IBC-13 enters the primetime fantaserye battle with its first fantasy series about the mermaid

PHILIPPINES, JANUARY 7, 2014 - As the primetime block composed of drama and fantasy series, IBC-13 will attempt to change the landscape of Philippine programming with its first fantaserye, Janella in Wonderland premiere last night. The fantasy series, which airs weeknights at 7:45pm after Express Balita, starring the teen actress Janella Salvador in her first title role, along with the powerhouse cast which includes Marlo Mortel, Angelu de Leon, Bobby Andrews, Andrei Felix and Bettina Carlos with Kat Alano as Calissa.

At fights glance, Janella in Wonderland is produced by IBC-13, will affect the new weeknight programming to join the fantaserye race and could be as the Pinoy mermaid because of the series will focus about mermaids and sea creatures. The fantasy series is directed by Jeffrey Jeturian and Paco Sta. Maria. IBC-13 appears bend on giving ABS-CBN and GMA serious competition for adviertisers. It posed a high 31.1% rating nationwide compared to their fantaseryes battled are Honesto (29.0%) and Adarna (12.0%), based on Kantar Media/TNS and landing in the top 25 programs for the day nationwide in the Kantar ratings (with IBC-13 programs on the list aside from PBA on Saturday and Sunday, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, Maya Loves Sir Chief and T.O.D.A.S. on Saturday nights, Born to be a Superstar on Sunday and Express Balita on weeknights), the series premiere has drummed up interest from viewers, gaining some of the thunder from ABS-CBN's family drama-fantasy Honesto and GMA's fantasy drama Adarna.

How IBC-13 intends to keep up its pace by fielding young lead talents is in itself a show worth watching out for.

IBC-13 used to enjoy the top view among the five television stations until the EDSA Revolution in 1986. It suffered numerous problems, including labor unrest, since then prompting the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) to prepare its eventual privatization. But in 1996. the station's climed from fifth to the third place in the rankings among the five VHF (Very High Frequency) stations at the same point.
