Radio Philippines Network (RPN)
History
Edit
As the Kanlaon Broadcasting System (1960-1975)
Edit
RPN was launched and granting the first broadcasting franchise on June 29, 1960 as
the Kanlaon Broadcasting System (KBS). Kanlaon is a volcano on the Philippine island
of Negros, the home of Benedicto. Once granted, KBS first became a radio network with its first
radio station in Manila, DZBI. In 1967, KBS had grown into a full network, with seven radio
stations all over the country namely, DZRR and DZAX in Manila, DZAH and DZBS in Baguio,
DZTG in Tuguegarao, DZRL in Laoag, and DXDX in General Santos.
In 1969, KBS turned to television as KBS Television was launched with KBS-9 Manila and KBS12 Baguio as its first stations. Help and funding for the new TV network partly came from ABSCBN in the form of its old headquarters along Roxas Boulevard and equipment from Toshiba
enabling them to broadcast in color. As a result, on its launch it was named Accucolor
9 ("Accucolor" is the name of the color technology used) as the first Philippine television
network to launch in full color. In 1970, KBS also acquired an Color-ready Outside Broadcast
Van for the remote broadcasts of major news events and sports coverages.
As the Radio Philippines Network, early successes (1975-1986)
Edit
In 1974, KBS formally re-launched as RPN, the Radio Philippines Network (the RPN name was
first used in the provincial stations before the RPN brand would later be used for the Manila
station as well). It aired special coverages of theOlympics, Thrilla in Manila (in 1975) and
the Miss Universe; and programs such as John en Marsha, Flordeluna, Superstar. RPN became
the first home of the daytime variety show Eat Bulaga! (premiering in 1979). RPN became also
a popular and most watched longest running Game show on Philippine television Family Kwarta
o Kahon hosted by Pepe Pimentel originaly aired on ABS-CBN then BBC-2 the show is run for
almost 3 decades until ended in the year 2000. RPN also pioneered the TV newscasting as they
launched the first ever newspaper-format nightly newscast titled NewsWatch. The network also
pioneered the use of computer graphics for their program plugs and station IDs.
RPN became one of the first Philippine television stations also aired anime programming
(making them one of the first to do so in the country), including Macross, Voltes
V, Astroboy and Starblazers and imported and syndicated programs from the United States.
RPN-9 is the first network to cover the Philippine Basketball Association games live in 1976,
before the broadcasts moved on to BBC-2.
In 1980, RPN-9 began to broadcast primetime programs and Eat Bulaga (when it was still with
the network) through its new domestic satellite (DOMSAT) technology in which the 1980s logo
resembles a satellite antenna.[2] The network also became home to, from 1978 up to the early
1980s, the Super Sentai series (making it the first in the Philippines to do so, becoming a
pioneer in broadcasting tokusatsu and sentaiprograms in the country in the process).
These made it a reason for the network in 1982 to adopt The Leader as its official slogan,
coupled with its Number 9 and the red corporate logos, due to its massive successes as the
nation's number one network.
Government sequestration and New Vision 9 (1986-1994)
Edit
Although by the 1980s RPN was the country's premier TV network, the late 1980s saw RPN's
fortunes taking a turn for the worse. After the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, the stock
and assets of RPN, IBC andBanahaw Broadcasting Corporation were sequestered by
the Presidential Commission on Good Government(PCGG). President Corazon Aquino awarded
BBC's Channel 2 frequency and its affiliates, through an executive order, to ABS-CBN, and
RPN's and IBC's assets were turned over to the Government Communications Group. During
this period, RPN's saw a ratings nosedive after GMA Radio-Television Arts, which had rose as
the leader in 1986, and PTV, another government-owned network, performed strongly after
playing a vital role in the EDSA Revolution, causing its ratings to slump, thus tarnishing RPN's
popularity.
Worse yet, one of its old rivals, ABS-CBN, which had a lackluster performance upon its
reopening, experienced an unprecedented resurgence and consequently, clinched the number
one spot in 1988, causing RPN to fall to 4th place. During the post-EDSA Revolution era, RPN
launched the first Filipino-created animated series Ang Panday. By 1989, some of RPN's
programming such as John en Marsha, Student Canteen, and Superstar were canceled,
and TAPE's daytime programs Eat Bulaga!, Agila. and Coney Reyes on Camera (a coproduction with Coney Reyes' CAN Television) moved under a co-production agreement
to ABS-CBN, as they saw the resurgent network as a vital element in the sustaining of the three
shows' success. During this period, it was already clear that RPN was losing its status as a
premier broadcaster, resulting in its The Leader slogan to lose its purpose.
In 1989, the network relaunched as "New Vision 9" (but maintained "Radio Philippines Network"
as the network's legal name), but the relaunch failed, as it later fell into another ratings slump
due the continued resurgence and expansion of ABS-CBN and the recent re-launch of GMA
Radio-Television Arts as GMA Network, Inc., but the reformatting positively resulted in another
first for Philippine television as it became the first to go into 24-hour broadcasting.
Turnaround and second decline (1994-2007)
Edit
In 1994, New Vision 9 was reverted back to RPN and in the same year, RPN became the
television channel to broadcast programs in full stereo. In 1996, though, the network quickly regained its footing when it began to broadcast a Tagalog dub of the Mexican telenovela Marimar,
which quickly became a popular program for the network, and setting the trend for a few years.
The two top networks ABS-CBN and GMA Network were forced to include telenovelas to
programming lineup. Also, around this time, RPN introduced Dragon Ball Z to the Philippines.
From then, RPN established itself as the Philippine home network for the best in English
programming and telenovelas, coupled with blockbuster movies. By the mid-2000s, however, a
massive network war between all networks and the meteoric rise of Asianovelas (which was
started by ABS-CBN in 2003 withMeteor Garden) caused another era of decline for RPN.
Partnership with Solar
Edit
File:CS9.jpg
Hoping to reverse its fortunes, RPN sought a partner to help reverse its worsening status. On
March 11, 2007, RPN began a partnership with the Solar Entertainment Corporation, an
operator of a number of cable channels in the country. The company began co-producing new
programming for the network, such as a local version of the Next Top Model franchise.
The network underwent management changes on December 24, 2007, as Tonypet Albano
(undersecretary and executive director of Malacaang's Office of Political Coalition Affairs and
Deputy Spokesperson of TEAM Unity) was appointed chairman of the network (replacing
Education Undersecretary Mona Valisno, incumbent Presidential Assistant for Education).
Undersecretary Robert Rivera was appointed director of the board, while the president and chief
executive officer became former senator Orlando Mercado.[3]
Mercado's first major move was to expand their partnerships with Solar Entertainment.
Programming from Solar's cable network C/S was added to RPN's lineup at the beginning of the
new year, and PBA basketball would also return to the network beginning in the 2008-09
season, as part of Solar Sports' new three-year deal with the league after an intense bidding
war with ABS-CBN.[4][5]
In October 2008, RPN's stations ultimately took on the C/S name as part of their permanent
branding, and rebranded itself as C/S 9. The C/S 9 name would not last, on November 29,
2009, the network re-branded again under the new name Solar TV. In late 2010, it was
revealed that RPN would no longer carry PBA games, due to planned re-launch to occur in
2011, with more "feminine" programming.[6]
Privatization
Edit
In 2010, the Philippine government began to actively consider privatizing RPN and IBC. Ricardo
Abcede, member of the Presidential Commission on Good Government, supported the plans,
noting that the government should not need to subsidize three state broadcasters when most
countries only have one, and could gain a significant profit if they were sold to a major company
willing to invest in the stations.[7]
In January 2011, reports confirmed that Solar Entertainment and Roberto Benedicto's daughter
Kitchie Benedicto now owned a 34% minority share in RPN.[8] Communications and Operation
Office secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. also began to hold meetings with the network's
employees union to discuss the financial state of RPN as part of the planned privatization.[9] On
February 22, 2011, RPN's employees filed a strike notice, protesting a rumored shutdown of
RPN on February 25, and accusing the government of attempting to privatize RPN without
actively consulting its employees.[9][10][11]
On February 25, 2011, RPN signed off. However, the sign-off was only in preparation for a
relaunch as ETC on March 2, 2011.[12] Additional shares in RPN were sold to Far East
Managers and Investors Inc. (FEMI), an organization company affiliated with Ambassador
Roberto Benedicto (founder of RPN), and the San Miguel Corporation. The government would
retain the People's Television Network to serve as the sole state broadcaster of the
country.[13][14] RPN is forced to 200 employees on October 29, 2012 as Solar TV takes over the
entire RPN's airtime.[15][16] In November 2013, San Miguel Corporation President and
COO Ramon S. Angdeclares interest in acquiring Solar Television Network and its stake on
RPN but instead acquire a minority stake on GMA Network. [17].
The 9TV Network
Edit
A public advisory was plugged, informing that ETC on RPN aired its final sign-off on March 31,
2013 will return to Southern Broadcasting Network (SBN) while Solar News Channel turned into
UHF channel 43 in DWBM-TV.
By March 30, 2013 on the test broadcast until resumed the operation as the commercial
operation television started at 7:00pm by switching on its 100-killowatt transmitter and a big
welcome party by the big stars of the network. ETC was ceased commercial operations with
ETC going to a cable TV channel when RPN-9 returned to the air on Mach 30, 2013 will
become part of Media ng Bayan. Cash and resources stretched to the limit, with offices being
made to double as dressing rooms and basics such as chairs, tables and phones in short supply
while RPN stars, personalities and employees start to return to RPN. Hence, RPN employees
as president and CEO Robert Rivera was brought in to rework the station's programming.
At the time, money had been scarce while resources were limited; offices were used as
dressing rooms and other equipment such as chairs, tables, and phones were in more supply.
The network was forced to share space in the building that was rightfully their own with the
sequesterd TV station Channel 13.
RPN acquired a new franchise to operate under Republic Act 7831 signed by President Noynoy
Aquino III on nationwide satellite broadcasting in over 34 regional TV stations nationwide and
creating with RPN's Radyo Ronda in the radio broadcasts for the AM radio stations DZKB
Radyo Ronda 1422. The radio counterpart 99.5 Play FM, RPN's FM radio station entered a
partnership with Real Radio Network Inc. launched at the same time of the network. RPN took
over the management of Real Radio Network, Inc. stations; relaunched as the FM radio station
on April 1, 2013 as 99.5 Play FM.
In a surge of phenomenal growth, RPN earned a reputation as The Kasama Network among the
ranks of the strong number 3 in the overall TV network rating challenge the dominance of the
broadcast industry leaders with a programming that combines the America's certified hits, hit
telenovelas, asianovelas, animes and all station-produced local programs. Its creativity and
innovation have resulted in numerous long-running program successes on the challenge of
revolutionizing the broadcast landscape including a stronger of local news and public affairs
programs, high-quality entertainment, the broadcast equipment, and the acquisition of broadcast
rights of the two basketball leagues such as the Metropolitan Basketball Association games.
Additionally, the network also launched a new advertising campaign and slogan, Kasama Ako!,
which the new lineup as being more distinct being aired by its competitors at the time
successfully regained its dominance of the intense competition ABS-CBN and GMA.
With the other TV networks focusing on other forms of entertainment, RPN made the anim
series that including Dragon Ball Z, Yu-Gi-Oh! and K-On! in the surgence of anime on Philippine
television. The network gained popularity with a hit telenovela Rosalinda and a
Koreanovela Dream High. The top networks are ABS-CBN, GMA Network, IBC and TV5 forced
to include telenovelas, animes and asianovelas to their programming lineup. In

in their respective categories to widen its telecast.
As of December 2, 2013, the network is launched with a new format of tele-radyo programming
with feed fromDZKB Radyo Ronda 1422 for their own TeleRadyo during the weekday slots. The
apparent behind the simulcast of Radyo Rodna programs is to compensate for the lack of
original programming, the broadcast of its cable music channel MTV Asia during 7:00am to
8:30am and 12:30am to 1:30am and came up with intensified programming led by the popular
TV reality shows American Idol, Survivor and America's Next Top Model, and several top rate

Controversies
Edit
In recent years, RPN has been involved in several controversies involving its subsidiaries and
programming.
Burning the fire of Broadcast City hit the basement
Edit
The network's basement of Broadcast City was on fire around 9:00pm around Saturday evening
at the date on February 22, 2014, temporarily knocking off powers in building and interrupting
when the people is angry and mad at the killing of technical operation to broke out the
privatization of the Philippine government.
We are currently assessing the damage that has temporarily affected our operations. We assure
our viewers and the public that measures are being taken to restore normal operations and the
planned privatization at the possible time affecting its operation and even its rumored TV
reception, could this benefit rival networks in the Kantar Media ratings.
Several electrical panels were burned and firemen had to use breathing apparatus to put out the
blaze in the second level parking basement, said Col. Samuel Tadeo, deputy district fire
marshal in Quezon City in a power supply was cut off in the whole building are reported
toinjured but the fire caused power outage in the building in Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City,
as well as technical problem with the network's operation consider the fight of privatization of th
sequestered broadcast firms like RPN and IBC are hitting.
Fire its the absement of RPN studios in Broadcast City was shoot in fire to fake RPN
management and directors experiencing technical difficulties at the soonest possible time.
Police Rubout at Broadcast City
Edit
It later became famous after exposing a police rubout on March 21, 2014 at 11:00pm on the
evening when it became the media company under the Media ng Bayan to cover a police rubout
incident right in front of its broadcast building to shot the gun in Broadcast City, Old Balara,
Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City, an industrial section in the city of Mega Manila at which is
the privatization them caught in the act of firing extra shots at car passengers murdered by
the Philippine National Police.
The PNP claimed it was a shootout against carjackers. However, there was too much evidence
to the contrary as it was in fact a broadcast rubout. This is substantiated by several eyewitnesses, including a video recording from RPN (a local sequestered TV station who happened
to be filming at the time), to forensic reports, and the evidence that has yet to unfold.
The Kasama Network proved it was a rubout and also recorded the cops planting guns and
stolen license plates in the trunk of the sedan, before calling the media. They shot to kill the
privatization efforts of the studios and had no interest in saving their lives. RPN's footage
became the vital evidence and accidents for a case filed on the Philippines' Commission on
Human Rights.

