ABS-CBN has just ushered a new era in digital TV wherein viewers can enjoy a better viewing experience – thanks to clearer picture and better sound via digital transceivers.
Aptly called the ABS-CBN TVplus, this digital service will be offered alongside the network’s free-to-air version. As the biggest and newest innovation on Philippine TV, this new digital service promises to transform Filipinos’ TV viewing experience.
Six Awesome Channels
What’s so fantastic about this awesome new service is that viewers now get a total of 6 channels with their “Mahiwagang Black Box”, the ABS-CBN’s innovative digital box. Aside from its regular ABS-CBN, the digital box also provides users with ABS-CBN Sports and Action, another free-to-air digital channel.
Four exclusive channels will also be available: CineMo so you can enjoy movies the entire day, the Knowledge Channel for your kids to learn something interesting and useful each day, dzMM Teleradyo for whole day news and current events, and Yey for fun and adventure shows as well as “edutainment” programs for the kids.
The network’s 6 channels promises to bring TV viewing experience to a whole new level, offering new options for a wider audience.
System Launch
ABS-CBN TVplus’ ceremonial “switch on” was at 5:30 PM today, February 11, at ABS-CBN Center Road. This momentous event was graced by ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III, ABS-CBN president and CEO Charo Santos-Concio, and ABS-CBN access head Carlo Katigbak.
A press conference will follow shortly. This will be led by ABS-CBN access head Carlo Katigbak, ABS-CBN narrowcast head March Ventosa, and ABS-CBN DTT head Chinky Alcedo.
