Super Channel files for bankruptcy protection


June 18, 2009 Super Channel, Canada's upstart national pay TV network, has filed for bankruptcy protection. The privately owned Edmonton-based channel, which was launched in October 2007 by Allarco Entertainment, plans to continue in business after it filed on Wednesday for protection from creditors in an Alberta court under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act. Both TMN and Movie Central have longtime output deals with HBO, Showtime and the major Hollywood studios, and last year launched HBO Canada to bolster their subscriber appeal.
