StarHub on a pay-TV offensive
Philip Wong | Sep 25, 2007
Don't you love competition? The recent entry of the red camp (read: SingTel) has gotten the boys in green on an offensive. In two separate recent press releases, the cable TV provider announced a barrage of new programs to further entice its subscribers. Here's a roundup of what're installed for Singapore in the coming weeks.
Neo Sports: A 24-hour channel featuring home and domestic matches by the Indian and Bangladesh cricket teams. This will be bundled with the existing Cricket Channel to form a new Cricket Group with a monthly promotion price of S$26.75 (US$17.60) till March 2008. Expect this channel to be available starting from September 26.
Golf Channel: Another round-the-clock channel going live on October 16, but this time for Tiger Wood wannabes at no extra cost. The program lineup includes 60 hours of live and delayed telecasts of US PGA, European PGA, LPGA, Champions and Nationwide Tours. The catch? You will have to be an existing Sport Group customer on Digital cable.
STAR Gold: This one will appeal to all Bollywood buffs with one of the world's largest libraries of blockbusters showcasing Indian stars, filmmakers, elaborate dance sequences and music scores. A first outside India, Pakistan and the Middle East, this will be telecast from October 4 for a monthly fee of S$8.56 (US$5.63), available for all Digital cable subscribers.
TVB Classic Channel: Also to be launched on the same day as STAR Gold, this channel will air Hong Kong evergreen dramas from Cantonese veterans the likes of Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau and Liza Wang. A new and free addition to the Chinese Plus II group, this ups the current selection to a total of nine separate Chinese channels, all for a flat rate of S$8.56 (US$5.63) per month.
