Sounds like someone bringing a local rule from their previous location to TV. The left lane has no priority. Occupying the left lane only means that they can proceed straight, go 3/4 around to accomplish essentially a left turn or go all the way around to accomplish a U turn. Right lane can only make a right turn or go straight.
The only "priority" I can think of for the left lane is that right lane drivers should not block them from exiting at their proper exit by driving up beside them within the roundabout. Always stagger.