History
Edit
As the Kanlaon Broadcasting System (1960-1975)
Edit
RPN was launched and granting the first broadcasting franchise on June 29, 1960 as
the Kanlaon Broadcasting System (KBS). Kanlaon is a volcano on the Philippine island
of Negros, the home of Benedicto. Once granted, KBS first became a radio network with its first
radio station in Manila, DZBI. In 1967, KBS had grown into a full network, with seven radio
stations all over the country namely, DZRR and DZAX in Manila, DZAH and DZBS in Baguio,
DZTG in Tuguegarao, DZRL in Laoag, and DXDX in Dadiangas.
In 1969, KBS turned to television as KBS Television was launched with KBS-9 Manila and KBS12 Baguio as its first stations. Help and funding for the new TV network partly came from ABSCBN in the form of its old headquarters along Roxas Boulevard and equipment from Toshiba
enabling them to broadcast in color. As a result, on its launch it was namedAccucolor
9 ("Accucolor" is the name of the color technology used) as the first Philippine television
network to launch in full color. In 1970, KBS also acquired an Color-ready Outside Broadcast
Van for the remote broadcasts of major news events and sports coverages.
As the Radio Philippines Network, early successes (1975-1986)
Edit
In 1974, KBS formally re-launched as RPN, the Radio Philippines Network (the RPN name was
first used in the provincial stations before the RPN brand would later be used for the Manila
station as well). It aired special coverages of the Olympics,Thrilla in Manila (in 1975) and
the Miss Universe; and programs such as John en Marsha, Flordeluna, Superstar. RPN became
the first home of the daytime variety show Eat Bulaga! (premiering in 1979). RPN became also
a popular and most watched longest running Game show on Philippine television Family Kwarta
o Kahon hosted by Pepe Pimenteloriginaly aired on ABS-CBN then BBC-2 the show is run for
almost 3 decades until ended in the year 2000. RPN also pioneered the TV newscasting as they
launched the first ever newspaper-format nightly newscast titledNewsWatch. The network also
pioneered the use of computer graphics for their program plugs and station IDs, and after the
1973 fire that razed its first studios, moved to the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center in 1973 and to
its currentBroadcast City home in 1979.
RPN became one of the first Philippine television stations also aired anime programming
(making them one of the first to do so in the country), including Macross, Voltes
V, Astroboy and Starblazers and imported and syndicated programs from the United States.
RPN-9 is the first network to cover the Philippine Basketball Association games live in 1976,
before the broadcasts moved on to BBC-2.
In 1980, RPN-9 began to broadcast primetime programs and Eat Bulaga (when it was still with
the network) through its new domestic satellite (DOMSAT) technology in which the 1980s logo
resembles a satellite antenna.[2] This made RPN the first national network to achieve nationwide
program simulcasting via satellite.
The network also became home to, from 1978 up to the early 1980s, the Super Sentai series
(making it the first in the Philippines to do so, becoming a pioneer in
broadcasting tokusatsu and sentai programs in the country in the process). These made it a
reason for the network in 1982 to adopt The Leader as its official slogan, coupled with its
Number 9 and the red corporate logos, due to its massive successes as the nation's number
one network.
Government sequestration and New Vision 9 (1986-1994)
Edit
Although by the 1980s RPN was the country's premier TV network, the late 1980s saw RPN's
fortunes taking a turn for the worse. After the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, the stock
and assets of RPN, IBC and Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation were sequestered by
the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG). President Corazon
Aquino awarded BBC's Channel 2 frequency and its affiliates, through an executive order,
toABS-CBN, and RPN's and IBC's assets were turned over to the Government Communications
Group. During this period, RPN's saw a ratings nosedive after GMA Radio-Television Arts,
which had rose as the leader in 1986, and PTV, another government-owned network, performed
strongly after playing a vital role in the EDSA Revolution, causing its ratings to slump, thus
tarnishing RPN's popularity.
Worse yet, one of its old rivals, ABS-CBN, which had a lackluster performance upon its
reopening, experienced an unprecedented resurgence and consequently, clinched the number
one spot in 1988, causing RPN to fall to 4th place. During the post-EDSA Revolution era, RPN
launched the first Filipino-created animated series Ang Panday. By 1989, some of RPN's
programming such as John en Marsha, Student Canteen, and Superstar were canceled,
and TAPE's daytime programs Eat Bulaga!, Agila. and Coney Reyes on Camera (a coproduction with Coney Reyes' CAN Television) moved under a co-production agreement
to ABS-CBN, as they saw the resurgent network as a vital element in the sustaining of the three
shows' success. During this period, it was already clear that RPN was losing its status as a
premier broadcaster, resulting in its The Leader slogan to lose its purpose.
In 1989, the network relaunched as "New Vision 9" (but maintained "Radio Philippines Network"
as the network's legal name), but the relaunch failed, as it later fell into another ratings slump
due the continued resurgence and expansion of ABS-CBN and the recent re-launch of GMA
Radio-Television Arts as GMA Network, Inc., but the reformatting positively resulted in another
first for Philippine television as it became the first to go into 24-hour broadcasting.
Turnaround and second decline (1994-2007)
Edit
In 1994, New Vision 9 was reverted back to RPN and in the same year, RPN became the
television channel to broadcast programs in full stereo. In 1996, though, the network quickly regained its footing when it began to broadcast a Tagalog dub of the Mexican telenovela Marimar,
which quickly became a popular program for the network, and setting the trend for a few years.
The two top networks ABS-CBN and GMA Network were forced to include telenovelas to
programming lineup. Also, around this time, RPN introduced Dragon Ball Z to the Philippines.
From then, RPN established itself as the Philippine home network for the best in English
programming and telenovelas, coupled with blockbuster movies. By the mid-2000s, however, a
massive network war between all networks and the meteoric rise of Asianovelas (which was
started by ABS-CBN in 2003 with Meteor Garden) caused another era of decline for RPN.
Partnership with Solar
Edit
File:CS9.jpg
Hoping to reverse its fortunes, RPN sought a partner to help reverse its worsening status. On
March 11, 2007, RPN began a partnership with the Solar Entertainment Corporation, an
operator of a number of cable channels in the country. The company began co-producing new
programming for the network, such as a local version of the Next Top Model franchise.
The network underwent management changes on December 24, 2007, as Tonypet Albano
(undersecretary and executive director of Malacaang's Office of Political Coalition Affairs and
Deputy Spokesperson of TEAM Unity) was appointed chairman of the network (replacing
Education Undersecretary Mona Valisno, incumbent Presidential Assistant for Education).
Undersecretary Robert Rivera was appointed director of the board, while the president and chief
executive officer became former senator Orlando Mercado.[3]
Mercado's first major move was to expand their partnerships with Solar Entertainment.
Programming from Solar's cable network C/S was added to RPN's lineup at the beginning of the
new year, and PBA basketball would also return to the network beginning in the 2008-09
season, as part of Solar Sports' new three-year deal with the league after an intense bidding
war with ABS-CBN.[4][5]
In October 2008, RPN's stations ultimately took on the C/S name as part of their permanent
branding, and rebranded itself as C/S 9. The C/S 9 name would not last, on November 29,
2009, the network re-branded again under the new name Solar TV. In late 2010, it was
revealed that RPN would no longer carry PBA games, due to planned re-launch to occur in
2011, with more "feminine" programming.[6]
Privatization
Edit
In 2010, the Philippine government began to actively consider privatizing RPN and IBC. Ricardo
Abcede, member of the Presidential Commission on Good Government, supported the plans,
noting that the government should not need to subsidize three state broadcasters when most
countries only have one, and could gain a significant profit if they were sold to a major company
willing to invest in the stations.[7]
In January 2011, reports confirmed that Solar Entertainment and Roberto Benedicto's daughter
Kitchie Benedicto now owned a 34% minority share in RPN.[8] Communications and Operation
Office secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. also began to hold meetings with the network's
employees union to discuss the financial state of RPN as part of the planned privatization.[9] On
February 22, 2011, RPN's employees filed a strike notice, protesting a rumored shutdown of
RPN on February 25, and accusing the government of attempting to privatize RPN without
actively consulting its employees.[9][10][11]
On February 25, 2011, RPN signed off. However, the sign-off was only in preparation for a
relaunch as ETC on March 2, 2011.[12] Additional shares in RPN were sold to Far East
Managers and Investors Inc. (FEMI), an organization company affiliated with Ambassador
Roberto Benedicto (founder of RPN), and the San Miguel Corporation. The government would
retain the People's Television Network to serve as the sole state broadcaster of the
country.[13][14] RPN is forced to 200 employees on October 29, 2012 as Solar TV takes over the
entire RPN's airtime.[15][16] In November 2013, San Miguel Corporation President and
COO Ramon S. Ang declares interest in acquiring Solar Television Network and its stake on
RPN but instead acquire a minority stake on GMA Network. [17].
The 9TV Network
Edit
A public advisory was plugged, informing that ETC on RPN aired its final sign-off on March 31,
2013 will return toSouthern Broadcasting Network (SBN) while Solar News Channel turned into
UHF channel 43 in DWBM-TV.
By March 30, 2013 on the test broadcast until resumed the operation as the commercial
operation television started at 7:00pm by switching on its 100-killowatt transmitter and a big
welcome party by the big stars of the network. ETC was ceased commercial operations with
ETC going to a cable TV channel when RPN-9 returned to the air on Mach 30, 2013 will
become part of Media ng Bayan. Cash and resources stretched to the limit, with offices being
made to double as dressing rooms and basics such as chairs, tables and phones in short supply
while RPN stars, personalities and employees start to return to RPN. Hence, RPN employees
as president and CEO Robert Riverawas brought in to rework the station's programming.
At the time, money had been scarce while resources were limited; offices were used as
dressing rooms and other equipment such as chairs, tables, and phones were in more supply.
The network was forced to share space in the building that was rightfully their own with the
sequesterd TV station Channel 13.
Radyo Ronda 1422. The radio counterpart 99.5 Play FM, RPN's FM radio station entered a
partnership with Real Radio Network Inc. launched at the same time of the network. RPN took
over the management of Real Radio Network, Inc. stations; relaunched as the FM radio station
on April 1, 2013 as 99.5 Play FM.
In a surge of phenomenal growth, RPN earned a reputation as The Kasama Network among the
ranks of the strong number 3 in the overall TV network rating challenge the dominance of the
broadcast industry leaders with a programming that combines the America's certified hits, hit
telenovelas, asianovelas, animes and all station-produced local programs. Its creativity and
innovation have resulted in numerous long-running program successes on the challenge of
revolutionizing the broadcast landscape including a stronger of local news and public affairs
programs, high-quality entertainment, the broadcast equipment, and the acquisition of broadcast
rights of the two basketball leagues such as the Metropolitan Basketball Association games.
Additionally, the network also launched a new advertising campaign and slogan, Kasama Ako!,
which the new lineup as being more distinct being aired by its competitors at the time
successfully regained its dominance of the intense competition ABS-CBN and GMA.
With the other TV networks focusing on other forms of entertainment, RPN made the anim
series that includingDragon Ball Z, Yu-Gi-Oh! and K-On! in the surgence of anime on Philippine
television. The network gained popularity with a hit telenovela Rosalinda and a
Koreanovela Dream High. The top networks are ABS-CBN, GMA Network, IBC and TV5 forced

RPN will boost its transmission power and establish new sites in strategic parts of the country.

international channel with the Dish Network. RPN won the Best TV Station award at the 2013
KBP Golden Dove Awards, with several other TV programs on the network also earning awards

As of December 2, 2013, the network is launched with a new format of tele-radyo programming
with feed from DZKB Radyo Ronda 1422 for their own TeleRadyo during the weekday slots.
The apparent behind the simulcast of Radyo Rodna programs is to compensate for the lack of
original programming, the broadcast of its cable music channelMTV Asia during 7:00am to
8:30am and 12:30am to 1:30am and came up with intensified programming led by the popular
TV reality shows American Idol, Survivor and America's Next Top Model, and several top rate

Home Radio) recently signed a memorandum of agreement for the expanded coverage of the
both TV and radio networks nationwide. Selected DWIZ programs will be simulcast on the
Radyo Ronda Network. [18] [19]

We are currently assessing the damage that has temporarily affected our operations. We assure
our viewers and the public that measures are being taken to restore normal operations and the
planned privatization at the possible time affecting its operation and even its rumored TV
reception, could this benefit rival networks in the Kantar Media ratings.

sequestered broadcast firms like RPN and IBC are hitting.

Police Rubout at Broadcast City
Edit
It later became famous after exposing a police rubout on March 21, 2014 at 11:00pm on the
evening when it became the media company under the Media ng Bayan to cover a police rubout
incident right in front of its broadcast building to shot the gun in Broadcast City, Old Balara,
Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City, an industrial section in the city of Mega Manila at which is
the privatization them caught in the act of firing extra shots at car passengers murdered by
the Philippine National Police.
The PNP claimed it was a shootout against carjackers. However, there was too much evidence
to the contrary as it was in fact a broadcast rubout. This is substantiated by several eyewitnesses, including a video recording from RPN (a local sequestered TV station who happened
to be filming at the time), to forensic reports, and the evidence that has yet to unfold.
The Kasama Network proved it was a rubout and also recorded the cops planting guns and
stolen license plates in the trunk of the sedan, before calling the media. They shot to kill the
privatization efforts of the studios and had no interest in saving their lives. RPN's footage
became the vital evidence and accidents for a case filed on thePhilippines' Commission on
Human Rights.

About Us
Edit
Since the granting of its broadcasting franchise in 1960, RPN has performed as a major player
and has been recognized as an innovative pace-setter in the countrys broadcast industry.
The network has made its mark in Philippine radio and television history with its string of
innovations and achievements which include:
The introduction of state-of-the-art superior color transmission dubbed Accucolor in
1969.
The first remote color transmissions with the latest Outside Broadcast (OB) Van in the
country.
The first nationwide TV broadcasts via domestic satellite in 1981.
The longest running top-rating TV series in the 70s such as John en
Marsha and Superstar.
The production of critically acclaimed, distinctly award-winning Filipino mini-series
like Malayo ang Umaga,Bisperas ng Kasaysayan, Cebu, Davao and Boracay.
The first record-breaking half-hour daily serial, Marimar RPNs programming coup in
1996 that dislodged the top two TV networks programs in the 6pm timeslot.
RPN was the original home of the top Hollywood TV series MacGyver, Ally McBeal, The
X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Felicity, NYPD Blue, Dharma and Greg and The
Practice. These were just few of the shows which became popular to Filipino TV viewers
through RPN channel 9 known as 9TV.
PROFILE:
On June 19, 1960, the Philippine Legislature passed Republic Act No. 2980 which
granted RPN a franchise to construct, establish, maintain and operate radio
broadcasting and television stations in the Philippines. Once fully operational, it
launched its flagship radio station in Manila, DZBI. By 1967, RPN had grown into a full
network, operating DZRR in Manila as well as DZAX in Manila, DZAH and DZBS in
Baguio, DZTG in Tuguegarao, DZRL in Laoag, and DXDX in Dadiangas.
Since the granting of its first broadcasting franchise in 1960, RPN has performed as a
major player and has been recognized as an innovative pace-setter in the country's
broadcast industry.
1969 was a signal year in the growth of RPN. It was in this year that the network
branched out into television with channel 9 in Manila and channel 12 in Baguio. It was
also in 1969 that RPN introduced technical milestones in Philippine television. First, help
and funding for the new TV network partly came from ABS-CBN in the form of its old
headquarters along Roxas Boulevard and brought in its Toshiba equipment which
enabled Channel 9 to telecast in full color.
Accucolor, as its color casting capability was named, was far superior and professional
from the test-quality color broadcasts then being run in the country.
Then, RPN brought in the first Outside Broadcast Color Van (OB Van) in the country,
making it possible to beam studio-quality broadcasts of news and special events
coverage from remote sites.
RPN entered the 1970s as the countrys premiere radio and television network with the
coverage of the times epochal events by its award-winning news and public affairs, its
TV Hall-of-Fame local and international services, landmark local and foreign
entertainment specials and extensive coverage of sporting events, from Philippines
Basketball to Munich and Montreal Olympiads.
A decade later, in 1981 RPN introduced another first, when it brought true networking
to the country as it pioneered the use of domestic satellite to simulcast its primetime
block programs over all its TV stations nationwide through its new domestic satellite
(DOMSAT) technology, making it possible for provincial audiences to view the same
programs at the same time as their Manila counterparts.
Today, RPN known as 9TV continues to provide exceptional broadcasting together with
its provincial TV and radio stations nationwide, and its partner Solar Entertainment
Corporation.
RPN is also currently one of the media companies under the Presidential
Communications Operations Office headed by Secretary Herminio B. Coloma, Jr.

RPN's another teleserye My Family's Lover to

conquer TV viewing on March 3, 2014
March 1, 2014
We had an average of five programs in the Top 20 Weekly Primetime Program ratings. A
sequestered network is always at the bottom of the order when vying to acquire performing
stars and programs would consider transferring toRPN-9. The big US studios of their top
programs to sequestered networks.
If the giant networks ABS-CBN and GMA as well as the number 3 station IBC and TV5, it found
a thread-of-the-mil and tried programs that continue to permeate the Filipino audiences here in
the Philippines. We created this fan site devoted to our favorite third TV station RPN hopes to
bring upscale programming to the mass market, thus appealing to a broad demographic range
of TV viewers.
Based on the Kantar Media/TNS survey for Februar 2014, RPN-9 is seen by more viewers than
any other local TV station as 30% total day audience share. Jose Mari Gonzales appointed him
as RPN's top honcho. As a TV executive, he reinvented the telenovela's La
Traidora and Marimar, dubbed to Tagalog.
RPN-9 has a semblance of competitive and innovative programming because of the shows of
Solar Entertainment which is headed by my good friend and Tokayo (namesake), William Tieng.
For 54 years in the Pihlippine television space of the TV industry, RPN shows will given more
push and determination will pull as the number 3 station in the Philippines! Still, more power to
the Kasama network.
The comback of the top-rated foreign hit series such as MacGyver, The X-Files, Buffy, the
Vampire Slayer, Ally McBeal, Felicity, Dharma and Greg and The Practice are some of the best
of award-winning shows will tribute to the Kasama Network's World-Class US Primetime quality
programming. A strong number 3 in viewership whicg virtually stronger among A-B-C classes
for upscale viewers during primetime with today's best multi-award-winning world-class its on
primetime such as Glee, America's Next Top Model, Community, Chicago Fire, New Girl, 2
Broke Girls,Beauty and the Beast, The Big Bang Theory, The Vampire Diaries, American
Idol, Survivor, The Carrie Diaries, The Walking Dead, The
Neighbors, MacGyver, NCIS and Marvel's Agents of Shield which has been on primetime
schedule with a new seasons and a new episodes in the United states for the hottest primetime
shows.
More local programs of RPN cater to the wide cross section of the Philippine society, fro A-B-C
markets to D-E market for the mass-based market as The Kasama Network burst with a spirit of
renewal raring to take on new challenges in the Philippine broadcast industry, the network that
will truly serve, inform and entertain.
Last February 28, 2014, the government-owned sequestered media network RPN had its
presscon for its another first in teleserye called My Family's Lover provides welcome relief from
the excessively formulaic dramas on the bigger networks.
It was one of dream come true when I got the chance to be among the guests of this launched
because I am so proud to tell you that the writer for this primetime teleserye is none other than,
the multi awarded writer Ms. Carmela Abaygar. I am more than proud to have the chance to
have met and tell her that me and my husband collects all the books she had written in the
recent press conference of RPNs primetime teleserye offering going on primetime soap operas
and competing with other big television networks.
The 5 Girls played by: L-R: Kyline Alcantara, Andrea Brillantes, Jane Oineza and Erin
Ocampo
This family-drama series is very timely because it focuses on family values and the growing
percentage that there is a rise in number of parenting families.
My Family's Lover is about father dad Zoren (Albert Martinez) with his wife Carmella (played by
Rufa Gutierrez) to be the mother and father to her 5 kids giving birth with their youngest
daughter of kids.
The couple has five daughters, played by The Kasama Networks new stable of talents - Kyline
Alcantara, Jane Oineza, Andrea Brillantes, Erin Ocampo and Ingrid dela Paz, the child with
autism.
The director, veteran megman and producer Joel Lamangan and The Kasama Network shared
that it took this long for them to finally air a 3 teleseryes Jose Rizal, Kung Maibabalik Mo
Lang and My Family's Lover because they had to keep within its corporate mission and
philosophy of offering, 100% family-oriented wholesome programming. RPN is careful in
bringing a good values to its Filipino audience.

