Mangalore, May 28: Zee Turner Limited, a joint company for distribution of Zee Telefilms and Turner International Channel, has decided to deactivate its bouquets of 26 channels on OCN network.

The company stated that despite repeated requests with OCN network, the largest cable operator in the city, the latter has been avoiding signing the subscription agreement that expired in January 2006.

The OCN Network also has defaulted in its payments. For the last seven months, Zee Turner has left no stone unturned to negotiate the issue with OCN so as to find a final settlement.

According to Zee Turner chief executive officer Arun Poddar, "It has been our constant endeavour to provide best entertainment and services to our viewers. In case Zee Turner undertakes a switch off activity, channels including Zee Cinema, Zee TV, Zee studio, HBO, Cartoon network, POGO, CNN, CNBC and others will be missing from television sets in Mangalore.
