The cable and satellite TV channels that will carry the Kapamilya Channel are owned and operated by other companies and are not covered by the cease and desist order issued by the NTC to ABS-CBN.

Edutainment Channel ZooMoo seeks to raise your kids' AQ



What's your AQ? 

Environmental advocate Gregg Yan and lifestyle television host Kelly Misa-Fernandez,  with
Patricia Padilla, SkyCable Sales and Marketing Manager held the fun and educational session, and with kids activities at the Zoo Coffee of Ayala Vertis North last Saturday, February 9, 2019.



Gregg Yan,  Kelly Misa-Fernandez and Patricia Padilla, SkyCable Sales and Marketing Manager 

The event was a fun morning filled with kids activities, interesting animal facts, and discussions focused on how children can become good caretakers of the planet.

Have you ever worried that there’s so much stuff that’s unfit for kids to watch on tv these days? Parents and guardians need not to fret because ZooMoo provides a safe space for your little ones.



Made especially for kids with developing minds, the channel aims to help parents provide more kid-friendly entertainment for their preschoolers and make kids learn more about animals and nature.



What is ZooMoo?

ZooMoo believes that fun and learning go well together. This English-language based media channel nourishes children’s Animal Quotient (AQ) through its library of shows that capture their attention and awaken their imagination. ZooMoo provides deeper information about animals, their habitats, behaviour, and characteristics in a simplified yet visual way that are highly appealing to kids.

The channel comprises 1,500 self-contained shows combining spectacular wildlife footage with a range of puppetry, animations, and narrative techniques to create a unique viewing and learning experience for little viewers. ZooMoo’s programming lineup follow five themes: explore time, create time, play time, puzzle time and quiet time. The channel also carries a strong message of conservation to help kids become more compassionate towards the creatures we share the planet with.

Children and parents engage in a world of games, music, puzzles and activities.



The ZooMoo app’s Parent Page offers personalized support for things parents can do with their children to help their learning.

With the advent of this new form of programming, ZooMoo helps kids to grow up with a better grasp of the animal world, making them good stewards of this planet.


It’s About Animals All the Time

One of the defining characteristics of ZooMoo programming is that it aims to improve a child’s AQ providing a deeper, more meaningful understanding of different animals and species including their natural habitat, diet, unique traits, and other interesting trivia.



ZooMoo recently hosted a panel discussion for parents and guardians on the importance of teaching their kids about animals and nature at an early age. The session discussed how parents can help children develop better AQ through different activities they can do at home, and how ZooMoo provides assistance as their kids learn.


ZooMoo’s program line up is packaged in an easy to understand format that is fun for both parents and kids. SKYcable subscribers can choose to add ZooMoo (channel 120) to their channel line-up for only P20 per month via SKYcable Select.

Back - to School Essentials for the Digital -Savvy family



A new academic year begins in just a few days and as families shop for new school wardrobe staples and haul cool school supplies, families shouldn’t miss out on back-to-school essentials in the digital era.

1. A new laptop for the incoming college freshman

What better way to reward a family member who is about to start a new chapter of his life with a new laptop that he can use every day? A laptop is an extension of every student’s academic life that will serve as his companion during all-nighters and other school projects.

Macbook Pro’s 13-inch model with Retina Display is a perfect match for every student who is about to conquer a fresh semester. It’s portable, lightweight, and sleek enough to carry every day to school –a worthwhile investment that would last for years.


2. High speed home and mobile internet for the out and about high school student

As an Internet connection has effectively replaced having an arsenal of encyclopedias at home, a reliable home internet connection is a must. Better if it is an ultra-fast connection as it is critical for students to quickly access information for school requirements – from scholarly journals they need to cite in their research papers to videos they need to stream for a critique paper.

Besides a home internet, a student can do no wrong with a mobile internet connection. Teens who have to do homework while away from home can easily fulfill their school requirements when they have a handy mobile internet they can carry wherever they want.


3. Cable television for the little preschooler

Cable TV is still a powerful learning platform. A diverse cable channel lineup allows preschoolers to consume important information, while being entertained by their favorite educational shows.

High definition channels that give a lifelike feel to the cable shows also makes learning engaging as kids watch cartoon shows that teach good values and help shape their character.

One SKY Premium, SKY’s all-in bundle offers unlimited internet, HD cable TV, and mobile internet, and now with a special offer featuring a 13-inch Macbook Pro is the perfect all-in-one back-to-school essential.

Through SKY’s collaboration with Power Mac Center, the 13-inch Macbook Pro with Retina Display is exclusively offered at P2,915 per month – at 0% interest – for 24 months to new subscribers of One SKY Premium Plan 1999 and higher plans. This offer is available until July 15, 2017.

One SKY Premium Plan 1999 comes with 16Mbps unlimited internet, HD cable TV, and free SKY On Demand; One SKY Premium Plans 2999 and 3999 come with 32Mbps and 64 Mbps unlimited internet respectively. For those who want to surf the internet while on the go, One SKY Premium Plans 1799 and 2199 also includes 4G Pocket Wifi with speeds of up to 12mbps. The plans have a 24-month lock-in period.