New prime-time schedule big on music, comedy and competition
Philippines sequestered TV-radio broadcaster RPN as the Summer Storm 2014 is ramping up
its weekend prime time slot in a bid to be more effective and competitive against the countrys
big two ABS-CBN and GMA Network, in terms of TV rating as well as the number 3 spot also
claimed by IBC and TV5. For its part, RPN's niche strategy is the A-B-C market with their
foreign TV shows.
Transmitter power of 100-kilowatts tower output in Panay Ave., Brgy. South Traingle, Quezon
City with such buiilding at RPN studio 1 and 2 at the transmitter studio and its 200-foot antenna
tower. The network is still focused on maintaining the same target demographic of young, ABC
viewership and positioning.
Already intruding this thread to bash that means RPN is indeed starting to be a competitive
threat to the other 2 stations. More work in the entertainment industry and more alternative
programs for the audience from the soap operas that dominate rival schedules approving the
PCGGs privatization of RPN-9. Its popular line-up of series and shows will continue to grow
with each new television season.
RPN stirs things up with Weekend Primetime block
With the shadows of the country's two giant networks looming largely over the newly overhauled
network, the biggest, brightest, best and all on RPN's super primetime weekend with the biggest
family entrtainment on Philippine television history with the broadcasting industry. RPN's newest
president and chief operating officer (CEO) Robert T. Rivera, promises a number of big shows
this year.
RPN's comedy coup is signing up the biggest names in Philippine laughs - Roderick Paulate,
Nova Villa and Bayani Agbayani - for its new production also committed to "a number of new
formats that we're trying out that will hopefully set new trends in local programming".
The tie up consequently allowed the network to beef up its programming, which consequently
boosted its chances to compete against ABS-CBN and GMA-7 offered by the more established
networks.
The network's new identity, coupled with aggressive promotion and interesting programs,
immediately made an impression among viewers right on its first month of reinvention.
We are the No.3 leader television network in the country, thanks for making us to the top. We'd
like to thing out Kasama viewers for making RPN-9, the No.3 leader station. Stay tuned to
Philippine television for your favorite all family shows and your favorite RPN stars of The

Is RPN-9 doing anything at all?

April 8, 2014
RPN-9 is in the third ranks as ABS-CBN and GMA.
It makes even deserves to be mentioned in the domination. Channel 9's market share is so
large that it gets scant consideration from advertisers and media buyers, and consequently its
revenues can also be a tiny fraction of those of the two giants. Ask the man on the street what
he associates with RPN-9 and he will most likely and rather the administration, apointment of
the president Noynoy Aquino III.
"In fairness," as showbiz royalties would putting it, RPN-9 is the other privatie, governmentsequestered television and radio network media in the country; and thus, the network with a
chance of challenging the doupoly over the long term. The government controlled by the
Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG). The acquisition of the network by
Wilson Tieng of Solar Entertainment became RPN chairman last 2007, put it in a position to
compete; and the first time in the new management generated a good deal of excitement and
anticipation as well.
Getting the MBA and KBL games was a brilliant idea that instantly filled RPN-9 schedule with
programming practically guaranteed to rate recently and pull in the local advertisers. Picking
up American Idol was also particularly astute considering that all the other local networks had
ignored the show as Jessica Sanchez is the popular singer made it the talk of the town.
Launching Arangkada Balita and Newswatch together with Tell the People, Saklolo
Abogado, Kasangga Mo Ang Langit, Biyaheng Langit and Isumbong Mo Kay Tulfo spoke of a
determination to build a strong, independent and credible news organization. Airing
masterpieces such quality soap opera hits as Luz Clarita, Muling Ibalik ang Tamis ng PagIbig and My Family's Lover' gave substance to TIeng's reseration of support for TV fare of
those drama serials.
Of course, there were local trend as well--Pat P-Daza Planas' talk show Showbiz Ka!,
educational programs Eskwela ng Bayan featuring Karen's World, Why?, Solved and Alikabok,
and Ruffa Gutierrez's reality show slash beauty contest. Thankfully, they were all the
homegrown programs. To be fair, RPN-9 should at least get points for trying out groundbreaking
concepts. In fact, some observers say that if these programs had been produced of the network
and compared to ABS-CBN and GMA-7, they have been successful.
Currently, RPN-9 is airing another set of quality innovative programs: Superstar (Angeline
Quinto), a Sunday night, singing musical variety show; The Million Peso Money Drop (Rafael
Rosell) and The Price is Right (Tom Rodriguez) becoming the million-peso prized game show
for Filipino viewers; and Boses Tinig Pinoy, a reality show for the local national singing contest
with German Moreno and AIleen Papin launching the singing champion. Still to come, already
get a recent press conference, is a show in which professional Filipino actors compete for a
chance to break into the superstars of the network.
The Kasama Network is doing a major reformat. In spite of everything it is doing, its ratings are
strong in the large single digits. The real question therefore is: Why RPN-9 compete?
Here are ten things The Kasama Network has got to work on:
1. Signal strength. RPN-9's transmitter has more than the power of the ABS-CBN and GMA7 transmitters. As a result, people in southern portions of Metro Manila who might want to
watch Superstar (because they have relatives among the singers) because Channel 13's
signal is strong over there. The longer RPN-9 trying to address this problem, the more
money it will given on programming that many people get a chance to see.
2. Picture quality. Those viewers who do get the RPN-9 signal often get pictures that are
grainy and almost monochromatic. It's more fun to watch the MBA and KBL isee the
players. RPN-9 has to buy some new cameras, more lights, better playback machines,
etc, etc. all the way in the line. With everybody else going digital and high definition
acceptable.
3. Canned programs. ABS-CBN Sports and Action, Star TV, ETC, 2nd Avenue, Jack TV,
Jack City and AXN all carry the top US programs. In order to stand out in this crowd,
RPN-9 should also broadcast the current season of a canned series and should at the
very least air ahead of the cable channels. Some foreign canned programs as WorldClass US Primetim such as MacGyver, NYPD
Blue, NCIS, Revolution, Community, Missioin: Impossible, The Walking Dead, American
Idol, Survivor, The X-Files, Glee, 24 and Chicago Fire maybe The Kasama Network
should, too.
4. Production. RPN-9 spends over a million pesos to produce each episode of its Mexican
telenovelas and asianovelas from Korea and Taiwan. Obviously the people at RPN-9 will
doing to match the level of spending, but this time they have to realiz that even the best
concepts will be ruined by cheap execution. The recent Mutya ng Pilipinas beauty
pageant is a case in point. Bringing in Oscar Awards, Academy Awards and Miss
Universefrom all over the world was a winning idea, the staging of the pageant was about
as good as well.
5. Stars. Stated in Filipino televiewers want to see the stars of RPN-9. Those talents and
stars with the fresh faces of them: Rafael Rosell, Angeline Quinto, Tom Rodriguez,
Gemran Moreno, Nora Aunor, Bayani Agbayani, Roderick Paulate, Nova Villa, Ruffa
Gutierrez, Albert Martinez, Tirso Cruz III, Randy Santiago, Kuh Ledesma, Raymond
Lauchengco, Marjorie Barretto, Pat-P Daza Planas, Coney Reyes, Dennis Padilla, etc.
Some hottest young stars who bame the next Kasama star.
6. Sales and Marketing. The banners in Mega Manila are the masses. To build market
share, RPN-9 has to get the word about its programs. Like almost everyting else in this
list, better publicity requires more money. You can try to be creative and get more bang in
the cash register
7. News coverage. Live reporters of the heroic efforts of RPN-9's news reporters, it is often
obvious get the top stories. The Kasama Network has to be more reliable in this respect
ants to compete in news.
8. MBA and KBL. Sports programming, some of the entertainment network wants in the
running, especially the two basketball league has all kinds of Filipino sports fans of its
own.

audience to include men aged 18 to 40 and even beyond. The reformatting is a first step

Marketing Case Study - Marimar
Edit
Background
Marimar is a Mexican TV telenovela originally broadcasted in 1994 in Mexico. The rights
were later bought by RPN 9, dubbed it in Filipino and re-broadcasted on a primetime slot
on Philippine television. Pitted against industry giants ABS-CBN and GMA7, Marimar caught the fancy of Filipinos and became a nationwide sensation. Intriguing
is the fact that at that time, ABS-CBN and GMAs shows lord over television and their
shows occupy a very huge chunk of the ratings pie. In came Marimar and shoved its
rivals ratings. What made this foreign telenovela so special that it was able to do such?
On the marketing perspective, what strategies were employed that led to the tipping of
the ratings scale?
The company and its available resources Radio Philippines Network, Inc (RPN), initially
known as Kanlaon Broadcasting system, is a broadcast television network in the
Philippines owned by the Government Communications Group.
Initially it operated radio stations and in 1969 it launched its television arm. In the 70s
and 80s, RPN was a big player in the local broadcast industry with several shows and
special coverage in its fold. It aired special coverage like the Olympics, Thrilla in
Manila and the Miss Universe Pageant. It also launched trendsetting programs such
as John en Marsha, Superstar, Eat Bulaga, and several big-name animes. It also bought
rights for re-broadcasting of several hit TV shows from the United States.
After the 1986 EDSA revolution, RPN was sequestered by the government and its
assets were turned over to the Government Communications Group. In its fall from
grace, the network lost much of its viewership to GMA and ABS-CBN. Some of its highrating primetime shows were either cancelled or moved to a rival network. It eventually
fell into a ratings slump due to the resurgence of ABS-CBN and GMA. Being a
government controlled company; it was running on a tight budget.
The company stature could compete head-on with its rivals heavily funded shows. As an
obvious result, the viewer-market favored other networks programming over theirs. The
company is in dire need of something to turn the tide in their favor. Other Variables
Providing as background to the events of the 1990s, economically, the Philippines was
not faring well. Though it had made progress with its rapid economic growth under Pres.
Fidel Ramos (1992-1998), the poor still constituted a majority of its citizens. This time
was also characterized with power shortages leading to widespread blackouts.
Being all too similar. It was also more cost-efficient and less risky to show Marimar than
gambling on a similar news program to match the already popular and well staffed rival
shows. RPN was already importing foreign shows (mostly from the US and Japan).
Marimar was a top-rater in any Latin American country where it was shown. With
Spanish influence deep in Filipinos blood. Two years prior. Marimar thus became the
pawn against the bishops and rooks of their rival. The craze was called Marimar. the
executives at RPN hoped that the same phenomenon (or even half of that) would infect
the Philippine scene. Disapproving they may be of the newscasts. ABS-CBN had TV
Patrol and GMA hadSaksi. Both GMA and ABS-CBN fielded their respective top-rating
early-evening news program in the primetime slot.
At that time. Product Comparison (Strengths and Weaknesses of Programs in the 6pm
slot) (pardon me for the use of non-business language. With nothing to lose and nothing
in their current roster of programs resilient enough to contend with the heavyweights.
Some light stuff would be earmarked here and there but the emphasis almost always
bordered on the negative. Analysis Tapping an Untapped Market Owing to its near-nil

Alternative fare for 9TV

August 22, 2014
MANILA, Philippines, Newly refurbished channel of RPN-9 makes a spash in the local Philippine
TV scene this month called 9TVs initial broadcast on Saturday night (August 23) had none of
the telenovelas and noontime variety shows commonly on ABS-CBN and GMA.
It used to be that viewers would switch to Channel 9 gets a make-over for the foreign canned
shows in the United States, telenovelas, Asian dramas and sports from MBA and KBL. From the
Radio Philippines Network, Inc. (RPN), the station is now being reintroduced as the newest
Philippine TV sensation 9TV with the chairman Amb. Antonio Cabangon-Chua as Chairman and
Benjamin Santos as President and CEO.
9TV retaining the news and current affairs, sports and entertainment programming while
expanding its primetime and weekend programming to cater more audiences which was started
by the launching of Kids Weekend. Also, ALC Group of Companies appoints Benjamin Ramos
as new president of the Radio Philippines Network, replacing Usec. Robert T. Rivera. I hope
RPN comes up with better programming.
Its the risk we decided to take. We wanted to give people an alternative to the current fare,
said RPN's newest chairman Amb. Antonio L. Cabangon Chua and the president and CEO
Benjamin Ramos during the networks launch last Thursday in Greenhills, San Juan.
If we would come up with shows with just the same format, kaming pinagkaiba. Amb. Antonio
added that the network will first concentrate on strengthening its prime time block, which is from
4 p.m. to 11 p.m. 9TV strives for an alternative programming. 9TV is the newest major player in
Philippine television industry.
9TV's new logo comes with more generis blue and red branding to reach a wider audience and
strengthen its presence on free TV RPN-9. Remember these of public service program Action 9,
which was anchored by Ramon Tulfo, Atty. Dong Puno, Angelique Lazo and Rey Langit.
This was announced last Friday by Amb. Antionio Cabangon-Chua, chairman of RPN, during
the launch of 9TV's new programming lineup in a glitzy affair at the Hotel Rembrandt ballroom.
I wish that RPN-9 would bring back its own programming and to bring the network's news
programs such asArangkada Balita (weweknights 6:30 p.m.) anchored by Bing Formento and
Angelique Lazo, and also the long-running English late-night newscast NewsWatch (weekngihts
at 11 p.m.) anchored by Eric Eloriaga and Cristina Peczon. It will also air with the US TV shows,
telenovelas, Asian dramas, animes, cartoons, etc.
Chua stressed that the unique strength of RPN-9 known as 9TV is that it brings together the
superstars of local sports, the foreign canned programs in the US, telenovelas, Asian dramas,
cartoons and anime with the leading lights of Philippine entertainment industry inder one roof, in
a never-before-tried mix.
The need to reinvent Channel 9, Atty. Antonio said, had been pursued by its management led
by a chairman Amb. Antonio L. Cabangon Chua. Negotiations led to a long-term block-time
agreement between RPN, Solar Entertainment and ALC Group of Companies, the local
subsidiary of Solar Television Network. The Kasama Network RPN-9 became its new brand
name as 9TV adds the entertainment shows on primetime which also develop its own roster of
homegrown talents and stars.
Its modest aim, according to Antonio, is to become No.2 in the so-called TV network wars.
ABS-CBN and GMA-7 are both claming to be No.1 and IBC-13 and TV5 still charting to the
No.3 slot in the ratings game. Wed gladly give that to them. But we want to be the solid third
force in the industry, explained Antonio.
Together with the directors and producers who have joined the new network, the list of actors
who will be seen nightly has been growing by the week. Antonio happily reports, The Kasama
Network 9TV is proud to have secured the services of several established talents in the
industry. We hope to be a venue where actors can showcase their talent to the fullest
regardless of where they originally came from. We feel that this cross-pollination of talent is
very good for the entertainment industry as a whole. Of course, RPN-9 will also develop their
own fresh new talents which goes without saying.
More exciting
A week after week is the newly-refurbished RPN Channel 9 surfaced as 9TV, we find ourself
hoping and sharing a conviction that there is dedication in our talented artists, producers and
network owners to turn around the industry that many have practically given up on.
Undoubtedly, TV is the most powerful avenue for the formation of taste, opinion and creation of
idols that not only the on-cam actors but also in producers, writers, directors, makeup artists,

Mexican 'telenovelas' on RPN-9
RPN-9 would really have to buy some big giants to bump of ABSCBN and GMA as well as IBC
and TV5 also still the number 3 spot in the ratings game.
It has made the importing foreign shows, Channel 9 may go into exporting local shows struck
one of the best deals in the entertainment industry when it won the rights to air Bong Revilla
movies. Prior to that, it was rare to see Revilla films on the small screen. But Channel 9 gave
FPJ fans a treat by showing movies of the Action Star on TV every Saturday night for many
years. For exportable local programs. It is planning to air both canned and locally produced
programs on RPN-9 as part of the block-time deal.
It has available to share the ratongs. Most of a favorite shows televisited on RPN. The
Simpsons, MacGyver, The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ally McBeal, Felicity, NYPD
Blue, Dharma and Greg, Chicago Hope and The Practicefor those foreign hits. RPN also
brought us the Mexican actress Thalia known as Marimar and Maria la del Barriotelenovela as
well as the anime series Dragon Ball Z.
Since the first-ever primetime telenovela La Traidora in 1994 starting at 6:30 p.m. From the past
years since 1996, the very first telenovela shown here was La Traidora at 1:30 p.m.
weekdays. Marimar was the second one, shown at 6:30 p.m. Then at the months ago, RPN-9
added more telenovelas in their primetime block (usually 3 telenovelas every evening)
beginning with Acapulco, Cuerpo Y' Alma at 5:30 p.m. and before Thalia's Marimar at 6:30 p.m.,
thenSimplemente Maria airs at 7 p.m. When Acapulco ended, it was replaced by Luz
Clarita, Marimar was replaced byMaria la del Barrio starring the Mexican actress Thalia, and

