Resumen de Bulgaria: : Another private special-interest channel withdrawn from digital transmission
Following the early termination of the digital broadcasting licences of two television channels - bTV Lady+1 and RING.BG+1 - in May 2014 (see IRIS 2014-6/8), the Council for Electronic Media received a similar request to cancel the licence of another channel in September. The two media services withdrawn earlier in the year were both provided by the bTV Media Group and are now only available via cable and satellite. The third channel that now wants to stop broadcasting digitally, Diema Family+1, is owned by Bulgaria�s second largest TV group, the Nova Broadcasting Group. Following the early termination of this licence, the Nova Broadcasting Group, like its competitor, the bTV Media Group, will only transmit one digital channel, i.e. its main channel, Nova TV.
