In 2022, theDove TV received another NRB Low Power Television Station of the Year.
YouTube removal, then reinstatement On March 22, 2021, theDove TV was removed from and banned permanently by YouTube. This was as result of claims that theDove was repeatedly violating their "COVID-19 misinformation and presidential election integrity policies" that were added to its "community standards" around the time of the 2020 United States presidential election.
A spokesperson for YouTube stated, "Any channel that violates these policies will receive a strike, which temporarily restricts uploading or live-streaming. Channels that receive three strikes in the same 90-day period will be permanently removed from YouTube. If a channel owner feels the strike was made in error, they can appeal the decision." The appeal was made, but denied by YouTube. A claim of ownership to the videos was also made, but it, too, was denied.
However, nearly four years later in October 2024, theDove TV (along with several other channels that were taken down and removed for similar "violations") was reinstated by YouTube.Official YouTube channel
