Cube iTV is the country’s leading 24/7 interactive chat channel today. Its various multimedia features allow members to interact and build their social network by exchanging SMS and MMS real-time on television. With over 130,000 active members across Globe, Smart and Sun, CUBE iTV has grown into more than the regular SMS-TV chat channel.
Launched in April 2005, CUBE iTV has progressed from a simple SMS-TV chatroom into a full-blown interactive TV channel.
On the other hand, Tsikot.com is the biggest and fastest growing automotive online community in the Philippines with present membership over 45,000. Tsikot.com has become the number one destination for automotive-related topics on the web, offering discussion forums, auto classifieds, reviews, galleries and automotive-related video content. The community receives more than five-million page views and more than 400,000 unique visitors a month. Tsikot.Tv is presently in test broadcast over at Channel 67 in both Skycable and Home Cable. Cube iTV will also be available in several regional cable channel networks. Plans are afoot to air also in free tv via a UHF channel.
