[edit] From SkyCable to Terrestrial Television

Solar's channels have ceased airing on SkyCable, the Philippines' largest cable company. An insider claims that these troubles with SkyCable started when boxing champ Manny Pacquiao, whose fights Solar Entertainment has the exclusive right to air and distribute, moved from ABS-CBN, a sister company of Sky, to rival GMA. However, Solar has inked a deal with local terrestrial channels ABC, RPN, SBN and RJTV 29 for block-time programming.^[1] C/S, ETC and 2nd Avenue progamming are seen on terrestrial TV channels RPN, SBN and RJTV, respectively, while NBA and WWE programming are seen on ABC.
