December 26, 2003 (Philippine Daily Inquirer, page 22)

WITH the New Year comes changes at IBC-13.

The new station ID has a "less is more" approach, the new logo design of a much simpler square with red square for sports, green for entertainment, and blue for news and public affairs. It complements the network's new identity of a more dynamic, irreverent, honest and and straightforward programming.

IBC-13 relaunched three of its news and public affairs programs, Express Balita, IBC News Tonight and Entrepinoy.

Aired from Monday to Friday, 4:30 p.m., with Precious Hipolito-Catelo, the new Express Balita now has a new set, computer graphics, and segments. But it remains fast-paced, in-depth, straightforward, unbiased and varied. IBC News Tonight, Monday to Friday 10:30 p.m., anchored by Dennis Principe rounds up the various events for the day with an actual account of all the details. Entrepinoy, Tuesdays, 9 p.m., introduces new segments to the popular business-oriented show geared towards laymen.

A new host has joined CelebrityDATCom, Thursdays, 9:30 p.m. with TJ Manotoc and sexy comedienne Maureen Larrazabal.