Access to over 190 free SKYcable channels will also be activated once families avail of the special offer.

After the successful installation of any of the specified One SKY Premium plans, subscribers can head to participating Power Mac Centers with the special voucher to avail of the exclusive offer. This promo runs until July 15, 2017.

One SKY Premium plans were launched last October 2016 to enrich the digital entertainment experience of Filipino families by offering all-in-one, convenient bundles. The latest development also complements ABS-CBN’s transition into a digital company as SKY Cable is a unit of the Lopez-owned corporation.

SKY Cable Corporation is the first to introduce cable television to Filipinos in 1990. Since then, it has been a frontrunner in technology and cable TV content by being the first to design a highly customized viewing experience among subscribers, and offering the most number of HD channels. Its properties have expanded beyond pay TV and now includes One SKY Premium (unlimited all-in-one plans), One SKY Lite (consumable all-in-one plans), SKY On Demand (video-on-demand), SKYmobi (mobile internet), SKYcable (pay TV), and SKYdirect (direct-to-home pay TV).

Georgina Wilson (former Asia’s Next Top Model host), Solenn Heussaff (French-Filipina actress/artiste), Isabelle Daza (daughter of Miss Universe 1969) and Liz Uy (celebrity stylist).



For the first time, the fabulous four give fans an all-access look at their lives in the exclusive upper echelons of the Philippines’ sensational showbiz scene.

“Between them, the !T GIRLS have an outstanding 17 million social media followers. With this series, those fans will get to see what they are really like outside of their glamorous celebrity personas. This is a unique experience that only a pop culture powerhouse like E! can bring,” said Scott Mackenzie, Vice President, Channels, Asia, NBCUniversal International Networks and the series’ executive producer, “With the ratings success of It Takes GUTZ To Be A Gutierrez in markets like Singapore and Malaysia, we are confident that !T GIRLS will also fascinate viewers across the region.”

The !T GIRLS’ hunky husbands – Arthur Burnand, Nico Bolzico and Adrien Semblat; Isabelle’s mother Gloria Diaz (veteran actress and former beauty queen) and Solenn’s brother Erwan Heussaff (TV personality and food entrepreneur) will also be part of the series.

News Asia host and star of E!’s It Takes GUTZ To Be A Gutierrez, each episode of !T GIRLS follows the crazy and colorful lives of the squad, rotating between their different roles as public personalities and switching modes into their more personal lives as wives, sisters and daughters. Drama abounds as the pressures of being a celebrity heighten and the ultimate question is – what will these !T GIRLS compromise between life changes and their showbiz life?

New Drama Series Westworld Premieres on Monday, Oct 3, at 9am, Same Time as the U.S.


Set in the wild west, the sci-fi blockbuster is expected to be the HBO's next smash hit in a long line of popular programs.


WESTWORLD is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, it explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged. 

The brand-new one-hour drama series WESTWORLD and starring an ensemble cast including Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood and James Marsden, kicks off its ten-episode season premiere on Monday, Oct 3, at 9am, exclusively on HBO, with same day primetime encore at 9pm. New episodes premiere on subsequent Mondays at the same time.

Based on a 1973 film of the same name, WESTWORLD will also be available on HBO GO.


Created for television by Jonathan Nolan (“Interstellar,” “The Dark Knight,” “Person of Interest”) and Lisa Joy (“Pushing Daisies,” “Burn Notice”), both of whom are executive producing and writing, with Nolan also directing, the series was inspired by the 1973 motion picture “Westworld,” written and directed by Michael Crichton.



Co-creator Nolan explains, “Building on the incredibly evocative concept of the original film, we wanted to pose the question: If you could be completely immersed in a fantasy, one in which you could do whatever you wanted, would you discover things about yourself that you didn’t want to know?”


Co-creator Joy adds, “We also wanted to explore what it means to be human from the outside in – through the eyes of the ‘hosts’: the lifelike AI characters that are the main attractions of the park. It’s a meditation on consciousness – the blessing and the burden of it – beautifully portrayed by our remarkable cast.”


