Captain's Log: HERO Anime Channel

ADVERTISEMENTS

Captain's Log Supplemental Stardate -318810.44

Anyone remember the time when everyone wanted Destiny Cable as their CATV provider? That was the time when the Star TV pulled their channels off the Lopez owned cable televisions just in time when the NBA Finals was about to start. That was also the time when Cable Internet subscribers, including me, started suffering super slow browsing and almost everyday signal interruptions.

2 years ago, Star TV and the Lopezes(Owners of SKY and HOME Cable) entered into some sort of agreement on the exclusive carriage of its major Star Channels. The Lopezes also entered into some sort of agreement with AXN Channel. And soon, Destiny started to loose channels and subscribers because of this agreement. Cable Internet was at its peak again since a lot of people left Destiny. I'm missing my favorite CATV channel Star Mandarin Movies eversince.

Now Creative Programs Inc., a subsidiary of ABS-CBN, launches another exclusive channel --- HERO. The first ever Anime channel on the Philippines. HERO will probably not make it on Destiny since it's owned by those greedy Lopezes.

Here's the channels that have been missing on Destiny because of that stupid contracts: Star World, Star Movies, National Geographic, ESPN, Star Sports, ABS-CBN News Channel, Animax and AXN- a channel owned by Sony. A wierd scenario since Destiny is owned by the Solid Group, which is the owns the exclusive Sony Service Centers in the Philippines.

Oh well. Guess I just have to settle with this poster.
