José Antonio Sánchez, the new president of Spanish public-service broadcaster TVE, has halted a plan to close sports channel Teledeporte at the end of this year.
The cost-cutting measures proposed by former company president Leopoldo González-Echenique will not be implemented by Sánchez, who is likely to propose other solutions, according to news channel ABC.
The report also suggested that the channel might return to an advertising-based approach, which was barred in 2010.
In July, TVE said that it would take Teledeporte off digital-terrestrial television and only offer it as an online channel.
