Dahlia TV enters liquidationThe board of Dahlia TV has approved plans to appoint a liquidator to the troubled Italian DTT pay platform. In a statement the company said it hoped a plan could be developed that would lead to a quick resolution. Telecom Italia Media (TI Media), which maintained a minority shareholding after it sold its former terrestrial business unit to the Swedish Airplus TV in 2008, said separately it was uncertain as to what would happen to the 150 staff employed by the company. TI Media said that the full effects on TI Media itself would only be likely to emerge after the liquidation process. It is thought that the influential Swedish Wallenberg family had decided not to invest further in the venture.
The former La7 Cartapiù had around 800,000 registered users, of which it is thought around 250,000 cards remained active
