TV1 sincerely apologizes for any pain and discomfort inadvertently caused by SISDAC’s religious sermons broadcast on television, TV1.

We have repeatedly raised our concerns with the church leaders. We have discontinued the broadcasts of the controversial sermons as from yesterday evening. SISDAC however, as a paying customer can still broadcast sermons purely on the word of God and without reference to any other church or beliefs.

It is not the intention of TV1 to discredit any person or any church nor to cause divisions amongst religious organizations in Samoa.

We take pride in providing equal access to broadcasting services to all members of our community.

Censorship of church ministers’ sermons has never been seen as necessary.

We count on the integrity and noble judgments of Church Leaders and all Servants of God when it comes to matters of spiritual teachings.

As a consequent, we will now have to approve all religious sermons before broadcast. The views expressed by SISDAC are not necessarily those of TV1.

Again, our most sincere apologies.
