Food and music on SKYcable

MANILA, Philippines - The Asian Food Channel, the premiere food and lifestyle broadcaster in Asia; and Mezzo Live, the best place for classical music, jazz and dance on TV, now have high-definition channels of their own, launched first on SKYcable and Destiny Cable. Each HD channel brings with its own flavor of the good life that everyone can savor.

Britain’s culinary landscape unfolds on the Asian Food Channel HD. Master Chef’s Gordon Ramsey is looking for the best dining establishments in the UK in his latest show, Ramsey’s Best Restaurant. Restaurant teams will be tested in the fast-paced, hard-hitting new competition. Fans will have an exhilarating experience watching the fiery Ramsey command contestants to victory.

Jamie Oliver offers a more comforting counterpoint to Ramsey’s fierceness. Also showing on the Asian Food Channel HD is Jamie’s new show, Jamie at Home. This time, Jamie demonstrates healthy and easy-to-cook cuisine for the busy urbanite. Fans will have a look at Jamie’s down-to-earth style, especially when he uses ingredients that are organically grown from his own garden.

Fantastic cuisine pairs wonderfully with the harmonic musical performances that come to life in high-definition video and concert-quality sound on Mezzo Live HD. Fans of these musical genres are treated to the sights and sounds of the most beautiful concert halls that can be experienced straight from TV at home. With all programs recorded and broadcast in HD, televiewers can indulge in concertos and symphonies held across the most-renowned halls in Europe every day.

This month, fans of the high arts can watch the best interpretations of the classics on Mezzo Live HD. Long-time followers of this scene will bear witness to Youn Sun Nah at Jazz à Vienne Festival; Verdi: Falstaff conducted by Daniele Gatti in Zurich; and Anna Netrebko sings Don Pasquale by Donizetti — all in an unparalleled HD TV experience.
