The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which operates BYU TV, decided to not utilise the recently launched controversial digital platform despite a last minute intervention by Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, the Samoa Observer reports.
The church's trust said after an exhaustive study, they had determined that it was not feasible for them.
The regulator had issued a Court Order requiring television stations to move to the digital platform by Friday or face losing their broadcast licence.
