Finland’s URHOtv goes off air

Finnish sports channel URHOtv will cease broadcasting from tomorrow after failing to put its finances on a viable footing.

The channel first revealed that it was in financial difficulty last autumn. With no solution in site, URHOtv cancelled all planned forward production and said it would suspend its signal as of the beginning of April.

The channel’s backers said they would continue to look for ways to continue to operate.

URHO Play, the company’s online offering, will also be suspended.
