What happens in 7 days time

Isn't the 26th March a significant date with Ch 239.
If so any news

I got a mail for Betxchange a few minutes ago saying Racing will no longer be broadcast on 239 on 27th and posting the link to TAB Gold site

I have not been watching 239 myself so I have no idea what Phum are advising their clients

The signal goes out if the lights don't...you will get to watch a black screen possibly with a message that channel has been discontinued or no longer available or etc...

We all go to the casino

I know that I may be one of the elder members using this Forum but I was under the impression that an alternative was being sourced?

Welcome to ICASA
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) is the regulator for the South African communications, broadcasting and postal services sector. ICASA was established by an Act of statute, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa Act of 2000, as Amended.

ICASA's mandate is spelled out in the Electronic Communications Act for the licensing and regulation of electronic communications and broadcasting services, and by the Postal Services Act for the regulation of the postal sector.

Enabling legislation also empowers ICASA to monitor licensee compliance with license terms and conditions, develop regulations for the three sectors, plan and manage the radio frequency spectrum as well as protect consumers of these services.

Bob we have always been overly regulated in this regard with Radio stations such as 702 waiting decades to get an FM frequency - That's why I keep referring(and get NO ANSWER) about the legalities of a home decoder without ICASA approval

I AM STUNNED THAT PHUMELELA WOULD PUT THE WHOLE INDUSTRY AT RISK FOR 26 MILLION PER ANNUM IN EXTRA FEES FROM THE BOOKIES.

MAKES NO SENSE FOR SUCH A BIG BUSINESS
