Concepcion said the channel will include TVUP productions, consisting of 591 episodes of programs such as The Platform; Science Innovations; NOAH Updates; Maikling Pelikula; Kultura, Sining, Atbp.; Kalusugan at Karapatan; at Gulayan sa Tahanan, among others.
“Our friends from Cignal TV recognize the value of our work and our goal to extend our services to as many as possible, whether these are students looking to enrich their lessons or ordinary citizens who wish to gain more knowledge and develop skills,” Concepcion continued.
He noted the move is “the perfect opportunity to nurture lifelong learning in our people.”
Concepcion said the partnership with Cignal TV allows them to expand their offerings to over 4.1 million subscribers of the Filipino media and introduce distance learners to a new way of experiencing remote learning. – ngs
