Imedi TV management will make ?a special statement? at 8 pm local time, an Imedi news presenter announced on the 6 o?clock news.
?We are now working in emergency conditions? top Imedi TV management will make a statement at 8pm,? the newscaster said. The news bulletin then ended abruptly, without any other news coverage.
Earlier on December 26 six journalists from Imedi TV?s popular weekly program Droeba said they were quitting the station following allegations that presidential candidate and co-owner of the station Badri Patarkatsishvili was involved in a coup plot.
Bidzina Baratashvili, managing director of Imedi TV, and Giorgi Targamadze, head of Imedi TV?s political programs, are expected to make a statement.