RPN-9 will make an announcement regarding this new programs. "RPN trust that the primetime
audience in the homegrown and powerhouse programming standards, concentrated fantaserye,
teleserye, telenovela and Koreanovela from being other networks."
To join the network wars once again, RPN has branches a show to watch preparation of Solar
Entertainment owned by Wilson Tieng who is now the chairman of RPN. The retrieved artists as
they highlight many local shows to air this station with the big name artists. Solar to grow
viewership of RPN-9 where Channels 2 and 7 led the performance of Philippine television
programs.
."Telenovelas are the "in" shows nowadays, riding high on the popularly of the classic
phenomenal Mari Mar. Now, The Kasama Network RPN-9 brings you two more telenovelas that
tell of life's greatest mystery and love.
Kasamang Telenovela kicked up at 5:30 p.m. from Mondays through Fridays with Mentir Para
Vivir. Mayrn Villanueva as Oriana Caligaris de Falcn and David Zepeda as Ricardo Snchez
Bretn star as the protagonists, while Altair Jarabo, Leticia Perdign and Diego Olivera star as
the main antagonists.
Porque el Amor Manda airs at 10 to 10:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday. Top-billed by Fernando
Colunga and Blanca Soto. Jesus is a really nice guy; he is always smiling, caring and looking at
the bright side of life. He works as a pizza delivery guy, and at a restaurants kitchen, too. He
also studies administration at night. He arrived in Chicago six years ago when he left his
hometown, Monterrey, after ending a tormenting relationship with Veronica, who suffocated him
with her obsessive order. When they broke up, he decided to change of environment and left
the city, chasing the American dream.
THE RPN OF BROADCASTING
In the years of the government-sequestered network, RPN-9 had a reputation for the station
with the most balanced programming as attested by the trophies it received at the annual
Citizen's Award for Television handed by the Citizen's Coundil for Mass Media headed by
Conchitina Hechanova Baizas.
Ut would also win the same honors at the Patas (Philippine Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences) Awards, an annual industry event to give television artists, performers and
technicians the recognition they so deserved for their outstanding works in the various television
formats.
Through the year of the privatization of PCGG, RPN has risen back to life. And it is inching into
the core of local broadcasting which is now dominated by two warring giants, ABS-CBN and
GMA-7.
"Let them quarrel," Wilson Tieng, chairman of RPN, declared last week during a recent press
conference gathering at the Rembrandt Hotel ballroom. "RPN is keeping focused on providing
the Filipino public with only the best entertainment - on American TV, and now more than ever,
by Filipino talent."
The statement has thrown my memory back to my college days when I did a paper on balanced
programming in one of my broadcastiung courses and an executive of the almost same thing.
Ratings as a bid deal that RPN could lay claim their importance in broadcasting on the basis of
critical notices. It had, in fact, the most credible newscast hailed by critics as the best among the
lot.
These days, the rules of the game have changed. What matters more now are the percentages
of audience share a show and a network can claim. And for this alone, broadcasting in the
country has degenerated into a silly competition for ratings.
It's good to hear Tieng and the rest of RPN management declaring that steeting the network in
that direction. RPN is getting the prized advertising spots now being wrestled by other networks,
but more sensible and more educated television audiences are beginning to understand what
broadcasting is really all about. It is about money, and is it about rating. It is abour relationships
between the network and the audience.
History
Edit
Since the granting of its broadcasting franchise in 1960, RPN has performed as a major player
and has been recognized as an innovative pace-setter in the countrys broadcast industry.
The Network has made its mark in Philippine radio/TV history with its string of innovations and
achievements which include: The introduction of state-of-the-art superior color transmission
dubbed Accucolor in 1969. The first remote color transmissions with the latest Outside
Broadcast (OB) Van in the country.
The first nationwide TV broadcasts via domestic satellite. The longest running top-rating TV
series in the 70s such asJohn en Marsha and Superstar.
The production of critically acclaimed, distinctly Filipino mini-series like Malayo Pa ang
Umaga, Bisperas ng Kasaysayan, Cebu, Davao and Boracay.
The first record-breaking half-hour daily serial, Marimar RPNs programming coup in 1996

Is RPN-9 Destined to Return?

August 4, 2014

airtime. (Logo courtesy of the Radio Philippines Network)
All eyes are on Channel 9 and a possible return to the RPN name. While become the new
facilities of RPN Media Center in Shaw Boulevard or Boni Avenue, Mandaluyong City.
On July 21, The Kasama Network decided to reduce World-Class US Primetime (currently airing
the US TV shows like 24: Live Another Day, Community, American Idol, Survivor and Smallville)
in favor fo more local primetime shows, including telenovelas, Asian dramas, animes, Hollywood
and Pinoy movies, and sports programs. For its news programs renaimed the network
as Arangkada Balita (early evening), NewsWatch (late evening), RPN News Break(news
update) and Arangkada Balita Weekend (weekend midnight).
In a related development, Media Newser Philippines also reported through a network
insider that News9, the news department of the original Radio Philippines Network, will also be
revived, with a target launch slated for the last quarter of 2014. The report came after Ramon
Ang of San Miguel Corporation acquired RPNs stake from Solar Entertainment. Then starting
August 16, cartoons and educational programs will take over RPNs weekend morning
programming. Kids Weekend will feature the return of Sesame Street to Philippine television, as
well as other memorable cartoons such as the Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Batman and
the DC Comics Universe, andPokemon.
With all these developments, does this mean the old Radio Philippines Network name will return
on the air? Yes, will this lead to an even bigger plan.
Lets face it, Channel 9 is and will always be known as RPN-9. From C/S 9, Solar TV and ETC
in its history. RPN has been an iconic brand on Philippine television, and through good times
and bad, the network always provided a great show for its viewers. Channel 9 is indeed an oddjob broadcaster for 54 years.
More importantly, with the possibility of bringing back the RPN name on air seems certain. Even
the revival of the long-running newscast NewsWatch is bound to happen.
But there is one problem. Ramon Ang recently acquired a 30% stake of GMA Network, which
means that he now has two stations in his watch. According to Media Newser Philippines, a
merger between GMA and Solar News is inevitable, unless Ang gives up partial ownership of
Channel 9.
Angs ownership of both networks will certainly affect the fortunes of both parties. Since GMA
News and Public Affairs is the more recognizable and more credible of the two, they will be
more than happy to absorb Solar News into their department. And as far as viewers are
concerned, Solar News remains an unproven commodity even after three years of continuous
operation.
Then again, these are all possibilities and might be subject to change in the near future. It is
clear that the sun is definitely setting on Channel 9s latest incarnation. As the Solar name is
quietly being retired from the brand, a new era in the history of the Radio Philippines Network is
about to take place.
Their best years were during the Marcos years, prior to the infamous sequestration. Once they
were sequestrated by Cory Aquinos government, things went downhill, although the likes
of Battle of the Brains, Penpen de Sarapen,NewsWatch, Marimar and Kwarta o Kahon kept
them relevant. When the era with Superstar, Eat Bulaga, Batibot andJohn en Marsha remains
RPNs best.
I wonder if the comebacking RPN will still be under the government as a sequestered station.
The government only has minority ownership. Halos privately owned na ang RPN. That has
been the case since Solar acquired much of stake along with other private entities.
Okay, I hope RPN comes up with better programming.
Its so interesting to know that these kiddie programs will return on airwaves esp. Sesame
Street, Pokemon and Care Bears as these shows became part of my elementary life. :-)
Ito po ang Nationwide TV Ratings noong July 2014 , ayon sa AGB Nielsen.
1. ABS-CBN = 33.9%
2. GMA = 33. 4%
3. IBC = 30.7%
3. RPN = 21.9%
3. TV5 = 11.5%
4. PTV = 11.0%
5. IBC News Network = 10.4%
6. GMA News TV = 3.4%
7. ABS-CBN Sports+ Action = 1.5%
8. Aksyon TV = 1.1%
9. Solar News Channel = 0.2%
Mukhang ramdam na nga ang possible merger ng 2 networks under Angs umbrella. Alalahanin
lang ni Ang: may AM stations ang RPN na palugi din yata.
Ito po ang Nationwide TV Ratings noong July 2014 , ayon sa AGB Nielsen.
Based on the Philippine history of televisio, RPN-9 was the original number 1 TV stations from
1960's to 1990's. Headed by their great shows like John en Marsha, Superstar, Ang Bagong
Kampeon, Buddy en Sol, Young Love, Sweet Love, Flordeluna, Marimar, Maria la del
Barrio, Luz Clarita, Arangkada Balita, Newswatch and Eat Bulaga, anime 1st come from
them Dragon Ball, Ben 10, Voltes 5. If channel will become RPN-9 for sure many will support it,
so bring back to Channel 9 cause we miss it so much.
Actually that network, along with BBC and IBC, was controlled by the cronies of Marcos, so
competition between the three networks was never a problem. Mapupunta naman kasi at the
time ang earnings ng tatlong istasyon sa mga kaibigan ni Marcos. After all, they didnt care
whos No.1 between them.
Once RPN was sequestered, however, their fortunes gradually fell, although the presence
of MariMar in the mid-90s briefly gave them life. Pero the ownership of the government hurt
RPN, and ite once Solar acquired majority ownership and subsequently of RPN name on-air.
But this time, when RPN-9 and IBC-13 now recently dominated the TV landscape as well, and
still ranks the No.3 slot in the ratings game in terms of earning competition, behind the three
networks.
Sana totoo na talaga ay magbabalik ang RPN-9 will all new and great TV shows. Sana I revive
ulit nila ang Battle of the Brains, Young Love, Sweet Love, Newswatch, Arangkada Balta,
even Buddy en Sol isama na rin nila ang Thalia telenovela coz Thalia made mark and history in
Philippine television, plus lagyan din ng sports shows, sana could change the culture of
philippine television and more on soap opera ang palabas.
Revive RPN, but not the old shows you were suggesting. Basta yung Arangkada
Balita and NewsWatch are the anchor of RPNs news programs pwede nila, tapos some new
shows to boot. Just confuse kelan po start na babalik na sa channel 9 ang RPN-9 just asking
lang po.
How about Boses Tinig Pinoy could it be that radio show could be air on national television?
AFAIK, all local shows on 9 are currently produced by Solar. The RPN name remains inactive
on air, even though it is the official name of the network, and they have to do with the production
of Solars shows.
Starting August 23, RPN and RPN News and Public Affairs will be the new name of the
channels news organization. Wilson Tieng has reportedly his stakes in the channel. With the
intense competition among the major networks, the best that they can do for now is to establish
a niche following, then they can starting thinking of expanding their programming.
The Kasama Network turns into 9TV

Published: Wed, August 13, 2014
Starting on August 23 (Saturday), The Kasama Network will officially change its name to 9TV,
according to a statement issued by the organization on Wednesday (August 13).
This marks the beginning of the channel's thrust to reach a wider audience and to strengthen its
presence on Philippines free TV network RPN 9.
As a major player in the Philippine TV industry, 9TV will continue to focus its programming on
providing news and information, entertainment and sports programs while beffing up not only
primetime programming, but also beef up its weekend programming to cater to more viewers.
Similarly, the RPN News and Public Affairs organization will then be known as 9News.
Congrat's hoping na, eto po simula ng pagiging competitive ng channel 9 by 9TV now, gaya ng
RPN-9 dati. All the programs and personnel will remain the same. Only the brand name will
change. Another Free TV Channel for competition.
"The network will retain its objectives and values," the statement said. "9TV will continue making
its mark in developing an informed and inspired public, while also broadening its appeal to the
free TV audience. 9News will continue to be the credible and consistent source of news and
information, offering News You Can Use and back-to-basics journalism."
9TV will be seen in the following free channels:
RPN 9 in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao
RPN 5 in Zamboanga
RPN 12 in Baguio
RPN 8 in Bacolod
It will also be carried by over 160 cable operators nationwide, among them:
Sky Cable Channel 14 in Metro Manila
Sky Cable Channel 6 in Cebu, Davao, Bacolod, Iloilo, and Baguio
Destiny Channel 14
Cignal Channel 10
Cablelink Channel 14
Starting August 23, the RPN News website will also change its address from its current
www.rpnmnews.com to www.9news.ph. Its Twitter account will become @9newsph and
Facebook account will be www.facebook.com/9newsph.
RPN-9 renamed as 9TV

August 20, 2014
RPN News and Public Affairs, along with RPN-9, will officially become 9News and 9TV,
respectively. The change will take effect on August 23. (Logo courtesy of 9News)
Channel 9 on Philippine free TV has a new name.
On August 23, RPN-9 will officially rename themselves as 9TV, leaving behind its iconic sun
logo and blue and yellow scheme in favor of a more generic blue and red branding. In addition,
RPN News and Public Affairs organization will change their name to 9News which is under
Media ng Bayan.
The announcement was first made on August 13 through a Twitter post of 9News senior anchor
Jing Magsaysay. According to the said statement, the networks rebrand marks the beginning of
the channels thrust to reach a wider audience and to strengthen its presence on free TV RPN9.
Other than the brand change, the staff, objectives and values, and programming will be
retained. However, the previously announced Kids Weekend, originally slated to premiere last
August 16, will now be launched this Saturday, alongside other programs aimed towards
a bigger audience.
The seeds of Channel 9s rebrand were first sown in November 2013, when Ramon
Ang acquired Solar News and a stake on RPN-9 from Solar Entertainment. Soon after, SNC
and ETC traded channels, with SNC moving to UHF TV and ETC to SBN-21.
Then in late July and early August, news programs of Arangkada Balita and NewsWatch, while
the sun logo and RPN News signage were taken the networks studios in Broadcast City. And
in a sign of things to come, all reporters of the said network are now required to use the 9News
name after every report. When 9TV begins programming, the reporters will say: (name of
reporter), 9News.
To reach a wider audience share and to strengthen its presence on 9TV is to have a live sports
event like airing theKBL and MBA basketball in future back to RPN 9, airing boxing events live
especially Manny Pacquiao, airing some foreign movies as like as TV5 and GMA-7 whether dub
in Filipino, airing some imported in the local game shows and reality shows.
That said, the rebrand of the RPN-9 to 9TV as The Kasama Network will officially mark the
partnership of Solar Entertainments decade-long relationship with RPN. Solar was essential in
privatizing RPN after two decades of government sequestration, but the finances also led to
their sale of RPN to Ramon Ang, who promptly changed the direction of Channel 9. This
Saturday will mark a new era in Channel 9s storied yet tumultuous history. And for 9TV, it is
time to start fresh.
Ang istasyon ng RPN Channel 9 ay dapat munang kailangan na inilipat sa bagong studios at
headquarters ang may bagong RPN Media Center dito sa Panay Avenue, Quezon City ay
tumungo agad sa bagong pasilidad sa wakas at puwedeng pagsamanta munang ibinalik namin
ang istasyon ng RPN at dapat munang magbalik sa ere hanggang ngayon.
That will only happen once they decided to rebrand again as RPN. For now, tiis-tiis muna sa
mga newscasr in with 9TV, not to mention those talk shows and kids programs. And besides,
entertainment networks sa free TV ngayon. Remember, in the later years of RPN-9, they
compete against bigger entertainment channels like ABS-CBN and GMA as well as TV5 and
IBC-13. You can complete these channels alone for entertainment, basta kailangan ng konting
diversity na pwedeng pagpilian ng niche viewers.

The Return of RPN 9, Under New Management

August 28, 2014
9TV is the new name of RPN 9 which started its broadcast last August 23, 2014, now
under Aliw Broadcasting System Inc. (Photo Credits: Wikipedia)
Tagalog newscast, imposible na yun since loaded na ang lineup nila. And 9TV caters more to
the niche upper class and the masses, so making a Tagalog newscast would clash with their
viewing audiences preferences..
9TV, the new name of RPN 9 began to make waves in Philippine television last August 23,
2014. The station is also home for RPN Channel 9, DZKB Radyo Ronda 1422, 106.9 Bida FM
and 98dot5 Radio Romance.
The relaunching of the channel began its thrust to reach a wider nationwide audience and
strengthen its presence on free TV. It is also the first foray of Aliw Broadcasting Corporation as
a new player in the Philippine television industry. Last January, Aliw and RPN signed a
memorandum of agreement for their expanded nationwide TV and radio coverage. The known
for its flagship radio stations DWIZ and Home Radio Natural, Business Mirror, and the Filipino
Mirror tabloid.
It would be the partnership between RPN and Solar, where the ladder started broadcasting as a
block-timer. This is the culmination of certain events that happened prior to the relaunching of
Channel 9.
Solar beginning with its partnership with RPN-9. They would be retained, making the news
organization renamed as 9News (under Media ng Bayan). Coinciding with the foreign canned
shows in the US would now retain during Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights, the launch of
9TV on Philippine television is the 7 nights of all-Filipino programming on primetime, some
telenovelas and Asian dramas, MBA and KBL basketball and the return of cartoons and
educational programs on free TV through the Kids Weekend morning block. These include the
return of Sesame Street on Philippine free TV and the new season of Pokemon.
These recent changes and developments mark the beginning of a new era for RPN 9, now
under the new leadership of former Ambassador Antonio Cabangon-Chua. RPN 9 is
remembered as an iconic brand in Philippine television, and it always provide great
programming to its viewers during good and bad times. In my point of view, this will change the
landscape of the channel but is going to change in Philippine television today. We'll just see if
these changes can change the fate of RPN in the television industry.

