CTH .Are they out of buisness?

[gennisis]

A psi guy today said that CTH are finished.

Cant say that that surprises me but who will take over the football?

[ThaiPauly]

Mine's still working,

Although the rumour mill has it that True will take it back for next season

[stoneyboy]

BeIn sport have the rights here in Thailand for the next 3 years,if and whoever they choose to use to show the football that remains a secret at present,but True do currently run one BeIn channel on there pay TV service.

Others have posted that it might not be an impossibility that BeIn themselves start up a TV system and Internet service but that is a whole different ballgame and remains to be seen.

Also there are currently many changes with CTH and GMM with their Pay TV services due to a merger some months back it is as usual a typical mess.

[SantiSuk]

Thailand has a procedure for taking over troubled businesses similar to Administration in the UK and Chapter 11 in the US.

Some accounting firm or accounting/law firm combo will probably end up taking over the management to see whether there is anything to be done or how to run it down. Possibly even my ex-firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers! Usually takes a few months just to investigate and meanwhile the business is run on. Should see things thru to the end of the season.

The Premier League may however have put some kind of pre-emption clause in the broadcast rights contract. If it is taken back then the house of cards will collapse. Discussions on that would be the first target of any incoming temporary administrative function.

They've got sod all worth rescuing come May anyway.

[smokie36]

Their bid was stupid in the first place...due diligence my Arse.

[alant]

I was under the impression that the Premiership contract was for 3 seasons. That being the case it there not 1 more to go?

I signed up to CTH on that basis for 3 years...

[JaiMaai]

Yes, the bid was for three seasons. This current season is the third.

[alfieconn]

Yes, the bid was for three seasons. This current season is the third.

I signed for up for their promotion package back in June 2013, pay for 1 year get 2 years's free

The issue seems to be that CTH and PSI are involved in some sort of contractual dispute. PSI are losing a lot of other English language programmes in the next couple of months.

As I understand it CTH did not reimburse PSI for services rendered, which comes as no surprise. CTH has been cat shit from the beginning and never let up.

Your above response actually applies to all Pay TV services,satellite or cable here in Thailand,like many things they are light years behind.

Time for me to have a closer look at ExPatTV.

For EPL coverage your better off with I Like HD if you have adequate internet speeds which are relatively low any way.

For 450 baht a month I have all the arena channels from CTH and all the BT sport and sky sports channels it's been excellent,as I like cricket and a whole host of other sports.

From what I've seen the cable operators collecting money from customers haven't been passing it on to CTH, and their collections department has only just realised it.

An inexhaustible supply of thieves and rapscallions.

[meatboy]

oh well its time to get intouch with [cant mention] and see if they can get a response from the NATIONAL BROADCASTING TELECOMMUNICATIONS TH.

AND THEIR CONSUMER PROTECTION DEPT.

[wilai]

Advance Warning!

Rumours surfacing that CTH and GMM have 'fallen out'. This might affect this weekend's games if you are watching CTH via Android boxes or GMM (apart from Stadium 6). Astro SS, Sky and BT remain unaffected.

[MrMuddle]

Out of the two, I prefer CTH, which probably shows how much I hate Truevisions - the staff at their Phetchabun shop were really unhelpful, and rude to my wife, last time we dealt with them. I really hope they don't get the Premier league again, especially as the mighty Boro look to be heading for the big time next season.

I believe from memory MrMuddle has a blue CTH satellite dish and CTH box as I put him on to a shop up here in Phetchabun some 2 years back,so he should be ok.
