PHILIPPINES, MARCH 23, 2011 – In the interest of fairness, we will publish in full the statement from SkyCable on the TV5 complaint filed against the cable provider last week.
SKYCABLE STATEMENT ON AKSYON TV
SkyCable is committed to comply with the must-carry rule of NTC. However, the current channel capacity of SkyCable is full; hence, we are unable to immediately accommodate carrying Aksyon TV and comply with this policy.
We are working on increasing channel capacity which may take some time due to dependencies on the technical end.
We need some time to work around the technical limitation while being mindful that replacing a paid channel would render some dissatisfaction among our paying cable subscribers.
