Times Live: Porn TV's prime-time ban upheld by court... Times Live reports "South African porn-lovers have been hit below the belt now that broadcaster StarSat has lost its licence to air raunchy television programmes during prime time."
Icasa had previously ruled that the channels would have viewing restrictions that would include an age-verification mechanism such as a secure pin code.
"Yesterday the Cape Town High Court refused StarSat leave to appeal an earlier judgment that revoked its licence to air porn on three channels after 2000," reports Times Live.
