More entertainment
choices await Filipino families as ABS-CBN TVplus, the country’s pioneering
digital terrestrial television (DTT), launches five new channels in Metro
Manila, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, and Metro Cebu on Monday, July 30.
Adding to its
current channel line-up are two new exclusive channels—Asianovela Channel and
Movie Central—plus MYX, Jeepney TV, and O Shopping.
O Shopping, a home
TV shopping channel, will be accessible permanently free of charge, while the
other four new channels will be on free trial until Dec 31, 2018.
“We believe that
every Filipino should be given the opportunity to enjoy quality content at
home. Our five new exclusive channels not only empower families, but also ring
true to our core mission to deliver more quality and exciting choices to our
Kapamilyas,” Chinky Alcedo, head of ABS-CBN digital terrestrial television
said.
Asianovela Channel
is the first and only channel on digital free TV that will feature classic and
blockbuster Asian dramas and movies, all dubbed in Filipino and uncut.
Viewers can expect
award-winning and popular TV series such as “Goblin,” “Love in the Moonlight,”
“Sensory Couple,” and more to hit the ‘mahiwagang black box’ soon.
Meanwhile, Movie
Central, the first all-English movie channel of ABS-CBN on TVplus, will give
families a daily dose of Hollywood blockbusters in their original language and
in various genres to give every member of the family choices.
From cable
television, the 24/7 Jeepney TV comes to ABS-CBN TVplus to give families a
chance to go down memory lane as it airs a rich collection of classic and
well-loved Kapamilya shows. It will also give them daily catch-up viewing of same-day
episodes of “Magandang Buhay,” “It’s Showtime,” and “ASAP.”
Music-loving Kapamilyas can tune in to
MYX, the number one music channel in the country initially exclusive on cable,
with its mix of OPM and international music videos airing 24/7.
Shopping from their very own
homes is now possible for TVplus families with O Shopping, one of the top home
TV shopping networks in Asia that features an array of products including
electronics, health, travel, and more.
These new channels
give families value for money because, for the price of only
P1499, they can already enjoy more quality content without the monthly fee.
Alcedo hopes that
the new exclusive channels will further entice more Filipinos to make the big
switch to digital TV as the government mandated 2023 deadline for the country
to migrate to digital looms closer. A total of 5.5 million ABS-CBN TVplus boxes
are now in Filipino homes nationwide and continues to grow.
“Hopefully more
Filipinos will begin to appreciate the life-changing benefits of DTT with our
new offerings. We’ll do the best we can to continue to lead DTT penetration in
the country,” she added.
Meanwhile, other
areas in the rest of Luzon and VisMin can look forward to enjoying the new
channels, as ABS-CBN TVplus will roll out these new channels to the rest of DTT
coverage areas soon.
ABS-CBN TVplus has
enabled Filipino households to enjoy the perks of DTT with over half of Metro
Manila homes watching television on digital broadcast, according to surveys by
Pulse Asia (51%) and SWS (56%) in March. It is also one of the digital properties
of ABS-CBN as the network transitions into an agile digital company.
Since 2015, ABS-CBN TVplus has transformed the way Filipinos watch television as it
delivers clear picture and crisp sound without any monthly and installation
fee, supporting the government’s mandate for the full shift from analog to DTT
by 2023.
ABS-CBN TVplus
signal coverage areas include Metro Manila, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan,
Rizal, Laguna, Pampanga, Tarlac, Benguet, Cavite, Metro Cebu, Cagayan De Oro,
Iloilo, Bacolod, and Davao.
