- BY CHARLENE A. CAYABYAB Sun.Star Staff Reporter

CThe iconic educationa­l programs of Knowledge Channel are now available again in Mega Manila, Baguio, Naga, Metro Cebu, Iloilo, Davao, and Zamboanga to aid young Filipinos in their distance learning education this pandemic.

Viewers can access Knowledge Channel via BEAM DTT by simply doing a channel rescan on any digital TV box.

Dubbed as the “biggest classroom on-air,”ETV-pioneer Knowledge Channel will now reach over 10 million Pinoy households, providing them over 1,500 video lessons from Kinder to Grade 10 and the Alternativ­e Learning System and programs hosted by media personalit­ies such as Robi Domingo, Enchong Dee and MayMay Entrata, and online educators Lyqa Maravilla and Peter Esperanza through digital, cable, and direct-to-home satellite TV.

Knowledge Channel continues to bring quality learning to every Filipino child this school year 2021–2022. Educationa­l shows are available daily from 6 AM to 11 PM on Knowledge Channel on digital, cable, and direct-to-home satellite TV.

Meanwhile, video lessons for Grades 1 to 6 are also airing via A2Z weekdays from 7 to 9 AM. Preschoole­rs and their parents can also enjoy viewing Knowledge Channel's educationa­l shows, available for free on theAsianpa­rent Philippine­s app.

Students and teachers can also join School at Home's array of interactiv­e online programs on Kumu's SeenZone channel and Knowledge Channel's Facebook Page, weekdays at 11 AM.

The weekly lineup includes "Wikaharian Online World" every Monday, "Team Lyqa" every Tuesday, "Knowledge on the Go" and "MathDali's Math Talks" every Wednesday, "Money Lessons with FQ Mom and Sons" every Thursday, and "Art Smart with Teacher Precious" every Friday.

Through its "Stay at Home, Learn at Home" campaign launched last year, Knowledge Channel has allowed learners in over 7 million households to continue learning from home during the pandemic despite the cancellati­on of face-to-face classes via ABSCBN TVplus, SKYdirect, and SKYcable.

It then shifted to its "School at Home" campaign to continue delivering its educationa­l programs online as the non-renewal of ABS-CBN's franchise and cease-and-desist order issued to TVplus and SKYdirect narrowed down its r each.

These online efforts garnered various milestones, including a 150,000 follower mark on Facebook and a Silver Button award from YouTube, and the Outstandin­g CSR Project in Education award in the 2021 League of

Corporate Foundation­s CSR Guild Awards.
