TopTV has recently been informed by Turner Broadcasting that the three channels it supplies to the pay-TV operator will be discontinued as from midnight on 31 December 2012.<\/p>\n
The supplier of the three affected channels, Showtime, Silver and Star!, has taken the decision to terminate the African distribution of its channels for operational reasons, and this decision is thus beyond the control of TopTV.<\/p>\n
Ian Woodrow, VP: Channels of TopTV, said \u201cAlthough this comes at a challenging time in the company\u2019s development, with a business rescue process currently underway, TopTV is confident that it will be able to secure alternative channels early in 2013. In the interim, and until these replacements are found, we will endeavour to secure additional channels and programming that will be of interest to our subscribers.\u201d<\/p>\n
“TopTV is grateful for the continued support of its loyal subscribers during this period, and would like to reassure them that the company is working hard on a renewed product plan for the New Year,” said Woodrow.<\/p>\n