RPN News and Public Affairs, commonly known as 9News is the news organization of
Philippine media sequestered Radio Philippines Network (9TV) under the Media ng Bayanin
the Philippines.
The organization is responsible for daily news and information gathering of the network's news
programs. Its slogan is Kasama ng Balita, Kasamahan ng Ating Bayan. RPN News and Public
Affairs topped the list among Philippines news organizations, garnering 20% of the public trust.
It produces its news and information contents for 9TV, the RPN Regional Group, the flagship
radio stations DZKB Radyo Ronda and media portal9News website .
The division operates mainly and headquartered at Broadcast City, Capitol Hills,
Diliman, Quezon City while RPN regional stations also have their local news divisions, which is
a big help in newsgathering for the whole network. It also has a news bureaus in North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Korea, Taiwan and the Middle East with the help of 9TV Global
Ltd., these make RPN News and Public Affairs ahead among the other news organizations in
the country as they were the largest and the most comprehensive when it comes to local and
international newsgathering.
In November 2013, San Miguel Corporation President and COO Ramon S. Ang personally
acquire a majority stake in Solar Television Network as well as its stake on RPN.[1] Meanwhile,
on August 20, 2014, Solar Entertainment Corporation chief Wilson Tieng announced that he
Antonio Cabangon-Chua, owner of business newspaper BusinessMirror and ABC.[2][3]
To reflect the change of ownership, and upon announcement of the rebranding of RPN into 9TV
Network by August 23, RPN News will also rebrand into 9News, retaining its primetime
programming as 9TV expands its weekend programming.[4][5][6]

ABS-CBN Corporation (ABS-CBN): The oldest and currently the largest television
network. On October 23, 1953, the then-Alto Broadcasting System (ABS) launched
DZAQ-TV Channel 3, while in Fernando and Eugenio Lopez launced then-Chronicle

Broadcasting Corporation signed a three-year memorandum of agreement for the expanded
nationwide coverage of their radio stations.
Aside from Channel 9, the station also has the radio stations DZKB Radyo Ronda 1422, 99.5
Play FM and 106.9 Bida FM. The rebranding of channel 9 was also the culmination of the recent
developments prior to the said event, which led to the acquisition of Solar's majority shares of
the network to the ALC Group of Companies that was announced last August 20, 2014. Wwith
the newscast will get a refreshing make-over.
Arangkada Balita anchored by Bing Formento and Angelique Lazo, RPN's primetime Filipino
news program on Philippine television, now airs at 6:30 p.m.
The longest-running English late night newscast on Philippine television Newswatch, is now part
of 9TV and airs at 11 p.m. The newscst gets a boast with its anchor Eric Eloriaga and Cristina
Peczon.
But wait! Theres more!
9TV showing accessible to a wider audience a market. That means along with the network's
flagship and top-rating news programs Arangkada Balita and Newswatch, we can now enjoy the
foreign canned shows such as Smallville, The Walking Dead, American
Idol, Community and 24: Live Another Day on free TV.
Coincided with the launch of 9TV was the beginning of its Kids Weekend morning block. The
block features the return of Sesame Street on Philippine television, the new season
of Pokemon, a new Batman animated series, and many more.
9TV is just a slight return of RPN 9 on Philippine television, as the newscasts, current affairs
and public service programs will be retained under the new name 9News. Aside from this, 9TV
has already beefed up its foreign canned programs during primetime, more local shows with 7
nights of all-FIlipino programming on primetime, weekend programming to cater more viewers,
which include the Kids Weekend block. Even though it is a slightly different channel but feels
new, RPN 9 will always be remembered as an iconic brand in the history of Philippine television.
I hope that this new rebranding will be the beginning of Channel 9's journey to redemption, as
we are yet to start experiencing a new way of watching TV through digital television.
RPN employees havent been the government and the management. Those people deserve to
be heard and compensated for their efforts to keep the station afloat. Hopefully it stays that way.
ETC on RPN Schedule

Legend: - Local shows, Tagalog dubbed foreign cartoons and foreign drama and ETC programs
If ever kung mabili ko ang 130% stake ng ETC on RPN-9. I will plan to order a new transmitter,
new cameras, new HD cameras, new studios (from RPN main studios and RPN broadway
centrum), new OB vans, new OB van radio booths and other broadcast equipment for its TV
and radio broadcasting as well as the regional stations. Some of the shows would be a coproduction with Viva and Solar.
On August 2011, ETC on RPN created two new departments, News and Current
Affairs (headed by Marigold Haber-Dunca) and Entertainment TV (headed by Willie Milan).

DWRT-FM (99.5 Play FM)
The First 99.5 RT (1976-2006)
Edit
DZTR changed its call sign to DWRT-FM, moved to the 99.5 MHz frequency and branded itself
as 99.5 RT on September 6, 1976. Its studios were located for most of its existence on Ayala
Avenue in the central business district of Makati, at one time in Pacific Bank Building. It was
then originally owned and operated by Trans-Radio Broadcasting Corp. (currently
operating Radyo Inquirer 990, Cebu's Y101, Davao's DXKR, & Butuan's Majik 97.5, RT's
original sister station). with owner Emilio Remedios Tuason, who also became one of the
deejays (his on-air name was "ET"), until personal problems forced his retirement from the
station in 1987.
99.5 RT became famous for playing the hits three months ahead of most other music stations
because its programming philosophy did not pander to the masses nor cater to the lowest
common denominator. It was more concerned with bringing the latest hits to the audience as
soon as they were released by the artists. One of the most remembered examples of this was in
the early 1980s when RT broke in the song "More To Lose" by the obscure English duo, Seona
Dancing (one-half of which is the now famous lead actor and comic of the British television hit
series The Office, Ricky Gervais). The station kept everyone guessing about the identity of the
song by announcing the title as "Medium" and done by the artist "Fade", two words which were
actually descriptions of the song: medium tempo with an ending that faded out.
Over the years, RT became popular with different slogans such as "The Rhythm Of The City"
(19761996), "Red Hot Radio" (19831988), "Maximum Music" (1988-1996), "Source For The
Best Hits" (19961998) and "Your Music Authority" (19982001), From 2001 - December 18,
2006 before it was rebranded, 99.5 RT's slogan was "The Most Hit Music".
Top 40, special programs
Edit
RT was also home to some of America's popular hit countdown shows like American Top
40 and the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40. In the early 1980s (specifically 1983-1984), RT also
ventured into the music-video business. As one of the pioneer music video shows in the
Philippines, "Rhythm Of The City" which aired on Tuesdays at 7:30 pm on then governmentowned MBS Channel 4 (now PTV Channel 4), showcased then ground-breaking videos from
artists such as Men At Work, Naked Eyes, Real Life, Michael Jackson, and some of the best
acts in North America during a time when then-fledgling MTV had not yet established its
presence in the Asian region.
It is also known for its oldies show, 24K Friday playing the hits from the 1970s, 1980s and
1990s.
It was also known as the first radio station in The Philippines to have ventured into having a
home on the World Wide Web, launching its bulletin board in 1995.
Change of management
Edit
On June 14, 1996, Trans-Radio sold RT to Supreme Broadcasting Corporation (now Real Radio
Network Inc.) and moved to the Royal Match Building. Under new management, the station tried
its best to maintain its upscale and niche-market on-air identity and programming format, unlike
many other stations which reformatted after being sold.
On April 1999, it moved to its present location at the Paragon Plaza Building,
along EDSA, Mandaluyong City.
Over the next few years, 99.5 RT's sound slowly became similar to other CHR radio stations in
Manila. By 2004, most of its veteran DJs had left and were replaced by younger ones. During
the period, programs like Up and Coming (a new music countdown show, which later split into
two: RT Top 10 Biggies (daily) and the RT40 (weekly)),On the Decks (a dance show hosted and
with live dance music mixes by Dj David Ardiente, which later became David's House), RT
Sunday Sessions (where performed live in the radio station's studio), The Get Up and Go Show
with Joe Schmoe, Alex and Lellie, Dinner and Drive Show (formerly known as Da Brainy
Bunch), and The Playground with Da Kid, Lexi Locklear and BB Fred were developed.
Beginning in 2004, RT put up an annual concert event called, "Ripe Tomatoes", featuring up to
30 OPM bands playing back-to-back on a single night.
The end of RT
Edit
In 2006, a corporate decision was made to rename RT to "HiT FM" starting January 2007. Thus,
at midnight on December 18, 2006, the station signed off as the First iteration of 99.5 RT. For
the next two weeks, the station played non-stop music, with occasional liners from the DJs, and
teasers about the new station. On January 1, 2007, it officially signed on as HiT 99.5.
Hit 99.5/99.5 Hit FM (2007-2008)
Edit
On January 1, 2007, Hit 99.5 signed on and presented almost-uninterrupted music

programming with live announcers and its new programs officially debuted on January 8, 2007.
The programming was essentially the same as RT's, but more content-driven rather than music
oriented similar to sister station in Davao 105.9 Mix FM. It catered to a young audience, whose
demographics included kids in high-school and college; from the aspirational to the affluent
backgrounds. It used cutting edge production techniques and materials to accent the music with
an upbeat and hip sound image that identified the station distinctly from competition. In August
of that year, its on-air name was changed to 99.5 Hit FM.
The end of Hit FM
Edit
99.5 Hit FM signed off for the last time on Holy Wednesday, March 19, 2008. Some Hit FM
jocks later moved toJam 88.3 and Magic 89.9. The last song "Nice to Know You"
by Incubus was played before the holy week.
Campus 99.5 (2008)
Edit
File:Campus995.jpg
The 99.5 frequency resumed broadcast as 99.5 Campus FM on Easter Sunday, March 23,
2008, with some of the announcers coming from Barangay LS 97.1 (formerly "Campus Radio
97.1") and some of the retained Hit FM jocks. The new incarnation of 99.5 reflected the spirit of
the former Campus Radio. Early in May, 2008, it was renamedCampus 99.5. The on-air format
was essentially the same, with familiar programs and segments and jocks from Campus Radio
97.1 re-introduced later on.
Collectively, the station's on-air announcers were known as the Campus Air Force, as they
were with DWLS-FM.
The end of Campus FM
Edit
On the afternoon of August 14 at 4:00 pm, the management abruptly discontinued Campus
99.5, due to management difficulties. The station then switched to an automated all-music
format with only pre-recorded station ID's played intermittently between
songs. BrewRats! continued on its usual schedule until August 21, after which it went on a one
week hiatus. On August 24, a new set of stingers announced that a new format and station
image would be premiered in days.
Campus Radio revived on March 21, 2009 as an internet radio station.
The Second 99.5 RT (2008-2012)
Edit
File:DWRT-FM.jpg
On September 1, 2008 at 6 a.m., after two weeks of automated music programming, the station
resumed its broadcast under the reinstated name 99.5 RT. Joshua Z was the first DJ to go on
board that morning, followed by other jocks who have worked with the frequency's three
incarnations (mostly from the RT roster and HiT and one from Campus). The station initially
reused its old and familiar slogan, "The Rhythm Of The City". The playlist is more progressive
and experimental, attempting to sound like RT's first Iteration. The deejays have a collective
tone similar to parent station, Magic 89.9, due to the use of Tagalog-English or "Taglish" during
live spiels.
They also introduced its 2nd slogan, from 2009 - 2010, dubbing the station as playing "The Best
Music on the Planet", which is also used in sister station in Davao, 105.9 Mix FM. For every
Summer, it brought back the "Red Hot Radio" slogan, which was originally used from 1983 -
1988. Since 2010, they launched The Farm, an on air training program for the beginner/student
jocks.
Since October 2010, RT began to play some Modern Rock music, earning its 3rd slogan, "The
Drive", after the Sunday night-only program of the same name. It was a call for the demise
of NU 107, which happened a month later. Ironically, they rarely play some songs from the 90s
and early 2000s to promote 24K Weekend. However, CHRis still retained as its initial format. In
June 2011, RT dropped "The Drive" in favor of its previous slogan "The Best Music on the
Planet", as an attempt to bring back RT's old image.
The end of RT's 2nd Iteration
Edit
During mid-October 2012, management decided to reformat the station. Half of its on-air crew
were dismissed (replaced by selected Junior Jocks from Magic 89.9), and some of the shows
ended. The station continued to air using 99.5 RT, but with new teasers (which began a week
before), until December 9 when 99.5 RT signed off for the last time. Koji Moralez was last to
board and its last song was "Kings and Queens" by Thirty Seconds to Mars.
99.5 Play FM (2012-present)
Edit
File:99.5 Play FM.jpg

On December 10, 2012 at 6am, the station signed on as 99.5 Play FM. Socialite and
eventologist Tim Yap, RT mainstay Sam Oh, and former Magic jock Nikko were the first jocks to
go on board that morning, followed by the remaining RT jocks and selected jocks from Magic.
The very first song played was "Play" by Jennifer Lopez. The programming and imaging is more
identical to that of its parent station, Magic 89.9, and the defunct 99.5 Hit FM, as opposed to
that of RT. It caters to a young audience, whose demographics included kids in high-school and
college; from the aspirational to the affluent backgrounds.
As of April 1, 2013, the sequestered TV-radio media network Radio Philippines Network now
acquired the partnership of Real Radio Network, Inc. relaunched as the first FM radio
station 99.5 Play FM together with RPN. The FM radio for format is the playing mixed of pop
music, contemporary hit radio (CHR) and Original Pilipino Music(OPM), showcasing the FM
music, alongside Top 40 hits with some hit foreign songs and more than OPM hits featuring
some of Pinoy artists, Joe Spinner appoined the station managercomplements are priority in the
mass-based category than a mass-based music as the pop format in the a high-ratings pop
music FM station in Mega Manila and rivaled other radio stations.
99.5 Play FM is conceptualized in 2012 when RPN chairman Wilson Tieng joined by Joe
Spinner as the station manager for their FM radio network. With RPN-9, a fledgling organization
that was to rise in June 1960, Tan wanted to make sure that his FM radio affiliate would similarly
make a dent in the broadcast circles, he envisioned his TV network to do collar the 106.7 mhz in
the FM band to become a contemporary hit radio (CHR) and Original Pilipino Music (OPM)
station featuring the hits.
It was an innovative, bold and creative approach towards radio programming as pop radio
station dared to do so. Play FM was the first to breakthrough with this approach in programming
to synergize the market of RPN since their target market were the young adults aged 21 and
above. Hence, The Hits All Day tag and eventually becoming mainstream hits with various
tracks exclusively played at their radio station.
First radio station to give away huge cash prizes on a daily basis. The promo was called Play
FM Cash Payoff, whereby a song is played and is identified as the money song of the day.
Once the song is repeated of the day, the 106th caller by the time the song win a cash prize
anywhere from P1,000 to P10,000. When they will now started to playing some more then OPM
hits such as Patuloy ng Pangarap by Angeline Quinto, Na Sa'yo Na ang Lahat byDaniel
Padilla, Forevermore by David Archuleta, Ikot-Ikot by Sarah Geronimo, Anong Nangyari Sa
Ating Dalawa byAiza Seguerra, Scared to Death by KZ
Tandingan, Gayuma by Abra feat. Thyro and Jeriko Aguilar, Paano by Jovit
Baldivino, Forever by Tom Rodriguez and Dennis Trillo, Kung Pwede Lang Sana by Bugoy
Drilon, Nasaan ang Pangako Mo by Anja Aguilar, Ikaw Pala by Kris Lawrence, Because I Love
You by Gerald Santos, Mahal na Mahalby Sam Concepcion, I'll Be There by Julie Anne San
Jose, Help Me Get Over You by Jonalyn Viray, I Will Be Hereby Gary Valenciano, Hanggang
Ngayon by Bryan Termulo, Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala by Gary Valenciano, What Can I
Do by Christian Bautista, Pangako by Regine Velasquez, Bulag by Mitoy Yonting, I Need You
Back byRaymond Lauchengco, I Just Fall in Love Again by Angeline Quinto, The Way You Look
at Me by Christian Bautista, among others.
The station also has its first-ever weekly countdown separated where daily countdown in top 10
requested foreign songs and top 10 OPM hit songs are aired at 11am and 5pm respectively on
Saturdays. The station that plays The Hits All Day actually came out with one of programming in
Philippine local FM radio history.

