PTV 4 GEN. MGR. Dino Apolonio partners with PKEI (Philippine-Korean Entertainment, Inc.) to air the romantic Koreanovela, “Rosy Lovers” and the acclaimed historical Koreanovela, “The Legendary Doctor”. “This is our first attempt at entertainment TV aside concentrate on news and public affairs, children and educational and sports programs,” he says. Is it true that Kris Aquino might have a show with them? “No, it’s not. We cannot afford her. May balita ring the Tulfos will move to us, also not true, except for Ben Tulfo who’s now doing ‘Kilos Pronto’ with us with Alex Santos.”

He had the plans of clashing head on with ABS-CBN, GMA and IBC. PTV 4 is started ro gain its foothold and made into No. 4 in viewership. “We’re a state owned station so iba ang mandate namin kaysa sa commercial networks. What we’re doing now is to reformat our newscast, with a new logo and new graphics. We’re also trying to improve our signal. Before our transmitter was operating at only about 50% so we increased to 90% and we also purchased six digital transmitters to improve our transmission throughout the country. It’s a work in progress.”
