History
Dimtsi Weyane was founded as a radio station in 1980 by the Tigray People's Liberation Front during its struggle against the communist Derg regime. Dimtsi Weyane started broadcasting in 2018 on Eutelsat and on an Ethiopian state-owned free-to-air (FTA) TV platform frequency hosted on SES's NSS-12 satellite at 57 degrees East called Ethiosat.
Controversy
Tigray Regional State Television and Dimtsi Weyane are no longer broadcasting, according to a report by DW Amharic service which cited its Addis Ababa. The Federal Attorney-General launched an investigation on three broadcasters in connection with alleged roles in inciting ethnic violence in Ethiopia. The result of the investigation on Oromia Media Network (OMN), Asrat Television and Dimtsi Woyane is not announced to the public. Tigray region authorities have not confirmed the news and the Federal government have not issued a statement regarding why the two channels were taken off the air.[2]
