LBN one year since that fateful day......

On 15th June 2007, LBN celebrated the first year anniversary of being sealed by the authorities over what was termed as licensing issues. This incident happened a few days after they launched their digital service. During the period of over 6 months that company was sealed the subscribers, employees and management were affected adversely. The company commenced transmissions again from January 2007 and have become the first pay television network in Sri Lanka to carry channels such as HBO Hits and HBO Family. At moment they are looking at transmitting the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and Discovery Travel and Living over their network.

The period between June 2006 to January 2007 proved to be very testing for the company and they were able to resume transmissions under the original management headed by Mr. Shirantha Herath. A very notable feature during this time were the several legal battles that were being fought by LBN.

We believe that the time period is something that LBN Customers, Employees and Management will not forget. We wish LBN all the best as they strive and give their best to improve their services.

We hope that LBN subscribers will make more use of this blog in order to share their views about the service provided by LBN.
