TopTV says the struggling South African pay-TV operator is doing everything it can to find replacement channels in the place of Silver, Star and Showtime which was yanked from the operator's line-up at the start of 2013.
Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) which also runs channels such as TCM, Boomerang, Cartoon Network and CNN International on MultiChoice's DStv, pulled Silver, Showtime and Star on 31 December 2012 from On Digital Media's TopTV and refused to give the South African TV industry or TopTV subscribers a reason or any explanation.
TopTV CEO Eddie Mbalo tells me that "TopTV is doing everything we can to replace the channels and yes, we are talking to other possible suppliers".
