    I’m just surprised they lasted that long. They really didn’t manage to get a good enough audience share to get more advertisers, and thus, funding.

    The only few handful of advertisers they got (I think only San Miguel corporation?) got a lot of advertisements, even getting whole chunks of programming time, which “cheapened” the channel’s appeal to me. Kung nag-iisa na lang ang nag-aadvertise sa isang channel, the entire channel would just seem to be a propaganda arm for that company–rightly or wrongly.

    Still, they had a good run, despite the obvious financial problems.

      Some archivists knew that was going to happen but only had a day to save everything they can. Yung Pilipinas debates lang ata and a few notable ones were archived.

    No pun intended, but Channel 9 just can’t seem to get a good break since maybe the 2000s (RPN rebrands, Solar TV, and now CNN PH)

    I guess the CNN Philippines free agents are going to make a beeline for ANC. That’s where most of them came from anyway, and it’s the only network where their upper-class delivery would fit.
