The Kapinoy Network goes established networks

April 27, 2013

In these IBC classic shows are Takeshi's Castle, sitcom Iskul Bukol, TODAS, Chicks to Chicks, showbiz talk show Seeing Stars with Joe Quirino, musical variety show The Sharon Cuneta Show and so much more, the name of The Kapinoy Network for Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) since in the past 15 years, IBC remains the undisputed number 3 in the overall ratings behind leading networks ABS-CBN and GMA.

In history, IBC-13 is established by an american Dick Baldwin, until brought under the tri-media conglomerate of RMN-IBC-Philippine Herald headed by a Filipino-Spanish industrialist Andres Soriano in the 1960. The buyout is in response of sensationalized coverage of a Philippine Airlines (PAL) crash of Lopez's CBN (which the said mentality is applied even today). During Martial Law, one of the Marcos' cronies, Roberto S. Benedicto, bought IBC from Soriano and metamorphosed into one of the country's most viewed TV network with its primetime lineup and full length local and foreign films aired on this channel. After the People Power, the network was sequestered by the government under Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG). During sequestration, mismanagement and rising operating, causing IBC to become insufficient and nonviable to mainstream TV market. In 1994, IBC tried to convince advertisers with a hypnotism of nationalism embarked on a station ID.
