RIP Hero TV

Yup Hero TV's gone and Filipino Anime and Tokusatsu fans are BETTER off without it. I may not be so big with either Anime or Tokusatsu but I'm glad this stupid network is gone. So what killed it?

Doing business means you need both QUALITY and QUANTITY. Hero TV has very limited choices. Instead of airing more new shows that they could they usually keep re-airing Anime and Tokusatsu shows that Filipinos kept watching when they were 90s children. By doing so, they are only keeping the old audience UNTIL they get pretty bored. What about a new batch of audiences? Customer loyalty is important but how sure you that old customers will always have it?

There will always be the problem of taste fatigue. Let's say you watched these really good series but would you like to watch them over and over again? There's always the need for diversification or you don't get anything done. If the same restaurant offers the same foods without any diversification then how can it invite new customers? Some loyal customers may momentarily take a nice long break seeking for other restaurants. It's just like my experience that after I've eaten a lot of quality Korean food and Japanese food that I go back to eating quality Filipino food.

Hero TV wasn't thinking long term. They never thought that after a 12 year run that they would still be standing. Businesses have to keep evolving or perish. A good example is how the telecommunication companies evolve and other businesses want to hit the international market. By refusing to evolve from their current state - Hero TV condemned itself to its own death.

RIP Hero TV you'll never be missed!
