Super 5 Media, owned by Shenzhen Media SA and controlled by Imbani Media, was granted a pay TV license by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) more than 3 years ago in August 2008. On Digital Media (ODM) has since started the TopTV subscription television service in South Africa.
In the Government Gazette of 28 December 2011 Icasa is inviting comment on Super 5 Media's umpteenth license extension request. Super 5 Media is applying for yet another 6 month extension of its pay TV license to start a commercial subscription television broadcasting service.
South Africa's TV industry and other interested parties have until 28 January to comment on Super 5 Media's request for another license extension after which Icasa will make a decision.
