Despite the pandemic and unrenewed franchise of ABS CBN, the Kapamilya network is not stopping in bringing quality primetime series closer to their viewers.
ABS-CBN and WeTV Iflix announced a groundbreaking collaboration taking the Kapamilya network’s Primetime Bida programs to the two streaming sites with early access for its subscribers.
ABS CBN executive and Chief Operating Officer for Broadcast, Cory Vidanes can’t help but be overjoyed for the wider reach of audiences that this partnership will be giving to ABS CBN.
“Were most grateful to WeTV Iflix for this new and exciting partnership. Our content in your platform will give us the opportunity to reach us more audiences as ABS CBN remains committed to continuing serving the Filipino.”
On the other hand, Chairman of ABS CBN Corporation Mark Lopez stressed the importance of this alliance, which is the platform that WeTV Iflix gave them during this COVID-19 Pandemic.
“In this age of collaboration, it is important for content creators like ABS CBB to be in a lot of platforms because that’s the new behavior it is right now. So, thank you for giving us the opportunity to carry our content in your platform.”
ABS CBN’s collaboration with WeTV Iflix expands the online coverage of the Kapamilya network’s select programs.
WeTV and Iflix VIP users will be able to watch episodes of all three ABS-CBN shows which are FPJ’s: Ang Probinsyano, Huwag Kang Mangamba, and Init Sa Magdamag.
Another feature of this partnership is that viewers may be able to watch two days before they air on TV. They will also be available for free viewing two to three hours after they have aired on free television.
Lastly, Carlo Katigbak, President and Chief Executive Officer of ABS CBN Corporation is thankful for the opportunity that WeTV Iflix has given to the network.
“On behalf of ABS CBN we would like to thank WeTV Iflix for choosing to partner with us you are a valuable ally in making our shows available to a wider audience as well as in the global arena.”
Despite the crisis, ABS-CBN found new ways to serve Filipinos through its extensive digital migration, which included taking its extensive content library to free live streaming through Kapamilya Online Live and on-demand streaming through iWantTFC.
