IBC 13 and Viva Entertainment entered into a co-production agreement recently. The deal has resulted in a new entertainment fare on prime time TV, which Viva dubbed as the Big Breakout this month.

• Sine Komiks airs Sundays at 7 p.m., with such movies as “Sana Ikaw Na Nga,” “Paano Tatakasan ang Bukas” and “Muling Buksan ang Puso.”

• Sports enthusiasts are expected to be glued to their TV sets at 8 tonight for “World Open 8 Ball Championship.”

• Once a month, “By Request,” a musical variety show, will help music lovers reminisce the good ol’ days, with music from the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s.

• The network’s afternoon and evening newscasts have also undergone a make-over. “IBC Express Balita” airs 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, with new anchorperson Jake Morales. “IBC News Tonite,” 10:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, also gets a boost with a new anchor, Zora Andam.
