WE just finished recording Episode 10 of hackenslash: the podcast a few hours ago, with ABS-CBN Multimedia head Mitch Padua as our “Hot Seat” guest.
Apart from talking to me and my co-host Alex Villafania about gaming, Mitch had interesting things to share about the upcoming portal from ABS-CBN known as Amped.ph. While gaming will be one of the offerings, the overall direction is to make it a full-blown digital entertainment site, with music downloads, mobile content and other services. By the way, Aimee Marcos will be the one in charge of the music initiatives, according to Mitch.
I won’t spoil the surprise — listen to Episode 10 once it’s online — but it’s interesting how ABS-CBN plans to leverage its traditional media content in order to complement the multimedia services it will offer on Amped.ph, including an iTunes-like service. Stay tuned.
