What Makes 9TV the Best Entertainment Channel on Free TV?

October 5, 2014

It's been over a month since 9TV came in to our television screens. The new face of RPN 9 appoint many Filipino viewers including myself who want to try a different brand of alternative viewing experience on free TV. I assumed that Channel 9 has finally found its true calling after a longtime search for its own niche. And that would be as the news and information that aims to reach and widen nationwide free TV audience. In fact, for me or in my point of view, among all the TV networks that are available on Philippine free TV,.

What makes 9TV the best entertainment channel on Philippine TV for me is definitely its programming strategy, considering that. It is an clear, evident fact that weekdays are always slated for news and information programs, but it is on primetime and weekends that makes this channel more interesting. 9TV's beefed-up weekend programming is filled with a various and diverse mix of entertainment programs that would cater every segment of the Philippine viewing population. Perhaps the best highlight of weekend programming on the new channel 9 is its Kids Weekend block, which features the return of Sesame Street and Pokemon on Philippine television with freshly new episodes along with Batibot and Penpen de Sarapen.

Meanwhile, its local programs on primetime that complementing each program on RPN Channel 9 possess different elements and qualities. Such programs would include Temptation Island: Dare to Win, Kanta Tayo, Boses Tinig Pinoy, Price is Right, Superstar, John en Nova, ''Actually Yun Na! Megaon and recently launched new programs for young viewers and teensincluding Meet the Date, Carl & Ed, I'm a Princesa, Fantastik Man, Fall in Love for You, Junior TV, Barkada Diaries, Dear Hazel and Dobol Trobol'', among others.

Judging by the traditional programming provided by other networks, I think that 9TV's primetime programming is better than ABS-CBN, GMA-7, IBC-13 and TV5. I would surely hope that 9TV, with 9News and its weekend programming, would continue to reach its purpose to inform and entertain many Filipino viewers with its own brand of quality alternative programming.
