(Photo: Somchai Poomlard)JKN18, the digital television channel owned by fugitive entrepreneur Jakkaphong “Anne” Jakrajutatip, will cease broadcasting on Jan 26, the latest casualty in the collapse of her JKN Global Group empire. The digital TV channel on Tuesday posted a message announcing the closure and thanking viewers for their support. The Bangkok South Kwaeng Court on Dec 26 sentenced Jakkaphong to two years in prison without suspension after finding her guilty of fraud. Though the TV channel’s operating licence is valid until 2029, the premature closure of JKN18 underscores the failure of all related parties to manage liquidity as planned.
