The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa has ordered StarSat to stop broadcasting after failing to renew its licence on time

Pay-TV broadcaster On Digital Media, owner of TopTV, has set out a case in which it has argued that it should be allowed to broadcast X-rated content.

TopTV is set for a shake-up at the top, as the CEO of parent company On-Digital Media, Vino Govender, looks set to leave the broadcaster.

TopTV may not broadcast pornography channels without the permission of Icasa, the South Gauteng High Court has ruled.

On Digital Media threw its hat into the subscription-broadcasting ring on Thursday with the announcement of Top TV, its new product offering.

Pay-TV newcomer On Digital Media announced that it has received its broadcast licence, paving the way to go on air in the second half of 2009.
