User blog:The Testcardiologist/UPC South Matamah April 2008

WIP

Point of view is April 2008. Telesat had been around for ten months now and only then it started to massively promote itself with a huge ad campaign. The provider wars now had new players and they were more keen on the new kids rather than giving Asulcabo the attention it deserved. At the same time Asulcabo forcibly buys three regional cable operators in an attempt to become more powerful.

UPC was one of the extant companies that seemed to, by this time, align itself more with the new kids on the block rather than Asulcabo, which was on the verge of revitalization. Using synergies with Talcia's VTR (which Liberty owned a majority stake since 1996), a new channel line-up was put in place in 2005. Also, UPC had broken Viacom's exclusivity contract forcing the provider to share its channel catalog with Asulcabo.

Even more important than what was mentioned above was the rise of high definition, after a false start in 2005 with HD1, the operators are eyeing for the new technology. UPC thought that their system was going to be attractive. And it was. They also got a new logo.
