Hey all,

Could we keep this thread clean and not allow for comments other than facts relating to the heading as written by Analoguesat?

It's very annoying reading through remarks that are irrelevant to the thread... Maybe a new poll to see if the thread should only be open to the sat master himself (AS)???

AS: Please delete my post if so needed...

Cheers

Wine TV (epg 264) has dropped onto coloured bars with Amrita on it. Is this the next channel closure due to the economic downturn or are they having technical problems??

There are also rumours starting to circulate that at least one "reasonably large broadcaster" is close to closing.

No more details available - I dont know who it is either so dont ask, and this thread is not the place to discuss it.

Raaj Radio ceased off 0141 yesterday afternoon. AT the moment the exact reason is not know, but things arent looking too good for them according to this from Biz Asia:

A source at the station's uplinking party confirmed the station was taken off air for reasons they could not disclose due to confidentiality. The source also could not comment on when and if the station would return.
