Slavi Trifonov, leader of the ITN party, announced that TV channel 7/8 is closing after seven years of broadcasting. Trifonov stated the closure is due to a cartel controlling the television advertising market in Bulgaria. He alleged that two major private national television networks restrict advertising inventory to themselves, preventing smaller broadcasters from competing and violating competition rules.
