According to RudeTV's Marketing Director, Chandie Foster, the company has tentative plans to re-launch in the near future.
"Due to the current financial climate, we, not unlike many other companies, are looking for ways to trim our budget while still continuing to provide quality programming to our loyal RudeTV fan communit," Foster said. "Unfortunately, at this time that plan must include temporarily ceasing studio operations."
"We are looking forward to developing a new format of the site to provide the community and the performers an exciting new direction that we will be moving towards in the future," Foster added.
Foster said that RudeTV.com will remain online and all archived shows will still be available for viewing, but details on the re-launch date were not immediately available.
"All affiliate links for RudeTV.com will redirect to our flagship website Rude.com and no affiliates will lose credit or earnings during the transition," Foster concluded.
