian Voice Network), Metasebia Ketsela (Menalesh Meti) and Ethiopian Media Service have jointed to form the new station.
In his latest appearance at the Ethiopian Parliament, PM Abiy Ahmed insinuated that Ethiopia’s enemies are funding media in the diaspora.
In their first transmission, the ESAN TV team responded to Abiy Ahmed’s remark. They said that Ethiopians living abroad have supported the new station , and they are soliciting continuous support for the station.
