As IPTV services start to get traction in Australia SelectTV the WIN TV owned subscription TV service has been placed into administration.
the WIN-owned pay TV operator, has entered voluntary administration four years after a $47 million takeover of the company.
The TV network launched in 2005 as a low-cost pay TV service for Greek, Italian and Spanish speaking communities has struggled to build awareness for their services as well as subscribers.
At its peak, the service that also delivered several English speaking programs had 45,000 subscribers.
In late 2010, the English, Spanish and Italian subscriber audiences were sold off, with English subscribers going to Foxtel, Italian to World Media International and Spanish to UBI World TV.
The channel continued its Greek broadcasing until administrators acting for accountants Grant Thornton ceased all operations last week.
WIN television is Australia’s largest regional broadcaster, and is a key piece in the media portfolio of owner Bruce Gordon.
