Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What’s your favorite childhood memory?
Watching cable TV. We got cable TV back in 1995 and my favorite channel was CNN International. Naalala ko dati ang schedule niyan is different from CNN US unlike today and I watched their World News as well as World Report which they show news reports contributed from TV stations around the world.
In addition to CNNI, naabutan ko pa ang Star Plus (later Star World and Fox Life, now defunct), HBO, Cartoon Network, Sky 1 (later Pinoy Blockbuster Channel and now Cinema One), SNN (now ANC), I Channel (later Lifestyle Network and now Metro Channel), Aquarium Channel, Vid-Ok (now Myx), and the now defunct Philippine Medical Television channel (PMTV). Naalala ko rin ang mga foreign channels like RTM TV1 (Malaysia), BBTV7 (Thailand), RCTI (Indonesia), BBC World (UK), Arirang (South Korea), Worldnet (now VOA TV), NHK BS1, CFI (France), at DW (Germany). I also watched the UHF stations such as SBN 21, RJTV 29, Citynet 27, and CTV 31 via cable.
My favorite cable channel of all time was i Channel on SkyCable. Puros cartoons sa umaga with some cooking shows (Frugal Gourmet) sprinkled in between, then sa gabi mga American sitcoms and dramas. Pag Friday night naman mga violent anime (8 Man After) and adult-themed programs (Dream On), which I shouldn't be watching. lol.
