Hmmm...this was scrambled until recently.

I guess they prefer to cash on advertisements rather than on subscriptions, until they have enough customers. After that it will move to dishnetwork.
Dandana tried to do the same thing, but it still FTA

I think it would be wiser for Bridges TV to remain FTA specially during the month of Ramadan. Also, advertisement revenue should more than out weight the subscripiton revenue. Since FTA is viewed by far larger audience than subscription on IA5. For example, you have more than IA5 is viewed by at least 20,000,000 people from different ethnic backgrounds. If BRIDGES TV becomes permanently scrambled, I don't think they will reach 20,000 subscribers. That is about 0.1% of the potential audiance they could potentially reach.
