BREAKING. On Digital Media on porn: No adult TV content for TopTV.


On Digital Media (ODM) that unveiled its TopTV channel bouquet earlier today considered the possibility of pornographic and adult TV channels, but opted not to carry it.

I asked On Digital Media whether pornography or so-called ''adult'' TV channels were ever an option or have ever been considered for TopTV.

''Of course it was a consideration,'' says Elouise Kelly, ODM chief marketing officer. ''We know that in other markets in the world where you have pay TV, it is actually quite a driver of the subscriber base, along with news and movies and sport. We debated it and ultimately we made the decision that it would not be good for our platform and we decided not to go with it.''
