ELTA Sports to Pull Eight Channels from Hami Video's 'Sports Zone' on Nov. 1
Taiwanese sports broadcaster ELTA (愛爾達) announced on October 1, 2026 (Thursday) via its official Instagram account elta_sports that eight of its sports channels will stop broadcasting on Hami Video's "Sports Zone" (運動館) streaming service starting November 1, 2026 (Sunday). The same notice states that ELTA Sports 1 will also exit Hami Video's "TV Sports Zone" (電視運動館) service on the same date. ELTA cited "platform partnership and service planning adjustments" as the reason for both changes.
Which channels are affected
Eight ELTA channels will stop streaming on Hami Video's Sports Zone from November 1, 2026 (Sunday):
- ELTA Sports 1
- ELTA Sports 2
- ELTA Sports 3
- ELTA Sports 4
- ELTA Sports MAX 1
- ELTA Sports MAX 2
- ELTA Sports MAX 3
- ELTA Sports MAX 4
What the notice says
Both changes take effect on the same date, November 1, 2026 (Sunday), and both are attributed to the same stated cause: platform partnership and service planning adjustments. The Sports Zone exit covers all eight channels listed above, while the TV Sports Zone exit applies only to ELTA Sports 1.
What hasn't been announced
The notice is framed as a supplier service announcement and does not specify what, if anything, will replace these channels on Hami Video, nor whether ELTA's programming will remain available through other platforms or ELTA's own services. Viewers wanting details on alternative viewing options or subscription impacts are directed to ELTA's official accounts or website, per the notice. No further explanation of the "platform partnership" reasoning was provided.
