Even though the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) had given out a directive for all Gossip shows to be pushed to 10pm on Monday, Spark TV went ahead and aired the Live Wire show on Wednesday, now they want all their tape recordings.
According to info we received, most gossip shows are adult-themed and had to be pushed from the prime time to between 10pm, and 5am, with effect from Wednesday 20th October, 2021.
On Thursday 21st October, UCC directed Spark TV to “immediately” suspend the Live Wire show.
Also, the Serena based TV station was reportedly asked to submit recordings of the Live Wire shows that aired between 1st September 2021 and 20th October, 2021.
