Jeepney TV's Hero Zone Programming Block's Sunday Time Slot Changes
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Philippine cable channel Jeepney TV announced last Sunday that its Hero Zone programming block will change time slots on Sundays to the 8:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. time slot starting on May 6. The Saturday time slot remains 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m.
Currently, the channel is airing the KonoSuba – God’s blessing on this wonderful world!! and Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V anime during the block.
HERO TV recently shut down, airing its last day on January 31, and signing off at 12:00 a.m. on February 1. HERO TV's sister channel TAG also shut down. The channel's social media channels then pivoted as a "digital platform" for news and articles related to pop culture, anime, and gaming. Jeepney TV launched the Hero Zone programming block on March 11, and expanded its time slot to Saturday in early April.
Media conglomerate ABS-CBN launched HERO TV in 2005. The channel aired Filipino-dubbed anime. The channel initially re-aired classic anime with Filipino dubs that ABS-CBN had already licensed, such as Voltes V, Naruto, Shaman King, and others. HERO TV then moved to licensing anime on its own, and in the past years, has aired Filipino dubs of anime that aired only three or four seasons previous.
