There is no upside when a media entity is shuttered,especially one that
many regarded as very useful with its output.
Feel it for contributors. Hope things work out for them with alternatives.

TVJ free to air controls the Track and Field.
Only two weeks ago, a big foreign man in the business told me that Digihel is in serious trouble in the region. FLOW was always competition and Rush has already replaced much of Sports Programming.
I could care less after what they did to WI cricket.

TVJ rightly controls the free to air Track and field coverage. Thankfully.
Cricket is dying because the kids can’t see it. Nuff nuff peeps can’t afford cable

3 years ago Sportsmax built that state of the art studio that’s the envy of all TV stations enuh.

Never good when a media house goes under, and it's one less outlet available to a society to freely express itself.

Lance, Leighton, and Ricardo, I wish you the very best in finding green pastures.

Sorry to hear. Sportsmaz Zone has good content.
Ricardo is excellent, as was George who he replaced.
