Through its latest Christmas Special ID, Pasko Ang Pinakamagandang Kwento, ABS-CBN showcased its strong multi-platform presence and growing visibility on free television, through partnerships with various TV networks.
Aside through the most prized stars who remain loyal to the network, ABS-CBN is able to showcase its increasingly growing presence on multiple platforms, by featuring its biggest television partners, GMA, TV5 and A2Z (Zoe). Pasko Ang Pinakamagandang Kwento makes history for distinctively showcasing ABS-CBN’s strengthening partnerships with its previous free TV rivals. Other partnerships it built in the past three years, including PIE Channel (a partnership with various media companies and brands), Netflix, Viu, and Prime Video, are given proper highlights.
This year, alone, ABS-CBN’s web dramas made headlines and topped the ‘most watched list’ of several streaming and VOD platforms. Who did not lose their temper for Juliana, played brilliantly by Kim Chiu, in Linlang? That series made history by being the first Filipino series to enter Prime Video’s Top 10 in more than 30 countries. In the coming months, the Philippine adaptation of the hit Korean drama, What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, and judging the overwhelming response from local audience, it’s hard to believe the series won’t make it to headlines when it comes out.
Recently hit 46 million subscribers on YouTube, ABS-CBN Entertainment continues to remain unrivaled in the digital realm. Kapamilya Online Live, which streams current and previous Kapamilya shows, is still virtually unopposed in the online concurrent viewership game, a testament to the network’s solidifying stronghold in the digital world.
That strength is also vividly reflected by the year’s Kapamilya CSID, which proved how ABS-CBN kept its position as the premier starbuilder in the country, despite the tragedies it faced in the last three years.
