60 Years of Being on Top of the Broadcasting Niche

ABS-CBN is a local Philippine channel which aired for 60 years, the first of its kind in the country. With the mindset of a pioneer, its head honchos and contributing workforce were able to extend its lead not just in television broadcast but as well as in the world of radio, print, film and merchandise. As proof of its excellence in broadcast media with a lasting commitment to the improvement of the lives of Filipinos, abs cbn has never shied itself away from numerous recognitions here and abroad.



One of a Kind Show Line Up

When a normal viewer gets to see a part of him/her in the characters involved in daily shows, they’d stick to the tube; this became the hallmark of abs cbn programs. Another advantage that can be said is the perfect harmony and timing of light to heavy programming evenly distributed within the course of the day. If one is to review its schedule, they may see that aside from balanced, their format is also full of risks and innovations. In their morning line up, an early talk show is bannered before the usual children's programming. Abs cbn also has a current affairs program in the late afternoon, hours early from the normal primetime or late night schedule.

If you feel like switching from mellow to heavy, ABS CBN news programs are just as exceptional.  They have a late night documentary which focuses on the behind the scenes of news gathering; a late afternoon weekend program that explores crime stories leading to how the local police had managed to solve each case, and for the record, they are the only channel as of current that has a show with a leaning into determining different paranormal mysteries.


The Other Media

It is factual knowledge that before the advent of television, radio was the king of broadcast media. ABS CBN, never contented to become just a sole TV innovator also ventured into the world of radio wherein its official am station, being heard all over Luzon, is undisputed number one in its reach. AM was changed forever after the management finally decided to put up abs cbn radio stations in Visayas and Mindanao to cater to the people from different regions. As of current, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo and Palawan are the locations of its local am stations. But ABS CBN was never contained with just local programming, it soon expanded worldwide.


A Local Company Turned Global

Why conquer the world? The only reason is that the company has crafted strategies to keep OFW’s eyes stuck into abs cbn programs despite the relative distance from far away home. People say that all the information that mankind needs is already at the palm of his hands, but even before this great era came to be, abs cbn’s The Filipino Channel already crossed boundaries of space by providing entertainment worldwide. TFC’s greatest aim was to connect lives separated by overseas work, giving our modern day heroes a VIP treatment to battle homesickness.
