In March 2, 2011, RPN makes a comeback with the new ETC programming, as Newswatch moves to a new timeslot at 5pm to 6pm and NewsCap at 11pm to 11:30pm on Free TV 9.
About[]
In other news… RPN 9 is back!
RPN Newswatch, the longest-running English newscast on Philippine television, is now airing on ETC-9. Cable channel ETC replaced Solar TV starting March 2. It now airs from 5-6pm. NewsCap, RPN’s late-night news program, now airs from 11-11:30pm.
But wait! There’s more!
ETC is now accessible to a wider audience and market. That means along with Newswatch and NewsCap, we can now enjoy series such as Glee, Gossip Girl, How I Met Your Mother, reality show America’s Next Top Model, and TMZ on free TV.
I’m relieved to know that RPN 9’s employees haven’t been abandoned by the government and the management. Those people deserve to be heard and compensated for their efforts to keep the station afloat. Hopefully it stays that way.
