I hear someone asking “YouTV?” Simple, it’s YouTube-vision – not You-Televsion. Yes, the first YouTV made by a Filipino group is the hackenslash.net YouTV.

From their Press Release:
Gaming news website hackenslash.net has launched an online video channel on YouTube, its editor has said. This initiative is part of an effort to reach out to younger readers who “have learned to love and make [these online services] a part of their daily online routine.”
Joey Alarilla, hackenslash.net editor said, “hackenslash TV will be the coolest gaming TV show around – and it’s not even on regular TV. Actually, it’s the brand we’re using for the online video content we’re producing for the hackenslash.net gaming site.”
And I agree with him when he said that it “will be the coolest gaming TV show” especially in the country. There is already a gaming show locally that airs on the MTV Philippines channel, but most of the time all I see are the same old topics and programme, I even watched one episode where I saw a guest picking his nose in front of the camera, and the director, editor, or cameraman didn’t even told him that they will reshoot that scene. What’s that all about?
No offense to MTV, but me and other people I talked to can’t believe that a company like MTV will produce a show that is far from MTV’s standard of quality.
Anyway, we do need a gaming show that is not bias towards one company, a gaming show that truely talks about gaming and presents the different facets of the market, not some show that is backed by a gaming company, the show will end up to be nothing but a 30-minute advertisement.
I don’t know if the show is still airing, we stopped watching for months already, we just hope that the show is now an MTV “quality” show, and hope that they already realized that a “gaming show” should not be bias.
The hackenslash.net YouTV online video network is available at www.youtube.com/hackenslashtv, go subscribe now. And if you are a Filipino gamer who creates videos related to gaming, go add “hackenslash” as your friend as well.
Oh, this just proves further that offline TV is long-dead, and online video and user-created content are today’s norms. Unless you embrace it, your network will die a painful death. What’s left of the local TV networks in the Philippines? Even news, all you can watch and hear are negative news reports, but that’s another story for another time.
One response to “First Filipino Online YouTV”
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article. https://www.binance.com/en-ZA/register?ref=B4EPR6J0
