Floyd dragged me to Ascott (formerly Oakwood Premiere –and yes, it is always associated with the word mutiny) for the Oprah Presscon. That means break from the usual day at work. The Press Conference started with a luncheon. The buffet spread at Ascott did not disappoint with a good selection of pasta, meat, casseroles, and desserts. After the luncheon, we were ushered to a mini-theater room. CABLE television’s Hallmark Channel has acquired a new asset to its channel programming in Oprah Winfrey. Channel owners Sparrowhawk Media closed a deal with CBS Paramount International, the distributor of Oprah’s talk show, to give Hallmark Channel exclusive access to the Oprah Winfrey Show in Asia. Managing director for Hallmark Channel Asia Pacific Andrew Hanna said, “This is truly a fantastic deal—Oprah, without question, is one of the most influential names on television and we are delighted to have secured these rights.”
Oprah’s Filipino fans and followers can expect only the latest episodes via cable television. Her shows highly anticipated celebrity interviews and inspiring stories sit well with a universal audience and complements the cable channel’s platform of showcasing quality entertainment.
