The SABC has not paid its full TV and radio signal bill since 2020

Why 2020? I would have thought that was the best time to push the government propaganda - when everyone is locked indoors, during lockdown.
Programming and thus profits should have skyrocketed.

Instead they seem to be in a death spiral.

Were they too busy watching Tiger King?

Just shut it down already.
 
Oh, the irony.

You know the looting is in full swing, when the ANC isn't paying the ANC for what it uses. Bring 'CLOUDY' back, he killed billions in advertising with one statement... go on get him to say something else.
 
Sentech can save money by just shutting off SABC1,2 and leave SABC3 running, saving on the power bill, and making sure SABC will pay the outstanding within a week, even if the delay is because they have to take money from the pension fund, which they already do, not pay tax to SARS, which they already do, and not refund any advertisers for non played ads. A big saving, and if they want to they can also auction off those frequency allocations as well, they will go fast. They can keep the digital multiplex running, because nobody watches that anyway, and it is so much lower power anyway, 10% of the lowest power analogue transmitter in any case, with much better coverage. 5kW covers the same area as the 3 60kW analogue transmitters do in Durban, and most of the way to PMB as well.
