Last month I told you Current TV will be closing down on 11 March with the movie Shed Your Tears and Walk Away.
TopTV just issued a short statement saying that TopTV is indeed losing Current TV on 11 March and that TopTV is working on a replacement channel. TopTV says Current TV will ''cease operations on 11 March 2012'' and that ''the channel will thus no longer be available as part of the TopTV bouquet''.
TopTV says its currently negotiating a replacement third party channel and says the loss of Current TV is ''beyond its control''.
''The company's content team has identified a suitable replacement channel. Once it has concluded the necessary negotiations and obtained authorisation from the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) an announcement in this regard will be made.''
