Attention to Youth Channel Execs: Here’s A Show That I Want to Do.
May 17th
Dear Youth Channel Execs (Present and Future, from Yey, Hero and TV5′s Planned Anime Channel on Cignal DTV)
Greetings!
May I offer you something that I’m sure, if I pitched this to you, will turn the tables and make Philippine TV history as you know it.
So Okay, Here’s the Pitch (Quoting a Chapter in Brandon Tartikoff’s Book)
Rappler: Making Journalistic Ripples through Social Change.
Jan 23rd

Rappler's Audience at the FEU Auditorium
It is rare to see journalists talk about what they think about what should people should or could do to change the way they think and what they act, and yesterday was one of those days.
Happy New Year, (and oh, Check the shortlink, wink wink)

Happy New Year 2012 Guys…. I know it has been a loud as hell new year for all of you, and I hope your fingers are still intact. xD
This year is the start of a new and rehashed The Notebook, NEW in the sense that we will be more focused more on anime issues than on my personal ramblings (there will be a blog for that, as I will explain in the foot of this post) and I will be more brutal, Brutal but with Responsibility in writing commentaries and issues that involves the networks’ treatment of anime issues and also the PH anime events scene.
And yeah, with everything new. I am also thinking of redesigning the blog, but it will be consulted first with ZEN’s Exec Ed for any approval, For now, I am in the process of moving all my personal blogposts onto my other blog account at WordPress.com (which will be self-hosted later this year 2012).
Of Course, we will still have the Segments “Ang Pangit naman Nito!”, “Sidenotes”, “The Notebook Exclusive”, “The Notebook Notepad” and “Rundown”, plus our main “Right off the Pages”, And I will also include some new segments as time progresses… and also I am considering opening contributions from you guys…. Yes, You! (of course, I will thresh out the details later this month both here, on my personal blog, my Twitter and Tumblr.)
For my personal ramblings, meanwhile, you can check out my WordPress blog and my tumblr account as well. I am in the process now of considering, and bidding out the hosting rights of my WordPress site, and I have two choices… ZEN’s current host, and an another top-caliber host. Don’t be surprised if one of these days, you may see on Twitter or tumblr a link to my first post on my self hosted blog!
Again, Happy New Year…. and join me to start writing again in my Notebook.
Headin’ Out!

(n.b. It has been a long time since I posted in this blog, School really had took a toll on me and so is my writing. But now that the semester is out, I promise that will try to make it up to you all. This is a piece I had written when the net was offline.)

We have already discussed so many things about Digital Television; we also had already done so many hunches and assumptions on who will explore more options on the multichannel universe.
But let us discuss what are the Big three networks are doing in this competitive media war which rivals that of the US television networks.
