" As of today Media Niugini goes back to Fiji TV. PNG Media market is going through a tough competition. There are more players. Pay TV there are more players and free TV there are more players so definitely there is a competitive market compared to Fiji."

Earlier this year, Fiji TV signed a Sale and Purchase agreement with Telekom PNG to divest its 100 percent stake in Media Niugini Limited.
