The Noubaiese channel is unrelated. Started in 1996 under SBS ownership, it emulated its channels in Nordesia and Alliancia. However by 2001 the channel was sold to local investors and became a Noubaiese Le Huit. In 2016 it opened to foreign (oriental mostly) capital again, including Mediacorp and the Saikyo Broadcasting System. Unfortunately the channel fell hostage to the Oriental Democratic Party. In the summer of 2019, shareholders were negotiating a sell of the holdings to Mediaset. These were publicly revealed on September 16, after the ODP was declared illegal. Now they want to make it into a Noubaiese Canale 5 rather than an old Télécinq.
