Ukraine drops DTT channels
May 9, 2016 07.30 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul
The Ukrainian DTT platform operator Zeonbud has withdrawn the channels Vintage TV and Business from its offer for non-payment of fees.
Satkurier and Mediananny reports that this is not the first time it has taken such a step against the two channels, taking them, along with another channel named Dobro TV, off the air in April 2015.
However, the operator has been warned by the regulator to consult with it before taking such steps.
It is also noted than Zeonbud has in the past reduced the fees owed by some channels, halving, for instance, those owed by Inter’s NTN, albeit after legal action.
It has also reduced the fees charged to StarLightMedia, 1+1 Media and Channel 5.
Vintage TV and Business can still be received via DTH as unencrypted services on Astra 4A at 4.8 degrees East.
