1.
Why: ABC, ABC HD, NBC, CBS and / or CBS HD?


Major suppliers of cable TV programming have invested to accquire exclusive rights to broadcast in Latin America some content that ABC, CBS and NBC broadcast within the United States. Therefore, no ABC, CBS and NBC affiliate can transmit these series or special content outside the U.S, including Panamá.

Will the actual rate vary?


The rate remains the same, as stipulated in clause 6.2 of the service subscription contract. Cable Onda has added 4 new channels entering the line up on February 28 (Sony HD, A & E HD, Tru TV, and American Network). Nick Jr. entered the line up in January, Cubavisión and Multipremiere wich entered the line up in November 2010. In addition, Cable Onda added 20 new channels in July 2010 with no increase in rates. Unfortunately, the removal of these channels is beyon the control of Cable Onda. The change in line up has been duly notified to ASEP and ACODECO as is in compliance with all legal provision.

All pay TV companies in Panama and elsewhere, have to comply with this situation. Cable Onda offers several advantages over other competitors, including VoD service, the exclusive Cable Onda Sports channel and more HD content than others.
