Abregado-Rae Holo-vision Network

HK-36

The Iron Lord Protector (Neutral Good)
Corporation Name: Abregado-Rae Holo-vision Network
Headquarters: Abregado-Rae, Capital City
Locations: Broadcasting from Abregado-Rae
Operations: Broadcast shows, news, and movies for purpose of journalism and entertainment
Rationale: Abregado-Rae has always had their own holo-vision network, dedicated to planet-specific news and announcements. Once HK took over as the head of the planet's government he took over its holo-vision network as well, increasing their budget through funds from his Iron Chef Fine Meats and Stakes company.
Tier: Tier 2 (Very important and relevant on Abregado-Rae, not as popular in the Protectorate territory although still listed as one of their major holo-vision networks, and in the rest of the Galaxy it's that weird obscure foreign channel that you may watch from time to time just because the alien commercials and shows are so obtuse that it makes them entertaining)
Description: A subsidiary to Iron Chef's Fine Meats and Rations, Abregado-Rae Holo-vision is a station dedicated to journalism and entertainment of the Abregado-Rae population. Throughout changes in Abregado-Rae government, and increase in their funding under newest regime of their mechanical Overseer, ARHN maintained the same format of providing news coverage, every day at 7 and 19 there is a 30-minute news broadcast in which the reporters go over major events on Abregado-Rae and galaxy at large, due to time constraints the journalists only report the events and do not comment on them, making the journalism on Abregado very objective. There is another newscast, at 17, called the News-Express, which lasts 15-minutes and includes only highlights of the events and only few are described in detail. News-Express also covers a minor event of their choice, such as baking the biggest MRE on Abregado-Rae, or 50th anniversary of a business running, as well as anniversaries of beginning of careers of musicians throughout the Galaxy, like anniversary of publishing first records or albums, or giving first concerts. Should there ever sudden cataclysm arrive, or there is breaking news of great importance, ARHN holds right to interrupt any program they are currently running to give an appropriate announcement.

While HK stayed out of meddling with the way journalism was being done on Abregado-Rae, not something he complained about anyway, he made plenty of appearances in advertisements and shows being released on ARHN. The advertisements are always done in creative, and sometimes very weird ways, most likely featuring HK in them. Two examples of ARHN commercials was a gum commercial seen in Brains, Brains Its Okay! it featured two flying Ropos with rainbows trailing behind them as HK spoke to the camera holding up the pack of gum, or the commercial for an electro-glove seen in Breaking MRE's with two Ropos, floating like clouds above HK, with lightning shooting out of their eyes as the droid had the glove activated. Many of other ARHN commercials hold similar droid and ropo-centric theme, most likely contributing to HK's popularity among the citizens of the planet, that and the holo-shows he has funded.

There are many entertaining shows and movies aired by ARHN, here is a list of some of them,
On Iron Skillet With Iron Knight- A talk-show hosted by HK in which he invites guest for interviews or to show their talents while he provides comical monologues.
Cooking Time With Iron Chef- A morning show in which HK shows the viewer how to do recipes found throughout the Galaxy.
Game of Trees- Show for adult audiences centered about politics of Ewok clans on Endor, very complicated and very, very bloody politics. There's also many sex scenes featuring the fuzzy natives of Forest Moon.
The YV-929- A short-lived show about the freighter Vagabondbuttefly and its crew, while gaining great ratings the show was dis-continued after its first season.
The Hammer of the Gods- Set in a fictional fantastical setting, this gruesome live-action show centers about stories in the darkness of space where there is only war. It features bloody combat and epic battles, human knights clad in heavy powerful armor and modified since birth, elves and faeries flying in ships with sails, masses of gruesome creatures, undead machine abominations bent on destroying all life, and cultists serving dark gods. Good stuff, based on anything anybody ever experienced alongside Siobhan Kerrigan.
The Darkness I Saw- A documentary series based on the campaigns of Protectorate against Bando-Gora, its live-action sequences are broken with interviews with veterans and footage from actual battles.
My Little Ropo: Fluffness Is Magic, But Good Kind Of Magic, Not Sith Sorcery Magic- This morning-cartoon has spawned a cult-following among children, praised for its educational values and good writing. It has also spawned an actual cult among adult Sith, a dark organization called the Bropos.
The Misadventures of The Iron Knight and The Ever-Colonel Kerrigan- Another morning-cartoon, based on a mix of fictional and factual adventures Siobhan and HK had during the Bando Gora Campaign and beyond. While staying in context of battles and wars, the show has been praised for its use of shadows and drastic light changes to convey violence without showing actual gore and the comedic interactions between Siobhan and HK help convey the show's serious messages to younger audiences.
Cosmos Battles: The Vong Wars- An animated series for more mature audiences set in context of the Vong Galactic Invasion. It picked up after the second season.
Spawn Meets Universe- A long running comedy about a young Sith learning how to live in the Galaxy after the collapse of the Sith Empire under tutelage of his master Darth Feenicus. HK guest stars in the second season as Iron Knight Turnah, a radical speederbike-riding, leather-jacket-wearing Jedi with passion in xeno-linguistics.
Ever-Expanding History of Abregado-Rae- A documentary program centered about history of Abregado-Rae with close ties to the archaeological projects HK has funded on the planet to recover traces of Gados' cultural identity. The program does not have a fixed scheduled, often airing re-runs of their episodes as the new ones are produced with new discoveries being made.
Bolo-Ball: Abregado-Rae League- A show centered about Abregado-Rae favorite pass-time, bolo-ball, showing tournaments and exhibition matches around the planet as well as interviews with major players and coaches.

And many more!
