Why StarSat Doesn't Get Much Attention These Days?

During the week, it was reported that StarTimes had launched three new entertainment channels, CBS Justice, Kartoon Channel and FilmBox Action with details over its expansion to South Africa remaining as quite a mystery for its audience.

As it is, this is the only known outlet to share this news I mean the channels were up and running close to the end of December but no one literally no one thought of doing something for the platform I mean I can't really blame them as there's a lot to the story.

Firstly, StarSat doesn't respond to the media on any upcoming attractions for the platform and sure they are plenty of outlets just like them that don't engage with the media and try to build up a level of trust with consumers.

StarSat:
- CBS Justice to launch on StarSat
- FilmBox Action and Kartoon Channel to launch on StarSat
The Smithsonian Channel closing down in the UK

But matters only escalated when they removed channels like Love Nature, Investigation Discovery, Real Time, Fine Living, Discovery Family, Discovery Science, DreamWorks, OnseTV, TLNovelas, KISS, SA Music, Soul Music and the list goes on and on.

StarSat promised to replace some of these channels while as sourcing out more entertainment with most of it failing to materialize. Worst of all, some of these channels only existed for about a year or two.

When reports of a new attraction comes to the platform. Most sites aren't that hyped about it as most are just looking thinking that within a year or two these channels will cease to exist and it's not only newbies that are being victimised even some of their older channels like OnseTV.

You can't blame anyone who chooses not to promote anything about StarTimes. They kept their heads high and not in a good way as they censored comments, moved slow in terms of sourcing entertainment and lied to the public about some of the matters.

I'm more shocked that this company hasn't gone bankrupt with all these closures cause it kind of seems that way as they had pending debts with several content unlike MultiChoice which has Canal+ serving as minority owner of the brand with speculation of a merger or takeover.

StarSat:
- Could StarSat pick up BYUTV?
- Could StarSat bid farewell to two more channels?
- Why fan-favourite sports channel is not on StarSat?
