PASADENA – ChimeTV, the only Asian-owned TV network in English showcasing API programming, is joining the Society 1 umbrella of companies. Media mogul Takashi Cheng will serve as ChimeTV’s new top executive, following founder Faith Bautista’s departure.
Society 1 is no stranger to media roll-ups. Last year, they announced a strategic investment into Character Media who has produced the longest standing API awards show Unforgettable Gala. Prior to this, Society 1 initiated a roadmap with GoldenTV, an API-centric streaming platform and corresponding professional community designed to logically connect stakeholders and deliver original content to subscribers. GoldenTV launched earlier this year across most major OTT providers.
Spectrum TV Select® video tier. Under Cheng’s leadership, ChimeTV will focus on introducing new and original programming to subscribers across the globe. In addition, Society 1 will deploy capital to enhance ChimeTV’s existing technology infrastructure and accelerate their content acquisition strategy. “As Chief Creative Officer, my goal is to elegantly bridge the traditional cable viewership and the new generation of streamers by giving them differentiated API content through multiple conduits. Our ecosystem enables a more seamless transition between cable viewers and streamers,” adds Cheng.
ChimeTV’s announcement to join Society 1 comes as May, which is Asian Pacific Heritage Month, just finished, reflecting on a difficult year for the API community which has been plagued by an increase in hate crimes and bigotry. “Often times, people fear the unknown. By educating the masses about history, origins, culture and contributions, we can start the process of healing and foster a new era of understanding and acceptance,” said Bob Rose, president of ChimeTV.

Membership at Society 1 offers access to exclusive events and experiences, designed to enhance the presence, influence, and participation of Asian Americans in the most elite circles of society. Society 1 advocates for a sustained commitment to justice and ensures that people from historically marginalized communities are given a voice and platform.

Moira breaks silence...
“Jason and Moira are both Christians, but it seems like Jason is the only one faithful to the teachings of [Jesus] Christ. Yes, he did something wrong. But there was no third party on Jason’s side. He never fell in love with anyone else. His only sin was he listened to the call of flesh and availed of illicit massage service because Moira couldn’t fulfill his sexual needs.”
He furthered that before Hernandez could admit his sin, dela Torre wanted out of their relationship and the timing couldn’t be perfect since she had a reason to break up with Hernandez.
Go even dropped a hint about who the other guy was saying, “Someone who will ‘dance in the rain’ with her and call her ‘binibini.’ I’ll leave it to you to guess who I am referring to,” he said.
Netizens then concluded it was 21-year-old musician Zack Tabudlo.
Dela Torre in return said in her statement, “I did not cheat on Jason. It is unfair that I find myself in a position where I have to defend my name and even explain why I did not deserve to be cheated on.”
In ending, the artist shared that her “focus is on the path towards healing, as the weight of trauma still lingers heavily in [her] heart.”
“This process is not only essential for my own well-being but also for the well-being of those dear to me who have unwaveringly stood by my side throughout these challenging times – my loving family, my dedicated band, my friends, who have all been my source of emotional support. Their presence has been my anchor, grounding me during these turbulent moments,” she wrote.
“I hold onto hope that, one day, when the dust settles and clarity is restored, I will have the capacity to embrace a love that is faithful and genuine. I take solace in the knowledge that I am Moira-an artistwho will bravely navigate these challenges and emerge stronger than ever,” she concluded.
Dela Torre and Hernandez married in January 2019. In May 2022, the two decided to call it quits through a joint statement where Hernandez admitted that he had been “unfaithful” to dela Torre during their marriage. g

Takashi Cheng explains, “We have a healthy audience of nearly 20 million eyeballs across all our companies. Each media asset has a unique connection to the other, but all are unified in their commitment to raising the profile of API content and propelling API creators.”
ChimeTV received major recognition after inking a deal with Charter Communications, Inc., which operates the Spectrum brand of Internet, TV, Mobile and Voice services, and carries ChimeTV on its
Cheng’s experience speaks for itself. He got his start in entertainment during the Writer’s Guild of America Strike of 2007. Since then, he’s penned and produced more than two dozen films and shows. Throughout the years, Cheng has been vocal about his will to tell stories from across the Asian diaspora and break the norms or traditions that often discourage API communities from sharing their truth.
