Is Tarbs on it's way out?

Globecast now has the exclusive broadcast rights for Pink Plus for North America. Tarbs has little chance of survival without Pink, no balkan channel package is complete without it. In Australia they offer Pink Plus, RTS SAT, BK TV, MK TV and a few american channels for $34.95 US. Here in the USA they have already lost Pink Plus and BK TV (Braca Karic) to the mighty Globecast. Tarbs is in a major financial crisis. Tarbs used to operate on four transponders with 52 channels, now they can only afford to operate on one lonely transponder. Tarbs must have spent millions on operating these channels for free to air for 18 months now. They also are having big problems operating their low profit Asia-Pacific service which has been off the air for a few months now. On top of all of that Globecast has now started it's own service Globecast Australia to compete with TARBS for the Australia-Asia market. I don't believe Tarbs when they say they will be adding new channels unless they plan on becoming a non- profit company.
