Sony Channel launches new shows

MANILA, Philippines—Sony Channel will launch new and exciting shows this October.

Sony Channel will bring an unprecedented television experience to its audience delivering the biggest and best from Hollywood.

Designed for the socially connected viewer, Sony Channel highlights the most captivating, talked about shows on TV, airing close to their US telecasts.

Some of the must-watch shows and series include the suspenseful legal thriller “How to Get Away with Murder,” which will premiere on October 15, 2014 at 9:05 p.m. on the Sony Channel.

Academy-Award nominee Viola Davis stars as the brilliant, charismatic criminal law professor who is everything you hope your Criminal Law professor would be. She teaches a course she boldly refers to as “How To Get Away With Murder,” choosing the brightest students in her class to join her at her firm.

Another exciting movie is Jane the Virgin. Loosely adapted from a Venezuelan telenovela of the same name, Jane the Virgin is a delightful new dramedy on Sony Channel.

Jane Villanueva (Gina Rodriguez) has been convinced of two life truths owing it all to her overbearing grandmother Alba – first, that telenovelas are the highest form of entertainment; and second, that all women must protect their virginity at all costs. Now at 23, she is a driven young woman studying to become a teacher and a writer while supporting herself with a job at a new hotel in Miami.

Jane the Virgin premieres on Sunday, October 19 at 9:05 p.m., First & Exclusive on Sony Channel.

Another exciting show is Madam Secretary that revolves around the life of Elizabeth McCord (Téa Leoni), the shrewd, determined, and brilliant former CIA analyst now working as a college professor. However, after a controversy that involves a plane crash, McCord returns to public service at the request of her old friend, and the current President of the United States (Keith Carradine).

Madam Secretary premieres on Thursday, October 16 at 9:05 p.m. first and exclusive at Sony Channel.

A new and romantic comedy will also have its premiere on Sony Channel.

Manhattan Love Story is a new romantic comedy based on this simple premise: The only way to maintain relationships—with lovers, spouses, family, co-workers, or friends—is to keep most of our thoughts to ourselves. Dana (Analeigh Tipton, Crazy, Stupid, Love) and Peter (Jake McDorman, Shameless) travel through the complicated terrain of modern-day relationship in this new romantic comedy.

The show has an extra dimension: the audience will hear Dana and Peter’s inner thoughts, highlighting the differences of men and women in dating and find out what they are really thinking when they say something.

Manhattan Love Story premieres on Sunday, Oct. 19, at 10p.m., First & Exclusive on Sony Channel.

Viewers will also be able to watch popular reality shows such as the “Minute to Win It” including exclusive musical specials.

Sony Channel is seen on SKYCable Channel 35, Cignal Digital TV Channel 60, Destiny Cable Channel 62, Cable Link Channel 39.
