CENTENNIAL, CO. November 11, 2013 – International Media Distribution (IMD) just added to the list of operators willing to open the signal for The Filipino Channel (TFC) in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan. During relief efforts of one of the world’s biggest storms, TFC has been providing special coverage on the ground in the Philippines. The following operators have agreed to allow digital customers to access TFC without a subscription through November 15th:
* Astound Broadband

Typhoon Haiyan was more than three times as powerful as Hurricane Katrina, which hit the U.S. eight years ago.
TFC is the #1 Filipino network in the world and available in the United States as a premium channel from coast-to-coast.
“We at TFC are most thankful to IMD and our partner operators for their timely collaborative efforts to reach as many viewers as possible, update them on Typhoon Haiyan via TFC’s ongoing special coverage, and even inform people how to help,” said ABS-CBN Global Head of Carriage & North America Regional Marketing Director Jun Del Rosario.
“We are very appreciative of our affiliates who are stepping forward in this time of extreme need,” said Shelly Kurtz, Executive Director, Affiliate Sales & Marketing,
International Media Distribution. “We expect even more announcements of operator assistance in the days to come.”
