Hej
I dagens The Irraawaddy spekulerar man i att Sondhi Limthongkul är ruinerad, och att han inte har betalat för sina sändningar dom senaste sex månaderna och att skulden för detta nu är uppe i 400 000 USD.

Thai publisher Sondhi Limthongkul, who led the People’s Alliance for Democracy—the so-called Yellow Shirts—in years of virulent and sometimes violent attempts to deny ousted Premier Thaksin Shinawatra a role in Thailand’s government, appears to be in serious financial trouble.
Prachatai, the independent news website in Bangkok, reported Wednesday that ASTV, Sondhi’s satellite television station, had gone off the air Monday after a Dutch satellite operating company refused to grant any more credit. ASTV is six months behind in payments with outstanding debts of US$400,000, the website reported.
“I can’t shoulder the burden any longer,” Prachatai quoted Sondhi as saying. “Because I have nothing. My back is broken. I said I would keep ASTV going until I drop. And that day has come.”
