In Pictures: Row over Maestro TV

Maestro TV’s broadcasting was suspended for several hours in the morning of November 30 after a conflict between the TV station’s owners and founder of its managing firm Erosi Kitsmarishvili, who claims that has an authority to take control over the TV station and sack top management. Co-owner of the station Mamuka Glonti accused Kitsmarishvili of an attempt to seize the station and suggested that the authorities were behind the attempt. Broadcasting resumed by the noon with Glonti and some journalist locking themselves inside the station’s control room, broadcasting live about the developments surrounding the station.