Radyo Ronda Manila History
Edit
On August 2013, it was found out that the set of investors are associated with Wilson Tieng, the
chairman of Radio Philippines Network (sill in president of Solar Entertainment Corporation),
Robert T. Rivera, the president and CEO of Radio Philippines Network and Marigold HaberDunca, the RPN news and public affairs head. Since August 22, 2011, DZKB-AM was on test
broadcast, airing RPN's feed.
DZKB Radyo Ronda Manila 1422 kHz, RPNs radio arm, was launched last April 1, 2013. His
mission is to bring the glory of radio, which is radio sans images, since Radio on TV has
become the new trend. He also launched RPN OB Van radio, a first in Philippine Radio history,
in which it broadcast to a specific location via see thru OB Van studio vehicle.
RPN OB Van Radio Booth is Philippines First, Stuns Mediamen

Edit
Taking its first rolls on metro streets, RPNs Radio Mobile Booth was spotted airing the live
coverages of the countrys two biggest events this January, giving spectators and mediamen a
sheer surprise.
On August 29, the same day it was launched, the radio-on-wheels aired live the Malacaang
Press Conference with President Noynoy Aquino.
Many mediamen were surprised when the Radio OB Van Booth make a stop at Senate, so I
hope other networks will follow Wilson and Roberts idea that they may genuinely provide
government with truthful reporting," said AdSpeak President Lito Bamba in the vernacular.
Bamba was commissioned to do the radio OB van booth project. Last September 4, the OB van
radio also brought the actions of one of the largest fun run events ever organized and
participated in by Filipinos live on air.
Another first in Philippine broadcasting by RPN and RPN news and public affairs head Marigold
Haber-Dunca, the mobile radio was launched simultaneously with DZKB Radyo Ronda Manila
(1422 kHz), Totoong-Totoo sa Radyo ng Pilipino (Honest to Honest in Radio of the Philippines)
for first slogan and Ang Angkan ng Tagapagbalita (The Clan of the Herald) for second slogan,
during the stations kick-off party at RPN studios at the RPN Media Center in Boni Avenue,
Mandaluyong City.
The radio-on-wheels is RPNs another vehicle to bring more government closer to people.
Marigold Haber explained how the public could benefit from the launch of the radio station OB
van booth, saying, If people see it parked in one area and they have some important
announcements, they only need to knock and they will be assisted so they can air their
announcements using our radio OB van booth.
The RPN Chairman Wilson Tieng, RPN President and CEO Robert T. Rivera and RPN News
and Public Affairs Head Marigold Haber-Dunca also added that since the booth can be brought
to where an actual event or happening is reeling, it would allow radio news anchors to report the
events as they see them, thus, giving listeners more accurate information.
Both RPN Radyo Ronda and its mobile booth are part of Alex Tinsays media advocacy that
started with Tulong Serbisyo Muna (Rescue Service First). Launched in August 2011, the new
news tagline prioritizes rescue operations over news reporting. When the new news advocacy
was launched, it brought forth RPN News and Rescue Team, the first Philippine media entity to
undergo rescue training according to Dick Gordon, Philippines Red Cross Chairman and CEO.
In less than 1 month, the advocacy also brought forth other pioneering media initiatives
including RPN News and Rescue Command Center and the acquisition of several mobile and
rescue vehicles.

BEAM TV 31's New Schedule this 2013

BEAM TV Channel 31 of Radio Mindanao Network (RMN), in the same company that brough
the 2 radio stations as DZXL Radyo Mo Nationwide 558 and 93.9 iFM, and Broadcast
Enterprises and Affiliated Media, Inc. is now No.3 behind the UHF networks UNTV and Net 25.
Channel 31's new slogan Ang Katuloy Natin parang TV, as the branding Katuloy network.
Channel 31 will now airs O Shopping (daily 9am-2pm) and TBN Asia programs (daily 7-9am and
2-6pm and 12mn-3am) since September 1, 2014, a day after the last Free TV broadcast of Jack
City, as BEAM prepared for Digital Terrestrial Television in the Philippines. Its studios and
broadcast facilities are located at the Unit 507 Taipan Place, F. Ortigas Jr. Road, Ortigas
Center, Pasig City, and the transmitter is located at Palos Verdes Subdivision, Sumulong
Highway, Antipolo City, province of Rizal.
BEAM TV 31 is now the proud member of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP).
Debuting on October 1, 2014 as the primetime-only block, BEAM TV 31 was first utilized by
RMN as its answer to UNTV and Net 25. RMN was picked as the broadcast arm of TBN Asia
and O Shopping in the Philippines at the time, and also with BEAM TV Channel 31 started test
broadcast in September 1, 2014 with rebroadcast of TBN Asia and O Shopping. A month later, it
launched its own programming under the station name BEAM TV 31 and adopted the
slogan Ang Katuloy Natin parang TV. The station initially ran TBN Asia and O Shopping
rebroadcasts in the day, and ran its own shows at primetime. It also ran for 24 hours, but
financial limitations forced it to sign off at 3AM every day. That has been the broadcast
arrangement ever since.
The flagship station, DWKC-TV signed on about a month before the launch of BEAM TV 31,
simulcasting the Philippinr airwaves of TBN Asia programming. BEAM TV 31 was officially
launched on October 1, 2014, when the blocktime timeshare with TBA Asia and O
Shopping aired during the daytime, with BEAM TV's newest programming taking over in the
primetime hours.
The local programming introducing BEAM TV's two Filipino news programs News 31 with
Gilbert Remulla andLatetime News with Weng dela Pena as the news anchors of the newscast
will cater to the masses with the help of BEAM TV News and DZXL correspondents and
reporters. The network will also devote programs like gaming, entertainment and movies.

What Makes 9TV the Best Entertainment

Channel on Free TV?
October 5, 2014
It's been over a month since 9TV came in to our television screens. The new face of RPN 9
appoint many Filipino viewers including myself who want to try a different brand of alternative
viewing experience on free TV. I assumed that Channel 9 has finally found its true calling after a
longtime search for its own niche. And that would be as the news and information that aims to
reach and widen nationwide free TV audience. In fact, for me or in my point of view, among all
the TV networks that are available on Philippine free TV,.
What makes 9TV the best entertainment channel on Philippine TV for me is definitely its
programming strategy, considering that. It is an clear, evident fact that weekdays are always
slated for news and information programs, but it is on primetime and weekends that makes this
channel more interesting. 9TV's beefed-up weekend programming is filled with a various and
diverse mix of entertainment programs that would cater every segment of the Philippine viewing
population. Perhaps the best highlight of weekend programming on the new channel 9 is its
Kids Weekend block, which features the return of Sesame Street and Pokemon on Philippine
television with freshly new episodes along with Batibot and Penpen de Sarapen.
Meanwhile, its local programs on primetime that complementing each program on RPN Channel
9 possess different elements and qualities. Such programs would include Temptation Island:
Dare to Win, Kanta Tayo, Boses Tinig Pinoy, Price is Right, Superstar, John en Nova, Actually
Yun Na! Megaon and recently launched new programs for young viewers and
teensincluding Meet the Date, Carl & Ed, I'm a Princesa, Fantastik Man, Fall in Love for
You,Junior TV, Barkada Diaries, Dear Hazel and Dobol Trobol, among others.
Judging by the traditional programming provided by other networks, I think that 9TV's primetime
programming is better than ABS-CBN, GMA-7, IBC-13 and TV5. I would surely hope that 9TV,
with 9News and its weekend programming, would continue to reach its purpose to inform and
entertain many Filipino viewers with its own brand of quality alternative programming.

RPN does TV on its own terms

March 8, 2014
For RPN won as Best TV station in the 2013 KBP Golden Dove Awards. In his brief acceptance
speech, the first time in recent years that the best station award is being given to neither of the
two giant networks. He gave due credit to the "men and women behind the success of The
Kasama Network who had to work harder with equipment, resources, manpower and yet have
achieved many feats."
New RPN and Solar owner Wilson Tieng said he ventured into new business territory to be the
biggest to be the best. Trying to be the best by challenging conventions and daring to be
different in its alternative programming, and striving to make a difference in the lives of others
through its advocacies.
Last Thursday, The Kasama Network gathered its friends from the press to celebrate its win and
to formally unveil its new program slate. Network executives were led by the chairman Wilson
Tieng who keynoted the affair. Canoy cited RPN's escalated efforts to strengthen the network's
financial muscle to finance its programming, modernization, privatization and expansion plan.
RPN will still be focused on maintaining the same target demographic of young, ABC viewership
and positioning. Wilson Tieng's Solar Entertainment assume to functions of managing, providing
programming content and marketing fotr Channel 9.
RPN claims a new program slate described by the president and CEO Robert T. Rivera as an
unrivaled suite of entertainment, news and information and sports programs whose broad
appeal crosses age, gender, and socio-economic class. She said the network believes that
there are audiences looking for true alternatives to formula programs and to cut and dry formats
and that there are markets out there with a broad repertoire of tastes and interests and with
penchant for original, out-of-the-box ideas. This is the audience to whom RPN wants to serve its
multi-faceted quality primetime menu.
More important is what the viewers can expect from RPN in the upcoming days. "We will
continue with our primetime foreign shows. Honestly, competing with the other giant networks
drawing our own following with our Emmy Award-winning series, dramas and comedies," said
RPN Chairman Wilson Tieng. In exchange, RPN would get P100million in "goodwill" money.
Prior to the takeover, RPN emerged as the able underdog in the so-called network "duopoly."
This year alone saw the station's steady climb to the number 3 position due to the impressive
showing of some of its programs, particularly those in the bracket.
The Kasama Network has doing it before and it's doing it once again. From the benchmark of
the special events ofThrilla in Manila, The Olympics and the Apollo Missions; the award-winning
Filipino mini-series such as Malayo Pa ang Umaga, Bisperas ng Kasaysayan, Cebu and Davao;
the imports of telenovelas are Marimar, Luz Clarita,Simplemente Maria and Maria la del Barrio,
and the outstanding foreign series such as MacGyver, The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire
Slayer, Ally McBeal, Felicity, NYPD Blue, Dharma and Greg and The Practice. The
unforgettable Filipino shows are the long-running No.1 sitcom John en Marsha which spawned
any number of clones across all channels with the comedy king Dolphy, a musical variety

He assures viewers that RPN will continue to show world-class U. S. episodes for as long as the
American networks continue to do so and some of the programs have completed a full season
worth of episodes.

With the help of Solar Entertainment, RPN comes up with new and exciting programming
became known for its World-Class US Primetime campaign, which was launched last year. This
means RPN airs new seasons and new episodes of popular American TV series after its initial
U.S. airing wherein popular foreign programs are shown in the Philippines in current with their
US seasons. Viewers need not buy pirated DVDs or download from the Net as the episodes are
shown about three weeks after their telecast in the U. S.
RPN has also kept its viewers updated by bringing into local television more series hits also airs
top-rated US foreign shows on primetime such as Glee, America's Next Top Model, New
Girl, The Vampire Diaries, Survivor: One World, 2 Broke Girls, Agents of
Shield, Community, MacGyver, The Neighbors, Chicago Fire, NCIS, The Carrie
Diaries,American Idol and The Walking Dead for the hir foreign series. It is the leader network
which regularly airs the Hollywood blockbuster films, TV specials and concerts in Sine
Nueve and Sunday's Big Event, and the telenovelas such as Mar de Amor and Porque el Amor
Manda. It has a number of Asian dramas led by the Koreanovelas likeOver the
Rainbow, Wonderful Life and Dear My Sister. Of course, RPN also airs te MBA basketball
games which has acquired new luster for the network, and also carry the 2014 Sochi Winter
Olympics this April, and Miss Universe beauty pageant.
With this development on RPN-9, we hope that local TV scene is enlivened beyond a twonetwork world. After all, IBC-13 and TV5 are doing with their own programming. Just a thought,
a network has a consistent 25 to 30 percent of ratings, it will already rank No.3 to ABS-CBN and
GMA-7 that n their ratings.
RPN-DXDX GenSans winning duo vie for Boses

Tinig Pinoy grand finals
Tuesday 11th of March 2014
GENERAL SANTOS CITY, March 11 (PIA)--- RPN-DXDX GenSans bet for duet is up another
step as the siblings emerged on top in the recently-concluded RPNs a cappella Boses Tinig
Pinoy semi-finals at the Limketkai Mall, Cagayan de Oro City. In January this year, RPN-DXDX
GenSan Boses Tinig Pinoy held its grand finals at SM Event Center here which named siblings
Katherine and Felix Calixton as winners for the duet category to represent in the semi-finals.
The a cappella singing contest has two categories, the duet and the trio.
With pride, RPN-DXDX General Santos City station manager James Catalan said that they also
vied in the trio but failed. We didnt make it in the trio though, but thats rather okay since we did
make it in the duet.
Catalan noted that the event in Cagayan de Oro was a great success and the experience was
very enriching and full of fun as the contestants have gotten to know the other contenders from
other areas.
It was very overwhelming, we have much bigger crowd in CdO and they were very supportive
and welcoming, he said.
According to Catalan, for the semi-finals RPN management decided to get five winning areas
that would represent in the duet and trio categories. But this is all in random, it all depends on
the performances of the respective contestants and that is if they win.
The winning areas for the duet were General Santos City, Surigao City, Davao City, Cebu City,
and Dipolog City. The cities of Cebu, Dipolog, Zamboanga, Bacolod, and Davao will compete in
the trio category.
The winning duos and trios will travel to Manila for the nationwide grand finals on March 18 at
SM Aura, Taguig City. The grand winners for duet and trio will each receive P1-million worth of
prizes including a recording contract with PolyEast-Universal records.
Catalan however said that all regions where RPN stations are strategically based were well
represented.
Aside from the cities of General Santos, Cebu, Davao, Dipolog, Surigao, Zamboanga, and
Bacolod, other areas that joined also included Baguio, Pagadian, and Batac, Ilocos Norte.
Boses was aired over RPNs 12 radio stations in the country. It had its first launch in Baguio City
in June last year, then in Cagayan de Oro City in July and in Batac City, Ilocos Norte. It was
launched here in September at SM City General Santos.
The search was then open to all interested a cappella duos and trios, who can infuse their
musical talent into the song they choose and interpret it with such power of emotions.
Selection and judgment were based on four criteria: quality of voice, 50; interpretation, 25;
choreography, 15; and attire 10. Aside from thanking all contestants and those others that
auditioned, Catalan also attributed the success of Boses Tinig Pinoy to all the sponsors,
individuals and groups, who have supported the event since its launch. (CT Apelacio/PIA-12

Veteran broadaster and newsman Bing Formento refuses to the news broadcaster despite the
challenges, and gears up to join RPN's broadcast team as anchor to their flagship news
program: Arangkada Balita.
In 2013, Solar Sports, under new management, brought the rights and aired the MBA games on
Channel 9 by buying airtime from RPN-9, the government-run network.

Slayer, The X-Files, Ally McBeal, Felicity, NYPD Blue, Dharma and Greg, The Practive,

