Telekom 'responded to' the pro-regime Niš TV, broadcasting them without permission

August 5, 2025

For the past three months, Niš TV, the newest television station in the Serbian media landscape, has been broadcasting on Telekom's cable platforms, but "illegally," meaning without the permission of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media. Telekom stated that they have temporarily "accommodated" the aforementioned channel, which has been running dirty campaigns against regime critics in a tabloid manner and violating all possible journalistic standards since its inception. This television station is predominantly owned by Alo Media System, which publishes the pro-regime tabloid Alo. The launch of Niš TV comes after local TV Belami, previously favorable to the SNS authorities, provided more media space for the opposition and protests, after which Telekom abruptly removed it from its cable offering, leaving it without funding from the local budget. Vidosav Radomirović, the owner of Belami, believes that he has angered the authorities and that they want to destroy him. However, he does not agree that Belami was ever a regime media outlet and refers to Niš TV as the "Ćaci television."
