The launching of South Spot at the Wheels n More Compound will also kick-off the 2nd Muzika del Sur Music Awards.
South Spot, on Channel 13 over Skycable Davao City, will feature programs spotlighting Mindanao and its different facets.
Among its current shows for airing include the latest season of
Mindanao’s first and only music magazine Muzika del Sur, its spin-off
Music Box which is a taped performance of Mindanao musical artists
performing their own materials, Guerilla Cinema, a showcase of
different short films of the Guerilla Film Festival, and Kabataan
X-Press, a groundbreaking magazine show produced by Pinoy teens from
different parts of the country.
The channel was created in response to a growing need for alternative
TV programming that will cater to the tastes and interests of Mindanao
viewers. With largely Mindanao-based content, South Spot seeks to draw
attention to the beauties and bounties of the region, its local
affairs, people, products and talents.