'Marimar' returns to RPN-9

June 1, 2014
The repackaging of RPN-9: I think, decided that the management of RPN-9 need to have a
stronger and more impressive niche in Philippine television so slowly but surely, you rerepackage them.
Just look at the DJs of the FM radio station 99.5 Play FM, playing the contemporary hit radio
(CHR) and more OPM hits. It channels 2 and 7 are going for the masses. Is the strategy of
RPN-9 to go for more intellectual viewers for a good one.
The Tieng-owned network has further opened its primetime to blocktimers and co-producers like
Solar Entertainment, which is definitely good since network executives that can be into toprating shows. Further hear that RPN-9 wants to beef up not only its entertainment shows, but
also its news and public affairs programs. Personally like RPN-9 for coming up with really good
original shows. They come up with very interesting ideas in case often. They both really lack
marketing and more aggressive marketing for more maatract to viewers through producing
shows and repackaging added new programs.
I'm tired of watching the shows from 2 and 7 craving for more intellectual from local channels.
GOOD FOR CHANNEL 9: RPN-9 has good shows intend to complete more viewers. After
acquire the KBL and MBAgames, in attract more viewers of the Kasama network should invest
more on genre shows.
The no.1 fans started the comedy and variety show, and some mini-drama and Mexican
telenovelas likes the popular star Thalia and the rest of our drama series brings back and their
quality talk shows, news daily and update of our report, the blockbuster movies as well. Some of
Mexicanovelas to rule again like Esmeralda, Preciosa, La Usurpadoraand Luz Clarita with the
popular child star Daniela Luna who grew up as an adult movie princess in Mexico and I wish
that RPN got back in an old days that our rules all the top-rating shows in competing with the
other giant networks ABS-CBN and GMA as well as IBC and TV5 showing the number 3 spot in
the ratings game at the point even I wish that primetime shows of our network will rule again like
telenovelas and variety shows will airs on 4 p.m. to midnight slot.
Go RPN! Kasama Ako!, more telenovelas and Koreanovelas as well. Acquisition of thye popular
US programs are undergoing negotiations.
The Kasama Network will have a new station with a transmitter tower in Panay Avenue, Quezon
City. Althrough they will retain the Broadcast City studios in Capitol Hills, DIliman, Quezon City,
the Panay Avenue will cater mostly to LIVE programs that is both accessible to the talents and
audience.
Before that, RPN-9 competes with Thrilla in Manila, Olympic Games and Apollo Missions; the
award-winning Filipino mini-series like Malayo Pa Ang Umaga, Bisperas ng
Kasaysayan, Cebu, Davao and Boracay, and with its local op-rating shows like John en
Marsha, Superstar, Champoy and Buddy en Sol. Also the Mexican telenovela hits: La
Traidora, Marimar, Simplemente Maria, Acapulco, Luz Clarita, Maria la del Barrio, Piel, Maria
Isabel, La Usurpadora,Alguna Vez Tendremos Alas, Los Parientes Pobres, Esemeralda, Gente
Bien, La Duea, Luz y Sombra, Preciosa,Quinceaera, Serafin, Siempre te Amare and Maria
del Cielo, showing an outstanding foreign canned programming (MacGyver, The X-Files, Buffy
the Vampire Slayer, Ally McBeal, Felicity, NYPD Blue, Dharma and Greg, Chicago
Hope and The Practice). Now that RPN-9 is still struggling I hope this year will be a good one
for this channel.
Told us our friend, Wilson Tieng, the chairman of RPN set to relaunch the 2nd season of Boses
Tinig Pinoy, the biggest singing reality search in Philippine television last May 31, 2014. Plans
also said the TV networks do something of the natinowide and worldwide version. I personally
feel that RPN should take a chance on getting a local franchise of American Idol. The yuppies
are a great target audience especially now when singing contests in Philippine TV seem to be
only focused on making pathways for 15-19 year olds. Yuppies, too, need Idols coming from the
20-28 year olds age bracket.
Gradually also now that Channel 9 especially given the third spot behind ABS-CBN and GMA.
According to Tieng, many new local programs are reportedly planning to launch RPN-9 this year
to be more competitive they turn into the two giants. RPN-9 is now owned by telecom magnate
Wilson Tieng.
Some of Thalia's popular telenovelas like MariMar, Maria la del Barrio, Quinceera and Luz y
Sombra. For those of telenovela hits like La Traidora, Acapulco, Luz Clarita, Preciosa, Piel, La
Usurpadora, Maria Isabel, Esmeralda andSiempre te Amare becoming the huge margin.
The Kasama Network RPN-9 is set to bringing back the hit telenovela that started it
all, Marimar starring the Mexican actress Thalia airing on June 2 from Monday to Friday at 6
p.m. This is part of the network celebration of its 20th anniversary of being the 'Home of
Telenovelas'.
Netizens on Thursday expressed their excitement for the comeback of Marimar in the Kapinoy
channel. RPN refreshed the viewers memory as a teaser video titled Marimar: The Ultimate
Throwback was uploaded on YouTube. On Twitter Philippines, users were abuzz with the news
that the hashtag #ThrowbackMarimar trended on Thursday. RPN-9 announced
that Marimar rerun will start on Monday, June 2, 2014 with a new telenovela hits liek Mentir
Para Vivir at 5:30 p.m. and Porque el Almor Manda at 10 p.m.
Marimar was a Mexican TV telenovela that was first aired in 1994 on Televisa with singeractress Thala in the title role. The series had 75 forty-five minute episodes, and is the second
part of a "Maria" trilogy. The first was Maria Mercedes, Maria la del Barrio and Rosalinda.
The rights were later bought by RPN 9, dubbed it in Filipino and re-broadcasted on a primetime
slot on Philippine television. Pitted against industry giants ABS-CBN and GMA7, Marimar caught the fancy of Filipinos and became a nationwide sensation.Intriguing is the
fact that at that time, ABS-CBN and GMAs shows lord over television and their shows occupy a
very huge chunk of the ratings pie. In came Marimar and shoved its rivals ratings. What made
this foreign telenovela so special that it was ableto do such? On the marketing perspective,
what strategies were employed that led to the tipping of the ratings scale?
Since RPN-9 began to turn around in the year of 1996, thanks to the phenomenal Mexican
telenovelas like Marimarand Maria la del Barrio that helped the broadcast network post a net
income of P297 million that year. RPN then opened its programming to block timers, who
bought airtime from the network. Solar has been aggressive in improving RPNs prime time
programming by coming up with locally produced shows.
"We have been trying our programming formats to improve our audience share. Hopefully, with
RPN, we will have better ratings," said Robert T. Rivera, the president and CEO of RPN.
A widely popular American TV series like Community, The Walking Dead, Smallville, The Big
Bang Theory, Chicago Fire, 24: Live Another Day, Revolution and Law & Order. The Kasama
Network also broadcasts the phenomenal reality contest Survivor and American Idol.
Based on media research group Kantar Media/TNS Philippines reports, RPNs audience share
currently hits an average of 19%, at the bottom of the ratings charts behind dominant television
companies ABS-CBN Corporation and GMA Network, Inc., which get an average of 54% and
43% respectively. IBC-13 (30%) and TV5 (22%) now also shares the number 3 spot in the
ratings game. While not privy to government negotiations regarding the sale of RPN, Rivera
expressed optimism that the changes in programming would boost the networks chances of
being sold at a higher price than earlier estimates. The Kasama Network RPN-9 who
brought Marimar, Maria la del Barrio, Luz Y Sombra and Quinceanera to the Filipinos hearts
becoming the huge success on Philippine television as Thalia fans in the Philippines.
The government-owned station RPN-9 first aired a Mexican telenovela Marimar in 1996
singlehandedly altered the public's viewing habits and became the highest-rating telenovela in
the country that usually reached massive a hit in the Philippines with ratings over 50% and
peaking at 46.5% became the one of the well-loved telenovelas in Philippine television history.
Showbiz critics attributed Marimar's success to several of its qualities. First of all, the story was
about a poor yet charming young woman who went through a slew of misfortunes brought about
by her love for a filthy-rich haciendero. In the end, she discovered that she was the long lost
daughter of a wealthy old man. This revelation greatly turned her life around, enabling her to
exact revenge on her former tormentors, including her childhood love. It was the
characterization of the heroine as an underdog that really tugged at the viewers' heartstrings.
The plot, critics said, was flatly formulaic, but Filipinos naturally have a soft spot for the poor and
oppressed. Audiences could easily relate with the sufferings of Marimar as a reflection of the
socio-economic plight of the majority. Marimar's triumph in the end signified hope, and the fairytale ending satisfied viewers as an escape, at least symbolically, from their bleak plight as
individuals and as a people.
According to Kantar Media, RPN national ratings during the telenovelas primetime slot (6 PM)
increased by as much as 250% in total urban Philippines and as much as 239% in Mega
Manila. Fans of the show have also blown up the micro-blogging site Twitter making subjects
related to Marimar a constant fixture in the trending topics locally and worldwide. Thalia's
physical features, as well as the other actors' faces, were as homespun as ours, another factor
that contributed to Marimar's success. The actors became household names. Babies born at the
height of the show's popularity were named after the characters of the soap; even pet dogs
were named after Pulgoso, Marimar's loyal talking canine.
Among the cast, Thalia gained the most attention and adulation of local viewers, of course. As
expected, her immense popularity called for her to grace the country with a show, which was
highly feasible since she's a singer and a performer in real life.
Executives of RPN eventually confessed that they had gladly relented to give P1 million-plusper-day for Thalia's expenses during her August 1996 visit. Of course, given the projected
income generated by RPN during the show's phenomenal run, they could well afford to shell out
the hefty sum.
The original Marimar telenovela will be replayed by RPN daily airing from Monday to Friday at 6
p.m. while a radio adaptation titled Marimar Radyo Novela will be broadcast over 15 RPN radio
stations nationwide through Radyo Ronda in Tagalog and Cebuano versions.
RPN-9 launches new TV offensive

June 4, 2014
Competition for the bigger slice of advertising budgets is driving TV networks to come up with
the most creative marketing gimmicks to capture advertisers' attention. First, IBC-13 announced
its "homecoming" via a big bash at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. It was a dressed-up affair with
food and drinks flowing, much in the tradition of the Canoy, Roa and Cruz of Manila's 1,000.
Advertisers were treated to a spectacle - one, tapped and other, live, featuring the "Kapinoy
Network's" new line-up of shows.
Not to mention, the leader network turned the Kasama network RPN-9 created a real sit a
month later, when it invited advertisers and some members of the press to an evening cruise on
Manila Bay aboard. Expectedly, the response from the invited guests was enthusiastic. Here,
indeed was Channel 9's "captive audience," - once on board, it was vieryally impossible to slip
out of the presentation.
RPN-9 presented its "longest 30-seconder", a compilation of the new programs to premiere on
the leader network. Toppling the list are the telenovelas: Mentir Para Vivir, Marimar and Porque
el Amor Manda; the Koreanovela Dear My Sister; new morning animes like Dragon Ball
Z, Crayon Shin Chan and K-ON!.
Then, there are the bset-sellers of foreign canned series on primetime: Law and Order, 24: Live
Another Day,Community, Chicago Fire, The Walking Dead, Mission:
Impossible, Smallville, American Idol, Survivor andRevolution; and some sports programming
fans: the MBA and KBL basketball games; the best MMA fighter UFC; and the boxing matches
for the champion Pacquiao Flashback.
Viewers will also get the chance to see their movie heroes in memorable roles.
From the presentation it was clear that Channel 9 will continue to go the foreign canned series
for the A-B-C audience. For this Philippine television, though, the station has developed several
new local shows for C-D-E viewers (including drama, comedy, talk shows, reality and variety
show).

Corazn Salvaje will be airing after My Family's Lover and originally titled Wild Heart. It is a
Mexican TV series that was produced by Salvador Meja Alejandre in conjunction with Televisa
and broadcast on El Canal de las Estrellas.Corazn Salvaje premiered on October 29, 2009, at
9:00 PM, and aired for a total of 135 episodes. The premiere earned 4.1 million viewers.

Regina and Aime Montes de Oca accompanied by Eduardo Yanez. It is antagonized by
Cristian de la Fuente, Helena Rojo and Enrique Rocha with stellar performances by Laura
Flores, Osvaldo Ros, Mara Rojo, Ren Casados and Elizabeth Gutierrez. The young
protagonists, Gabriel and Jimena, are portrayed by Sebastian Zurita and Angelique
Boyer. Corazn Salvaje, was written by Liliana Abud.
This telenovela is the fourth television adaptation of the classic 1957 novel of the same name
which was written by Caridad Bravo Adams.
In the year 1851, Mara del Rosario (Laura Flores) falls in love with Juan de Dios San Romn
(Osvaldo Ros), a humble fisherman, unaware that another man, Rodrigo Montes de Oca
(Enrique Rocha), is in love with her. Mara del Rosario confesses her love for Juan de Dios to
her sister, Leonarda (Helena Rojo), and tells her of their plans to wed, unbeknownst that
Leonarda harbors a deep hatred for her sister because she is secretly in love with Rodrigo.
Leonarda tells Rodrigo about her sister's wedding plans and he uses his influence with the
authorities to stop the wedding and incarcerate Juan de Dios for life. While visiting him in prison,
Mara del Rosario confesses to Juan de Dios that she is expecting their child. Rodrigo and
Leonarda decide to confine Mara del Rosario to an estate by the sea. Juan de Dios escapes
from jail and searches for Mara del Rosario but Rodrigo discovers their plans to escape and
tries to shoot him.
Juan de Dios flees the estate as Mara del Rosario has begged; he swears he will return for her
and their child. Mara del Rosario gives birth to her son whom Leonarda sends away to be
raised in an orphanage while lying to her sister that the baby died. Upon hearing the news,
Mara del Rosario spirals into insanity. Leonarda decides to deceive Rodrigo and pass her sister
off as dead while locking Mara del Rosario away in the estates basement dungeon. All the
while, Mara del Rosario's son has been rescued from the jungle by Remigio. He adopts the boy
as his brother and takes the child to be raised by Aurora who baptizes him as Juan de Dios, as
requested by a note left with the baby.
Leonarda expects to win Rodrigo after her sister's supposed death. When Rodrigo responds by
leaving Mexico, she decides to marry Noel Vidal (Ren Casados), Rodrigo's friend, who she
does not love. After a few years, they have a son, Renato (Cristin de la Fuente). Rodrigo
announces his return and Leonarda believes that he is returning for her, but to her great
surprise, he arrives married to Constanza (Laisha Wilkins), who is expecting child. Out of
jealousy and anger, Leonardo poisons Constanza. She dies shortly after giving birth to twins
Regina and Aime (both portrayed by Aracely Armbula).
Time passes, in 1880, the now adult Juan decides to return to Mexico to fulfill the oath. Only
now, he has the surnames of his adoptive parents. Juan meets Aime, who is impressed with
him and a torrid relationship full of eroticism and sensuality is born between the two, even
though Juan portrays himself to Aime as a humble poor man. Regina, Aime's twin sister,
disapproves of their relationship.
Meanwhile, Regina wants to marry Renato because she has been in love with him since
childhood, but he is in love with Aime, so Regina enters a convent and becomes a nun. Juan
discovers eventually that Aime is the daughter of his worst enemy and angrily rejects her. He
then leaves so that he will not hurt her or her sister whom he considers innocent of their fathers
treachery. Aime, rejected by Juan, marries Renato as she cannot live without the luxuries he
offers. Juan decides he cannot live without Aime and the passion he feels for her and decides
to return for her. Upon his return, he learns of her marriage to Renato and decides to have
revenge, but his passion for Aime again defeats him, and an illicit relationship is established
between the two. They decide to escape together, but when Renato discovers that Aime may
be cheating on him with Juan, Regina intervenes to save her sister by pretending to be the
woman that Juan was secretly seeing. Renato thus obligates Juan to marry Regina.
Aime searches for a way to win Juan back but he tells her that he feels nothing for her now
because he has discovered true love with Regina. Aime tries to find a way to get rid of her
sister and Renato so she can have Juan. She gets caught drugging Renato as he walks in,
leading Aime to scream at him telling him everything about her affair with Juan and that she
only married him for his money. Renato tries to choke her but she escapes his grip, and runs
into the woods during a torrential thunderstorm. Aime runs to the witch who gave her the
potion to drug Renato and asks her for help. The witch says all she can do for her is to give her
a horse that a merchant traded her for help. She then tells Aime to run to the lowest part of the
river stream and swim to the other side because that will distort the scent Renato's dogs have of
Aime and they will not be able to chase her. Aime scurries and gets lost; she goes the wrong
way and ends up high on a cliff above the beach. Renato, on horseback, with his dogs chasing
Aime, sees her on the cliff and tells her to stop. Aime, intent on escaping, keeps going to the
top of the cliff. The horse she is on gets scared and abruptly halts. The horse bolts, and Aime
falls off, rolling down the rocky cliff to her death.
Days later after Aime's funeral, Renato discovers (by reading her diary), that Regina loved him
since childhood. Jealous, determined to get rid of Juan, and annul his marriage to Regina,
Renato pledges to win back Regina's love. Noel, his father, tries to convince him to end his
struggle against Juan and accept Juan and Regina's relationship. Renato is unable to let go of
his anger and jealousy and is convinced he can win Regina's love. He confronts Juan in a great
battle in which Juan is victorious but disappears after falling into the sea. Arcadio attacks
Regina and Renato intervenes, saving Regina but is mortally stabbed by Arcadio who escapes.
Juan re-encounters Regina while Renato is dying in her arms. On his deathbed, Renato asks
Juan and Regina for their forgiveness as he tried to separate them and annul their marriage.
Rodrigo locks Leonarda in the dungeons where she kept Mara del Rosario. He tells her she is
going to pay for all the pain and suffering she caused; Leonarda soon dies from starvation.
Rodrigo also kills Arcadio in the dungeons. Soon after, Rodrigo is captured and locked up for all
his past atrocities. Noel visits him in jail and Rodrigo tells Noel that in one month, no less, he
should go visit the dungeons as a surprise is waiting for him. A month later, Noel goes to the
dungeons and is shocked to see the remains of Leonarda's corpse. Finally, a while later,
Rodrigo dies in jail from a heart attack.
In the end, Juan del Diablo San Romn and a pregnant Regina Montes de Oca get married.
The now happy couple sets sail into the sunset on Juan's ship.
Corazn Salvaje airs on 9TV starting August 11 at 10:00PM after My Family's Lover.

RPN 9, their foundation as the leading TV network even further back in the contest ABS CBN.
They still hold that the biggest stars led by Nora Aunor, Dolphy, Alma Moreno, Nida Blanca,
TVJ, etc. Show Superstar indeed made RPN 9 the number 1 TV station of the 70's until the late
80's.
I wish that RPN would bring back on its own programming and to air again with US TV shows, a
telenovelas, Asian dramas, animes, cartoons, movies, etc.
A quick click on the TV remote today on Channel 9 gives viewers a timer teaser on the new
9TV which would have its launch tonight at 7pm tomorrow (timer says so).
Signing on tomorrow, Aug. 23, at 7 p.m. is 9TV and it promises an exciting and dynamic viewing
experience for the Filipino audience. Kicking off the official sign-on will be a musical
extravaganza featuring the countrys biggest stars. "We realize that our target market is an
active segment follow something on a daily basis."
They have entertaining shows are Malayo Pa Ang Umaga, Bisperas ng
Kasaysayan, Cebu, Davao, Boracay, Eat Bulaga!, Flordeluna, John en
Marsha, Superstar, Champoy, Buddy en Sol, they did bring in such foreign canned shows such
as MacGyver, The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ally McBeal, Felicity, NYPD Blue, Dharma
and Greg, Chicago Hope and The Practice, telenovelas La Traidora, Marimar, Simplemente
Maria, Acapulco, Maria la del Barrio, Luz Clarita, Preciosa, La Usurpadora, Maria Isabel, etc.
RPN-9 were indeed enjoying good ratings with this shows during that time in terms of local
shows.
He added that with the channels new programming came the need for the network to change its
brand name. The network had been known as Radio Philippines Network (RPN) 9 since 1960.
The arrangement allowed the network to reformat its overall programming while at the same
time provide enough room for innovations that would cater to a broader market.
RPN-9 becoming 9TV the newest force to contend with as it joins the league of free-TV
channels in the country when it starts broadcasting its powerhouse lineup of shows this
Saturday, 23 August 2014 at 7pm.
It will bring back its glory dahs under Cabangon-Chua, this marks the beginning of the channel's
thrust to reach a wider audience and to strengthen its presence on free TV RPN 9 as the major
player in the Philippine TV industry aimed towards a bigger audience, which is home to
the KBL and MBA basketball.
The Kasama Network provides Filipino audiences with new, exciting and refreshing programs
that will surely delight their TV viewing experience. The newest free TV channel caters to target
the underserved demographic of 30 and aptly termed including those who are young at heart-generally the progressive Pinoys. 9TV promises to be your new home on Philippine television.

