Exclusive hourly ONE FC programming to broadcast weekly on IBC-13

The Asia's largest mixed martial arts (MMA) organization ONE Fighting Championship (ONE FC), in cooperation with Asian Television Content Corporation and its President Rey Sanchez has agreed to signed a blockbuster deal with Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC-13), one of the largest media organizations in the Philippines. As part of the agreement, The Kapinoy Network will broadcast one hour of ONE FC programming every Saturday at 6:00PM every week with the best Asian mixed martial artists and world champions on the largest media broadcast in Asia. .

IBC-13, whose tagline and corporate slogan is Kapinoy ng Bagong Pilipino, is one of the leading television networks in the Philippines. It is the country's number 3 television station that began broadcast in 1960. Headquartered in Quezon City, their programming features several sports shows ranging from basketball like the PBA and NBA, and boxing from Manny Pacquiao and the Filipino flash Nonito Donaire, as well as a mix of local news and current affairs, children's educational shows, high-quality entertainment within the local productions from dramas, fantasy, comedy, variety shows, talk shows, game shows, reality shows, Japanese animes, Mexican telenovelas, Asian dramas from Korea and Taiwan, and showing Tagalog blockbuster movies. The Kapinoy Network offers their programming free to viewers, thus the reach of the deal has a much greater impact than that of a pay channel TV deal. The number 3 station IBC-13 is well regarded for their line up of television, bringing a multitude of sports programming in addition to their news and current affairs, children's educational programs and high-quality entertainment shows.

“On behalf of ONE Fighting Championship, I will like to warmly welcome back IBC-13 as the broadcast partner and thank their Channel 13 head Rey Sanchez for being such a strong supporter,” said Victor Cui, ONE FC CEO. “IBC-13 is a fantastic free-to-air broadcaster in the Philippines and ONE FC is excited at the opportunity to showcase our fighters every week to millions of homes throughout the country.”
