MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The Management of the Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS) has dismissed media reports that it was invited by the Consolidated Group Incorporated to put the Liberia National Television (LNTV) on the Digital Satellite Television (DSTV).
According to ELBC Director General, Eugene Fahngon, the reports are false and misleading, only intended to distract the public.
Speaking in an ELBC interview on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, Fahngon urged the public not to give credence to any information of such.
The LBS Director General also called on media institutions in Liberia to always prioritize the ethics of good journalism by verifying information before publication.
He said: “This is crucial because it helps to foster public trust and credibility”.
Meanwhile, LBS says it is engaging DSTV Global to ensure that LNTV is placed on its platform.
According to Director General Fahngon, a team from DSTV Global is expected in the country shortly as part of the ongoing engagements.
Fahngon told ELBC that the goal is to give Liberians and foreign nationals information about happenings in Liberia on an international platform.
He thanked DSTV Global for the ongoing partnership, describing it as key to LBS’s expansion journey, and assured the public of LBS’s steadfast commitment to ensuring that LNTV is placed on DSTV.
At the same time, the LBS says it is prepared to provide extensive coverage for this year’s Independence Day celebrations.
LBS Director General Fahngon noted that a team will be dispatched to Buchanan this Wednesday, July 15, as part of preparations for the coverage.
He also disclosed that the LBS Outside Broadcast Van will arrive in Buchanan on Friday, July 24, to begin the buildup of the event.
The LBS boss wants the public to monitor the State Broadcaster and the LNTV for activities commemorating this year’s Independence Day.
Meanwhile, the Liberia Broadcasting System is expected to dedicate its sub-stations in Grand Cape Mount and Nimba Counties, as part of the entity’s ongoing expansion process.
