CineMo goes 24/7
The male-skewing entertainment and movie channel is going to be on air all day, everyday.
On March 5, CineMo announced through their social media pages the big change that’s set to happen today, March 8. CM is now broadcasting 24 hours, seven days a week.
With the change in broadcast hours, CineMo is now in line with fellow ABS-CBN Cable Channels. Prior to March 8, it was the only Kapamilya channel to close down every midnight — a practice that dates back to its days as a TVplus offering. During which, it peaked as one of the leading digital TV channels before it was closed down on DTV last June 30, 2020 amidst the ABS-CBN franchise renewal controversy.
Despite being unavailable on digital terrestrial TV, CineMo continues to air on Sky Cable channel 7, Gsat channel 13, Cignal channel 43, and Satlite channel 36.
