30 June- 13 July C NTENTASIA 2014 www.contentasia.tv l https://www.facebook.com/contentasia?fref=ts facebook.com/contentasia l @contentasia l www.asiacontentwatch.com Fox Asia unveils new sports story Three channel shift all set for 15 August Fox International Channels (FIC) Asia moves another step into its wholly owned sports future in August this year with three repositioned sports brands and a “seri- ously visible upgrade” both on and off screen. Fox Sports, Fox Sports 2 and Fox Sports 3 roll out across the region on 15 August in both standard definition and HD. These replace the previous versions of Fox Sports as well as Fox Sports Plus HD and Star Sports everywhere except China and South Korea, where Star Sports will continue to be offered. Fox Sports News and Fox Football Chan- nel HD remain unchanged, as do the network’s non-linear offerings – Fox Sports Play and Fox Sports Mobile. Each of the new brands will cater to distinct groups of sports fans, says Joon Lee, FIC Asia’s executive vice president, content and communications, APAC and Middle East and managing director, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Coming two years after the end of the ESPN Star Sports joint venture, the latest branding is aimed at going even bigger with the Fox Sports brand. More simply, “we inherited the Star Sports brand and it’s confusing to have the two with distinctions that are not clear enough,” Lee says. “It’s essential for us to come up with a network under one brand, which is Fox Sports,” he adds. -

20 Century Ends
New Year‟s Celebration 2013 20th CENTURY ENDS ANKIND yesterday stood on the threshold of a new millennium, linked by satellite technology for the most closely watched midnight in history. M The millennium watch was kept all over the world, from a sprinkle of South Pacific islands to the skyscrapers of the Americas, across the pyramids, the Parthenon and the temples of Angkor Wat. Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said Filipinos should greet 2013 with ''great joy'' and ''anticipation.'' ''The year 2013 is not about Y2K, the end of the world or the biggest party of a lifetime,'' he said. ''It is about J2K13, Jesus 2013, the Jubilee 2013 and Joy to the World 2013. It is about 2013 years of Christ's loving presence in the world.'' The world celebration was tempered, however, by unease over Earth's vulnerability to terrorism and its dependence on computer technology. The excitement was typified by the Pacific archipelago nation of Kiribati, so eager to be first to see the millennium that it actually shifted its portion of the international dateline two hours east. The caution was exemplified by Seattle, which canceled its New Year's party for fear of terrorism. In the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III is bracing for a “tough” new year. At the same time, he called on Filipinos to pray for global peace and brotherhood and to work as one in facing the challenges of the 21st century. Mr. Estrada and at least one Cabinet official said the impending oil price increase, an expected P60- billion budget deficit, and the public opposition to amending the Constitution to allow unbridled foreign investments would make it a difficult time for the Estrada presidency.
