It’s been a rough ride for TopTV the last few months. The alternative pay TV provider has been adamant in trying to provide a full time porn channel on its network. This has faced monumental opposition, and their CEO has now been let go.
Vino Govender, the now ex-CEO of TopTV, was removed from office after pressure was placed on the board of On Digital Media, TopTV’s umbrella company. Nervous investors are worried about the direction that the company is taking, as well as its selection of media content. Asked about the move, industry expert Janine Lazarus said:
It will now be very difficult for the public to divorce the brand from the debate on pornography, and – even worse – the fracas surrounding getting the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa’s (Icasa) stamp of approval. What is needed now is some serious rethinking and strategising – that is if it isn’t too late.
TopTV, at it’s last count, had about 300 000 subscribers. Current numbers are uncertain after calls to boycott the channel for wanting a dedicated porn channel.
