General International TV Channels Thread

[RandomMe]

they don't seem to care about Kenya only South Africa and Nigeria,honestly to these companies rest of Africa is like Eastern Europe and South Africa is like Western Europe

Paramount had the guts to open an office in Nigeria at least unlike Disney and warner

But then again, this is where a conflict of interests (between local and international content) in the country arises.

The operator’s license from the rights holder has expired. As I found out, the rights have become expensive. There was a similar situation in Ukraine, where some operators also dropped these channels earlier because of their high price

Other operators will continue broadcasting Discovery and Eurosport. The distributor in Belarus - BetaTeleset, has denied a complete shutdown in the country.

Kitakarítják a kuratóriumokat, kettészedik az MTVA-t, lesz újra önálló nemzeti hírügynökség. A közmédia függetlenségét és gazdálkodását egy új testület ellenőrzi majd, amibe a pártok paritásos alapon delegálnak, a médiaszakmai szervezetek delegáltjainak mandátuma pedig hosszabb lesz.

I'm curious as to why Paramount couldn't just shut down the main MTV channel seeing as most of their shows are cancelled already.

Because they still need it for the key reality programming, both now and in the future. That's why.

Sky Deutschland changes owner? Magically TV channels come back, too? Say hi to AXN Black, a veteran (technically).
AXN White also joins the fray, and that's a new one, as Sony Entertainment Television/Sony Channel never was on Sky.

Anyways, On 24th June 2001, At Exactly 10:35pm CET, During The Live Broadcast,
A Viewer Presses The 7th Button And So La7 Was Launched Using TMC's Frequency.

However, Minutes After The Launch, The TMC Bug Becomes Transparent
And Moved To The Top Right Corner Until The TMC Bug Removed Completely On 9th September.

Here Is The Launch Video Of La7 Which Happened On 24th June 2001.

Twoja Wizja promo loop from April 1998 - due to what it turned out to be a failed merger between Wizja TV and Canal+ only a few of Wizja TV channels were ready at the time for PTK (a Polish cable operator, later UPC Poland, now part of Play). Aside from Twoja Wizja promo channel they were: Atomic TV, Fox Kids Poland, CNN International and Knowledge TV (the two former channels in Polish, the latter ones were broadcast in English):


Interesting thing about Knowledge TV (aside from it having dubbed promos on Twoja Wizja channel, in spite of the channel broadcasting in English only) is that its presence on Wizja TV package was short-lived as the channel ceased broadcasting in Europe on June 6, 1998: Knowledge TV To Cease UK Broadcast

Two massive magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes struck parts of northwestern (Yaracuy state, Trujillo state, Carabobo state and Miranda state) and central (Caracas, eastern Miranda state and La Guaira state, the most affected) Venezuela causing major disruption across television broadcasting there.

The nation's oldest commercial channel that is currently in operation (which had turned 65 this year), Venevisión had its analog (including the main channel 4 frequency in Caracas and frequencies in La Guaira and Yaracuy) and master HD feeds (the one which is available on Venevisión Play within VE as well as cable and streaming providers) suffered a massive disruption when the quake hit their studios in Colinas de los Caobos, Caracas (where it has been broadcasted since its inception in 1961), cutting to a testcard.

Meanwhile, speaking of VV, the channel was just added to TelevenMax (rebrand of Televen Stream, which was originally Televen's main streaming service), a latecomer since when it launched, the channel wasn't available. Speaking of Televen, IDK if their analog (main channel 11 in Caracas (stationed within their studios in Sucre, Miranda state) and frequencies in Yaracuy and La Guaira) and master HD feed (which is available via TelevenMax for free within VE) were affected.


The big two state channels: VTV (which had their studios in Leoncio Martinez, also in Sucre, Miranda affected by the quake but their main analog (channel 8 in Caracas) and digital feeds remained unchanged) and TVES (had their schedule suspended to relay VTV) are covering nonstop about the quake alongside TeleSUR (both the main feed and the English feed).
