The Pundit’s Hat: Solar’s Buying Spree and their News Channel Plans Part 2 – The Advantages and the Drawbacks
Mar 14th
This post will mark our first post in our new segment called “The Pundit’s Hat”, where we will discuss and analyze the nitty-gritty of what’s happening in the Philippine Media Scene, I drew the title of my segment from the word “Pundit” which means “A source of opinion; a critic” from the Free Dictionary, as in a “Political Pundit”, and in the past,. I thought of Political Pundits as wearing those stetson hats to prove their case, thus the title “The Pundit’s Hat”
I created this segment to be a critic and analyze what is happening in the PH media, be it related to anime or not. I’m basing all of what I write here in the Pundit’s Hat not out of coyness or being a show-off in the Media world but because I base it with the books that I have read and the countless web research that I did.
Now, for our first outing, We will tackle about the probable pros and cons on how will Solar will wing their Prospective News Channel, now that they have moved ETC to Channel 9 and on Channel 21, I dunno for the time being or is it going to be permanent, a New Channel Emerged, and they named it as “talktv”
Solar’s Buying Spree (And their News Channel Plans) – Part 1
Feb 27th

Seems that Solar is on an aggressive Buying spree to build it's own network, instead of building from scratch
In Vic Agustin’s Cocktales column over the Manila Standard Today dated 25 February, he wrote that Solar is planning to go all-out on a News Channel, but instead of placing Channel 9 in the News Channel route, They have set their eyes on an another channel.
Yes. It’s going to be on ETC’s vacated channel space, Channel 21.
