SkyCable is continue to dropped some TV channels this month. This year alone we lost AniPlus and K+ on the channel lineup. And this September, aside from Nat Geo and Nat Geo Wild ceases their channels on October 1, before that BBC News will ceased transmission on September 24. BBC News has a great run with Sky since its been in the channel lineup for almost 25 years. So sad that another channel will no longer be on the SkyCable channel lineup. And I don't think Sky will launch new channels soon since PLDT will gonna buy Sky assets and ceases is Cable TV division.

Speaking of PLDT, I have a new theory about buying Sky. Since PLDT owns Cignal if the PCC gonna allow to buy, I think SkyCable TV subscribers will switch Cignal service without switching to a cignal box or installing a Satellite. Just a simple channel scan (or maybe provide us with a Cignal Viewing Card insert to the digibox) and you have Cignal tv channels.

SkyCable lost money (ever since the ban of ABS-CBN)

Pero:
The removal of Nat Geo and Nat Geo Wild was a decision from Walt Disney International mismo (because they want to promote Disney+ throughout Asia-Pacific)

Still regardless:
AFAIK, SkyCable still has the widest channel lineup among all Pay-TV operators here in the country

So does this means that without ABS CBN broadcast franchise license, is SkyCable will affect too in the long run?  Is ABS CBN lying to consumers on what the state SkyCable headed? When the company said was business as usual on both Cable TV and Internet when in fact in reality they're losing money, how is that possible?

Also the PCC is now reviewing on the  PLDT takeover of SKY. But the question is, will there be a shakeup in Cignal too especially in the Pay TV industry?
