Controversy surrounding the end of Semba's role
The end of Semba's production and consulting arrangements led to competing public claims about ownership, service contracts, equipment, payments, and the quality of the channel's replacement output. The transition also drew criticism over cancelled programmes and the later re-engagement of former talent.

Dispute over reduced broadcast hours and alleged non-payment
TPA 2's reduction from 24-hour broadcasting to approximately 12 hours triggered criticism.
