TV5 Files Complaint Against SkyCable

Posted on March 15, 2011 by TV5 // 92 Comments

TV5 filed a letter of complaint today with the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) concerning Pilipino Cable Corporation’s “continued refusal to include UHF Channel 41 in its SkyCable channel line-up.”

Previously, on February 18, 2011, TV5, through its Legal Department Head Atty. Christine Ona, sent Pilipino Cable Corporation a letter informing the latter that AksyonTV (UHF Channel 41 on free TV) would commence its broadcast on February 21, 2011. By means of the same letter, TV5 thus requested Pilipino Cable Corporation for the channel assignment of the said free-to-air channel on Sky Cable. AksyonTV is TV5’s 24-hour news and sports channel on the UHF band.

However, despite TV5’s aforesaid letter-request for Sky Cable’s compliance with the NTC’s “must carry” rule on the broadcast of free TV channels by all cable operators, Pilipino Cable Corporation has to date not acceded to TV5’s request for inclusion of its AksyonTV UHF Channel 41 in Sky Cable’s channel line-up.

At any rate, in its letter-complaint filed today with the NTC, TV5 cites Pilipino Cable Corporation’s “clear act of unfair trade competition” and accordingly requests the NTC to sanction Pilipino Cable Corporation for its “highly illegal acts” that are “prejudicial to the rights of [TV5].” In addition, TV5 calls on the NTC to “investigate the matter” and “impose appropriate penalties” against Pilipino Cable Corporation for the cable operator’s alleged unfair trade practice. Pilipino Cable Corporation is owned and controlled by ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation, a competitor of TV5 and AksyonTV.

    kaya long, wala kang karapatang akusahan ang abs-cbn na marumi dahil ang fave mong istasyon eh nag-uumapaw din ang kabulukan!

    at saka, excuse me huh, maraming cable viewers mas preferred ang abs kontra sa gma7 dahil base na rin sa survey eh ang kalimitang nanonood ng abs ay from class a-d whereas ang kapuso viewers mainly ay d at e!

    long, sino kaya ang mas maruming maglaro?
    hindi mo ba naaalala ang tampering na ginawa ng gma7 sa agb household sa visayas?

    Tin said AGB Nielsen conducted its own investigation and found at least 79 of its metered homes that were breached by another network(GMA Network).

    In her affidavit, Reforma said the 79 were among 532 metered homes in six cities INTERVIEWED BY THE RESEARCH FIRM to CONFIRM the alleged bribery attempts. She said the 532 homes comprised 100 percent of all AGB Nielsen metered homes in the six cities.

    Of the 79 tampered homes, 27 were from Iloilo, 18 were from Bacolod, 12 from Cebu, 13 in Davao, four in Dagupan and five in Cagayan de Oro.

    She said all 79 panel homes admitted being exposed to “activities” of GMA Network, the main competitor of ABS-CBN, She said the panel homes were persuaded to watch GMA shows in exchange for monthly prizes including P500 in cash, groceries, umbrellas, pens and medicine.

    “Panel homes who declare themselves to be watching ABS-CBN are asked to become a member of the GMA Kapuso viewers in order to receive a monthly supply of groceries and P500,” she said, describing one of the activities.

    desperate much TV5? just respect ang decision ng skycable, at wala kayong magagawa dun. Bakit, wala bang option para “HUMINDI”? parang you request for a confirmed yes, kahit ayaw ng skycable. Don’t dictate their decision. Kakaloka, akala ko GMA lang desperate pati pala TV5.

    I don’t believe na si Atty. Gozon ang nagko-comment dito Sa mga gumagamit ng pangalan niya – hinay hinay naman kayo. Hindi ito bababa sa level nyo – kung anong level man ‘yon. Tapos kadalasan, out-of-topic kayo. Please stick to the subject matter. Ang issue dito ay TV5, bakit kailangan isali ang GMA7? Lalo na itong si alex g – as if all knowing ito. Nakakatulog ka pa ba sa kanegahan mo?
