Office Space at ATV

ATV, Jordan’s long-waited TV station that didn’t see the light, is laying-off its 220 employees after several mysterious delays and couple of acquisitions, the station announced that it compensate the staff with approximately 1.5 million JD’s each with three months paid.

AlGhad reported that the station was granted the licenses for terrestrial and satellite broadcasting in 2004, one year later it inked a deal with the Jordanian Television to rent the infra structure of JTV 2. The station decided to go live 2 years ago, but for unknown reasons it didn’t.

Does this mean the official end of ATV? Or some sort of a restructure?

    I don’t think it’s that “unknown”, I know people who used to work there, it’s simple politics and censorship issues.. and it’s the same reason why the media city project (in the late 90’s) didn’t see the light.. it’s hopeless man.