WESTWORLD’S exceptional ensemble of cast members: 



Anthony Hopkins (Academy Award® winner for “The Silence of the Lambs”; Academy Award® nominee for “Remains of the Day,” “Nixon,” “Amistad”)

Ed Harris (Golden Globe winner and Emmy® nominee for HBO’s “Game Change”; Academy Award® nominee for “Pollock,” “Apollo 13”)

Evan Rachel Wood (Golden Globe nominee for “Thirteen”; Emmy® and Golden Globe nominee for HBO’s “Mildred Pierce”)

James Marsden (the “X-Men” films)

Thandie Newton (“Mission: Impossible II”)

Jeffrey Wright (HBO’s “Confirmation”; Emmy® and Golden Globe winner for HBO’s “Angels in America”)

The series also stars : 

Tessa Thompson (“Creed”)
Sidse Babett Knudsen (“Borgen”)
Jimmi Simpson (HBO’s “The Newsroom”)
Rodrigo Santoro (“Focus,” “The 33”)
Shannon Woodward (“Raising Hope”)
Ingrid Bolsø Berdal(“Chernobyl Diaries”)
Ben Barnes (“The Chronicles of Narnia” films)
Simon Quarterman (“The Devil Inside”)
Angela Sarafyan (“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn”)
Luke Hemsworth (“Infini”)
Clifton Collins, Jr. (“Star Trek”)



In the WESTWORLD universe

Among WESTWORLD’s main players are: 

Dr. Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins), the brilliant, taciturn and complicated creative director, chief programmer and founder of Westworld, who has an uncompromising creative vision for the park.

The Man in Black (Ed Harris) is the distillation of pure villainy into one man. 

Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood) is a provincial, beautiful and kind rancher’s daughter, who begins to discover that her entire idyllic existence is an elaborately constructed lie.

Teddy Flood (James Marsden), a new arrival to a small frontier town, quickly proves both his charm and talent with a revolver. 

Beautiful, razor-sharp madam Maeve Millay (Thandie Newton) has a genius for reading people and a knack for survival, but her seen-it-all-before worldview is about to be challenged. 

Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright) is the brilliant and quixotic head of the park’s Programming Division, whose keen observation of human nature provides him with boundless inspiration for his life’s work: creating artificial people.

Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) is a mysterious and savvy provocateur with a unique perspective on Westworld. 

Theresa Cullen (Sidse Babett Knudsen), Westworld’s head of Quality Assurance, is responsible for keeping the park from sliding into unscripted chaos. 

A first-time visitor, William (Jimmi Simpson) is initially wary of the park’s more lascivious attractions, but slowly uncovers a deeper meaning.

Hector Escaton (Rodrigo Santoro), Westworld’s perennial “most wanted” bandit, subscribes to the theory that the West is a wild place, and the only way to survive is to embrace the role of predator. 

Elsie Hughes (Shannon Woodward), a sardonic rising star in the Behaviour Department, is charged with diagnosing the odd quirks of behaviour in the park’s hosts. 

Armistice (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal) is a savage fighter and brutal bandit, whose ruthlessness is surpassed only by her abiding loyalty to her fellow outlaws.

Logan (Ben Barnes) is a veteran guest whose hedonistic romp through the park is equally motivated by self-indulgence and a desire to help his friend, William. 

Lee Sizemore (Simon Quarterman) is the head of Narrative, whose storylines tantalise the guests, while his temperament grates on his colleagues. 

Clementine Pennyfeather (Angela Sarafyan), one of Westworld’s most popular attractions, is perfectly beguiling, by design.

Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth) is the no-nonsense head of Security, charged with monitoring host and human interactions and ensuring the safety of the guests. 

Lawrence (Clifton Collins, Jr.), a charming but lethal outlaw, has a knack for manoeuvring and negotiating the various criminal elements of Westworld.

Here are the video interviews with the cast and crew of Westworld:

All- new MacGyver only on AXN, premieres September 29


Philippines (September, 2016) – AXN has one ‘Gy’ to save the world this September with MacGyver, a dynamic re-imagining of the iconic hit television series that was hugely popular in the eighties. 

Set to premiere September 29, first and exclusively on AXN, this modern-day take is an action-adventure drama that features Angus “Mac” MacGyver who forms a clandestine organization within the U.S. government. Here MacGyver utilizes his extraordinary talent making inventive use of ordinary objects in a matter of minutes to decipher seemingly unsolvable problems. 

The action-packed series follows the unconventional exploits of our young hardware hero as he undertakes high-risk missions to save lives around the globe. Highly resourceful and with vast scientific knowledge, MacGyver narrowly escapes life-and-death situations armed with a little more than common items, like a paper clip, duct tape, and his trusty Swiss Army knife. Joining him is the maverick former CIA agent Jack Dalton. 

Lucas Till (Havok in the X-Men movie series) stars as MacGyver while CSI veteran George Eads plays Jack Dalton. Peter Lenkov (Hawaii Five-0, CSI:NY), Golden Globe Award winner Henry Winkler (Happy Days), Lee Zlotoff (MacGyver), James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring) serve as executive producers for the series. 

Expect lots of thrills in the premiere episode directed by James Wan of The Conjuring and Insidious fame as MacGyver puts his troubleshooting skills to the test and cleverly implements unorthodox methods to hurdle over complex problems and eventually become triumphant in the end. 

MacGyver premieres same week as the U.S. on September 29, every Thursday at 9:45 pm. 

First & Exclusive on AXN 

AXN is seen on Cable Link Channel 38, Cignal Digital TV Channel 61, Global Destiny Cable Channel 61, Dream Channel 20, GSat Channel 51, and SKYCable Channel 49.
