Al Jazeera English, the global 24-hour English language world news channel based in the Middle East, is launching on SkyCable.

It's an exciting new development for Filipino viewers who want a fresh new perspective on world affairs. Al Jazeera, home to household names such Veronica Pedrosa, Sir David Frost and Riz Khan, will be made available to SkyCable's digital subscribers in Metro Manila beginning August 15.

Phil Lawrie, Director of Global Distribution at Al Jazeera Network, comments: "This new partnership with SkyCable is yet another step forward for Al Jazeera English in Asia. I'm delighted that more Filipino viewers will now have access to our world-class news coverage offering refreshingly alternative local, regional and global perspectives. We comprehensively cover the Philippines from our Manila bureau, headed by internationally acclaimed correspondent, Marga Ortigas; our Kuala Lumpur Broadcast Centre is at the heart of the Asia Pacific region and our global network of 69 bureaus and Broadcast Centres provides viewers with an unrivalled worldwide newsgathering reach."

Ray Montinola, SkyCable Vice President for Marketing, adds, 'We are happy to make Al Jazeera's content available to more Filipino viewers, providing them with fresh perspectives and insights on news and issues from developing countries similar to ours. Together with the other news channels in our line-up, Al Jazeera completes an unbeatable news block.'

Al Jazeera English is available from August 15th on SkyCable channel 152. Al Jazeera English broadcasts to over 150 million households worldwide and has just been nominated for Emmy awards in both the News and Current Affairs categories for the second successive year.
