there were three things that caused the decline of racing - CASINOS, The Equine flu outbreak in the then TVL and the removal of Racing results and commentaries on the Radio and SABC(Newspapers not running copy were also a factor) Out of sight out of mind - If this is true then the curtain call may be upon us unless a radical new approach can be found.

if this is indeed the case...I hope it bites MultiChoices arse too....

you see what happens when you drive Ken Rutherford out

I doubt it - Most people I know that have a full bouquet don't ever use 239 and the amount of advertising shown could never cover expenses - How many outside adverts barring Interbet and Bettingworld are ever flighted? Have Tekkietown or Vodacom or other non-industry sponsors ever flighted adverts on that channel except when their race appears? Is VW taking adverts between races now that a trio of Polo's are being given away?

Absolutely agree.
I miss those commentaries on East Coast Radio (Port Natal)

I have a simple question: why would Multi Choice give a PAYING customer like TT notice??? Maybe they were told to give em notice

Gee guys : If TT is all you watched then you could have got the 239 channel with TLC and a few kiddies channels for 99.00 per month or just TT and TLC for 49.00

Maybe the contract was up? and they increased and TT refused? just guessing

plus,there are thousands of digital channels that TT could pay to use

hibs, scotia, no official media release or is that still coming...??

I agree, but sometimes the most unlikely straw breaks the camels back....What do we really get for our R700...? just got to psyche myself up to say fark you to them...and join the Madji in some physical activities...instead of becoming a pharmocological (if this word does not exist, I'm patenting it...) test-tube...

Sounds good to me Sibaya here I come Dstv will not be getting my money from next month
