Cablecom must keep U1 TV on the analog network for the time being

 Cablecom may not immediately remove U1 TV from its analog offering. This was decided by the Federal Supreme Court on Thursday in a super-provisional ruling. The cable network operator must continue to broadcast the channel until at least January 7. Cablecom spokesperson Hanspeter Nehmer confirmed a corresponding announcement by the television broadcaster on Thursday evening at the request of SDA. Cablecom will, of course, respect this decision - after which it will look further. The spokesperson did not wish to comment on the interim decision.
After Bakom announced on Wednesday that Cablecom would be allowed to remove U1 TV from its analog offering, the network operator wanted to broadcast the channel digitally only on Friday (see
). It must now wait and see. U1 TV has the opportunity to appeal the decision of OFCOM to the Federal Administrative Court within 30 days.
