hellasafrica,

The Alpha channel is produced by Alpha for UBI. It is not produced or altered by UBI. It is simply picked up from Europe and retransmitted to Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. UBI doesn't have any say in the schedule or changes to the schedule.

RIK Sat was always a Free To Air channel and never tied to the subscription fee. RIK Sat and UBI's distribution agreement came to an end and hence RIK Sat became no longer available Free To Air or encrypted in your region.

As mentioned by Lazer, Sigma ceased to transmit an international channel in March/April 2008 and as such is no longer available outside of Cyprus.

The costs associated with broadcasting over Asia & Africa have increased over the years. We had to tweak the line-up (such as the removal of 4E) in order to maintain the subscription fee at an affordable level. The Arabic line-up also had a major reshuffle and the Turkish subscription service was removed.

There is no information regarding Ant1 or Skai Television being shown in your region or on any UBI platform.

If you have any further questions regarding the UBI World TV Service in Afirca kindly email them to africa@ubiworldtv.com

Liski