Television viewing is certainly getting exciting on the local front as a major player continues to
break in the network duel scene and shakes the TV landscape. Since 9TV was launched with its
new look and innovative programming in June 1960 and August 23, 2014, the network has
steadily attracted more audiences, gaining substantially in both Nationwide and Mega Manila TV
environments and eventually breaking away from the third player role as it enters into the
dominant networks viewership battle.
Continuing to attract a sizeable viewership base, RPN-9 as 9TV targets the Progressive Pinoy
audiences. These are the 30 year-old and below demographic segment belonging to the mass
market C and D, who are open to change and are willing to try out new experiences, events,
and discoveries.
True to its rallying call, Kasama Ako!, 9TV has successfully created waves in the Filipinos TV

SHAKING THE STATUS QUO. The Kasama Network's overhaul was made possible after the
Cabangon Chua-owned network entered into a long-term block airtime agreement with ALC
Group of Companies, the Solar Television Network company and Solar Entertainment
Corporation.
The tie-up allowed RPN-9 to boost its programming, which consequently bolstered the network's
chances to compete against established network giants, ABS-CBN and GMA-7 along with IBC13 and TV5.
According to Amb. Antonio L. Cabangon Chua (Chairman) and Benjamin Ramos, (President,
CEO), the sloganKasama Ako!, mirrors the network's objective of radically altering the public's
boxed viewing habits. The young network executive shared that they're here to offer alternative
programs to cater to the needs of those who are looking for something different aside from the
usual flavor offered on the primetime slot.
"Our objective is to shake the TV landscape and be able to shake your viewing habits," said Mr.
Antonio in a conversation with PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). "Ang maraming tao kasi
akala nila Dos and Siyete lang, hindi, gusto namin ma-shake yong perception mo."
According to Mr. Antonio, RPN-9 is still handling the engineering side but Solar Entertainment
Corporaton will be providing the content of the TV station. Pat Marcelo-Magbanua is now in
charge of media relations for RPN-9 but Terra Daffon is still with corporate affairs of RPN-9. In
the question and answer portion of 9TV press launch, Mr. Sy allayed fears that the TV station
might be influenced by Malaysian investors. He explained, "RPN-9 is still owned by the
chairman Amb. Antionio Cabangon Chua."
The primetime block of rival networks ABS-CBN, GMA-7, IBC-13 and TV5 are filled with
telenovelas but RPN-9 promises to deliver varied shows that veer away from this genre. 9TVs
schedule can be seen on their official Facebook You can also find the viewers reactions.
"We want to give people an alternative. If we offer people another teleserye, pareho lang kami
sa Channel 2 and Channel 7. I think they are serving their market very well but we just want to
want to provide an alternative for people who wants to watch a teleserye on primetime." Starting
tonight, August 23, 9TV now airs its new programming using its brand new 100kw transmitter
that cost US2.6 million (about P117 million). This allows 9TV to be picked up in areas as far as
San Jose, Cabanatuan in the north.

The Kasama Network Radio Philippines Network (RPN) is the member of the Kapisanan ng
mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), posted profits of P15 million in the first half of the year, a
turnaround from the full-year loss of P10 million incurred in 2013 with the Golden Age of
Philippine Television, as it is more popularly known to millions of listeners and viewers of its
varied programs celebrates its 54th anniversary as a leader in the Philippine Communications
industry. Viewed from any perspective, such increase in number indicates growth in listenership
and viewership of a considerable magnitude and scale. That growth can rightfully be attributed
to a work ethic guided by a fine sense for balance programming, an openness for innovative
ideas, and a talent discovery and development.
As home to the freshest US episodes of established TV series and MBA basketball, RPN
cemented its status as the coolest and hippest free TV channel in a country that is still
predominantly without cable TV service with a mixed formula of the Philippine television
programs and mixed a Filipino-American programming. Filipino deserves balanced, quality
programming, innovative and creative shows, and sports.
RPN has 9 TV stations located in the cities, TV relay and translator stations in Iriga and 12 other
population centers in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and 15 radio stations strategically spread
out over the archipelago. Providing responsible entertainment and information is part of RPNs
mission and vision, and balanced programming is necessary to achieve this mission refreshing
change from the traditional, says RPN president and CEO Robert Rivera which said fighting it
on ABS-CBN and GMA.
As the poineer in balanced programming, the governmwnt-owned sequestered TV and radio
station RPN-9 claims to be the leader network in the country that with the reputation of offering
Filipino viewers the best balanced of program that combines from the top-rating local and
foreign entertainment, family friendly values, up-to-date and responsible delivery of news and
information, public service and educational.
We want to commend Mr. Wilson Tieng of Solar Entertainment to its bold steps to invest for
reinvigorating the RPN-9 by producing more programs among local and foreign canned shows.
If the giant TV networks ABS-CBN and GMA are the major TV networks in the country and
follow him IBC and TV5, not far pursued to catch RPN-9 due to aggression that Mr. Tieng to
restore the major TV network RPN-9.
Just watch for the preparation of RPN 9 by Wilson Tieng of Solar Entertainment and participate
in network war. Now just to be retrieved are many artists that they will feature many local shows
begin to air. The actor big name appears as the television stations that appear. Solar
Entertainment to grow viewership of The Kasama Network to led the performance of television
programs.
Roebrt T. Rivera, RPN president and CEO, expects more robust performance toward yearend
as the unit estimates a net income at least P5 million for the third quarter alone. He attributes
the years record revenues to better programming, acceptance by its target viewers and positive
perception of advertisers with its niche foreign language programming draws high numbers via
American TV series and programs that appeal to young, upscale and masses viewers, said
RPN chairman Wilson Tieng.
RPN broadcasts all English language programs through a nationwide network of VHF stations.
In a survey conducted by Trends, RPN emerged as the number 3 statiion among the A-B
socioeconomic group and also among the A-B-C classes in the upscale and masses age group.
In terms of image among the A-B-C-D-E respondents, the station under most exciting and in the
category hip and cool and the number 3 spot, next to ABS-CBN and GMA along with the
number 3 runners of IBC and TV5, according to the recent survey of Kantar Media. The industry
perceives RPN-9 as a trailblazing phenomenal TV station owing to its innovative concepts,
flexibility, and introduction of new, high quality products both in terms of programs and
advertising opportunities. The station has also improved its signal quality tremendously. It owns
and operates 10 broadcasting stations throughout the Philippines and 15 radio stations.
As the network who brought us such Filipino mini-series Malayo Pa ang Umaga, Bisperas ng
Kasaysayan, Cebu andDavao, classic TV shows John en Marsha, Ang Bagong Kampeon, Eat
Bulaga!, Superstar, Flordeluna, Champoy,Buddy en Sol, Young Love, Sweet Love, among
others. RPN aims to deliver more quality programming that is basically pro-people and proservice. RPN's strength lies in its inventory of programs based on foreign produced primetime
programming materials which was concepcualized in the 80's. The programming scheme
proved to be a resounding success which later on become a major marketing play in attracting
advertisers. RPN was a big player in the local broadcast industry with several shows and
special coverage in its fold. It aired special coverage like the Olympics, Thrilla in Manila and the

Blue, The Practice, Dharma and Greg, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, among others.
Due to our continuing investments in better facilities and transmission equipment, The Kasama
Network now has a strong signal that is as crystal clear as anyone elses in Mega Manila. Mega
Manila is not only Metro Manila but also includes the surrounding provinces such as Bulacan,
Pampanga, Cavite, Rizal, Laguna and Batangas, Quiogue says. He adds that the VHF channel
now has the third most extensive reach nationwide, behind ABS-CBN Channel 2 and GMA
Channel 7 along with number 3 slot of IBC and TV5.

number 3 position in the TV industry behind Channels 2 and 7, based on the recent surveys of
Kantar Media/TNS. The country's fledgling network has made a dent on the viewing audience.
Has started to hit the right track record in its present programming and home to the sports
programming of the popular regional basketball game league Metropolitan Basketball
Association (MBA).
RPN maintains a close ratio between its foreign canned programs on Philippines primetime
television history and the station's locally-produced shows. Being an active buyer in the world's
video marts, The Kasama Network has a wive inventory of top-rated foreign series as well as
specials, concerts and Miss Universe beauty pageant. It is very aggressive in local program
development. RPN airs the MBA basketball games every Wednesday and Friday from 7:309:30PM, Saturdays at 2:30-4:30PM and Sundays 1:30-5:30PM. The MBA teams represent a
particular city, province and island in the country.
The teams are grouped into two conferences: Northern (Luzon and Metro Manila) and Southern
(Visayas/Mindanao). The MBA had adopted several methods of determining its champion. The
season concludes with the MBA National Finals, where the Northern Conference champion
faces the Southern Conference champion to decide the MBA Championshipthat the regional
basketball league. Since started in 1998, the Metropolitan Basketball Association (MBA) is the
world-renowned basketball league now is on its 15th year under Solar Sports, the ABL and
MBAs television partner in partnership with RPN, expect the Kasama Network to bring this
long-running and national pastime to even greater heights and is definitely pushing for more
excitement for the coverage of hardcore basketball games with a Filipino sports fans. Without a
doubt, the MBA fulfills the promise of more than scream-your-lungs-out kind of games.
It has Northrern Conference: Batangas Blades, Laguna Lakers, Manila Metrostars, Nueva Ecija
Patriots, Olongapo Volunteers, Baguio Stars, Pampanga Stars, Pangasinan Waves, Pasig-Rizal
Pirates and San Juan Knights; and the Southern Conference: Cebu Gems, Davao Eagles,
Cagayan de Oro Nuggets, Iloilo Volts, Negros Slashers and Surigao Warriors.
MBA basketball resulted in consistent double digit ratings and a solid audience share despite
appeared to be a decline in the overall popularity of basketball and the troubles besetting the
league. The MBA had adopted the several methods of determining its champion in the homeand-away play format in the Philippine basketball landscape. The season concludes with the
MBA National Finals, where the Northern Conference champion faces the Southern Conference
champion to decide the MBA Championship. Foreign canned shows have helped boost Channel
9's ratings at the number 3 spot.
It was more economically viable for RPN to carry its own programming instead of
the MBA games in partnership of Solar Sports, for the network's television channel in the
upscale market. The Kasama officials said they will weave the coverage of the twin MBA
opening hoopla into mega presentation live on RPN via the network's state-of-the-art braodcast
satellite facilities.
It also enjoys good relations with blocktimers and co-producers by Solar Entertainment
Corporation, who further widen its programming birth.Being young and upscale, RPN has drive
and dynamism of one in a hurry to go places. In a span of the months, it has developed close to
the local productions (drama, comedy, talk shows, variety shows, game shows and reality

"With Play FM's relaunch, we're not also bringing the T op 40 hits and local favorites to
the Filipinos but also putting fun in the airwaves, which has been lackign now-a-days,"
says RPN VP for Radio Joseph Gorospe. Play offers what its executives call "all the hits"
- entertainment throigh good music, cool artists, irresistible events, and on-air
interactivities and promos.
There are some changes around this new station. Its that this station caters to the

college; from the aspirational to the affluent backgrounds.
First radio station to give away huge cash prizes on a daily basis. The promo was
called Play Cash Payoff, whereby a song is played and is identified as the money song
of the day. Once the song is repeated anytime of the day, the 106th caller by the time
the song is replayed will win a cash prize anywhere from P1,000 to P10,000.
Side-by-side the glorious re-entry into the FM sphere is Play's fresh voices owned by

Network war beginning of Channels 9

June 1, 2014
As the phenomenal network who brought us the classic TV shows as John en
Marsha, Superstar, Champoy, Buddy en Sol, Tell the People, Eat Bulaga!, Young Love, Sweet
Love, the award-winning Filipino mini-series such as Malayo Pa ang Umaga, Bisperas ng
Kasaysayan, Cebu and Davao, the telenovela hits like Marimar, Simplemente Maria, Luz
Clarita, Maria la del Barrio, Preciosa, La Usurpadora and Maria Isabel, outstanding foreign
canned series MacGyver,Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, Ally McBeal, Felicity, NYPD
Blue, Dharma and Greg, Roswell, Chicago Hopeand The Practice.
RPN aims to deliver most quality programming that is basically pro-people and pro-service.
In celebration on its 54th anniversary of Philippine television history, Radio Philippines Network
(RPN) is now join the growing number fo free TV stations in Metro Manila making the
competition for viewership and advertising revenues even stiffer. The Kasama Network is the
aggressive of Solar Entertainment, together with the country's number 3 station IBC-13 (The
Kapinoy Network) to assert its dominance in the industry.
Wilson Tieng, Solar Entertainment president and CEO and is now RPN-9 chairman, said in a
recent press conference briefing that the network paves the way for the segmentation of the
network's audience. "What's happening now is the definition of viewership by way of income
strata," he explained. "While the sequestered TV station turned into the broadcasting giant IBC13 research tells us that the majority of Channel 13 viewers belong to the C-D-E classes, there
is RPN that tapped potential viewership belonging top the upper and middle A-B-C markets
which would normally prefer English language (read: American) programs and now expand of
C-D-E market for those Filipino language (read: Filipino) programs for the masses."
With the relaunch of the new leader network and as IBC Channel 13 streamlines its
programming to focus on local programs, IBC could corner between 85 to 100 percent of the TV
audience in Metro Manila alone.
And that's possible with the station's 100-kilowatt transmitter which Tieng said assures the
viewers of crisp video and audio reception. Existing other channels have a reception, the reason
perhaps why media buyers are convinced about their effectiveness. "That scenario would
definitely change as we go on the air last June 29, 1960," Tieng added. "When we made our
proposals to them and presented the program packages that we plan to include out
programming grid, we assured them that RPN-9's reception would definitely compete with the
network war in VHF stations. It seems that their requirement is reception."
The newest network, said president nand CEO Robert T. Rivera, has been designed to project
something like a regulat TV station, "Except perhaps the fact that it will carry all English and
Filipino language programs, including the Filipino newscast at 6:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. English
newscast."
The station will initially operate with the satellite broadcast. "We will definetely expand our
programming, and even this early we are already mulling the several locally produced shows. In
the meantime, we are concentrating on the imports that we have in our valuts."
The station's programming grid is divided into blocks. World-Class US Primetime which will put

Rivera's optimism about The Kasama Network is buttressed by his claim that it will also go on a
nationwide simulcast. Already in place, he said, are 11 stations in the archipelago's key cities,
each powered by either a 100-or 80-watt transmitter as well as 15 radio stations, including AM
radio station for news and public service DZKB Radyo Ronda 1422 and the FM radio station for
music entertainment 99.5 Play FM in Mega Manila.
Robert T. Rivera, president and CEO of RPN-9
Contrary to fears expressed by some members of the press, this new move by the broadcasting
giant will cannibalze its own market, it may even fortify it. Expected to be affected mainly the
network which have been redirecting their programming thrusts to the A-B-C brackets.
The bottom line, however, is still how a very discriminating high-end viewership largely
influenced by the unabated entry of Hollywood and local entertainment magazines in the
country would accept the program lineup of RPN-9. The upshot, of course, is how deft the new
station's program acquisition guys could put up an attractive bid to the best shows there are on
American TV now. And that really spell a big difference.
ANO BANG NANGYARI SA CHANNEL 9?

June 23, 2014
RPN-9 is now offered a variety of imported programming for those who wanted more than the
usual slapstick and sampalan ABS-CBN and GMA 7 shoves to the viewers faces, while IBC
and TV5 still the no.3 spot. RPN-9 can import more and better imported programs. His vast
sources can also help boost the new network and finally compete with the Two. Their own
noontime show, the creation of their own stable of stars and alternative local programming were
some of the possibilities that made TV insiders and fans talking.
After acquiring the rights to cover KBL and MBA games, the network became all of its imported
programs. RPN-9s biggest show was a Mexican telenovela Marimar. Showing the local toprated John en Marsha starring the main stars Dolphy and the variety show Superstar with Nora
Aunor, What happened to RPN-9? Was acquiring the KBL and MBAso expensive that RPN-9 to
resources to spend on better programs. Well, the sequestered TV station IBC-13, is now the
number 3 network. And TV5 and RPN-9s primetime programming, thanks to Solar
Entertainment, than anything RPN-9 has to offer. Heres a good suggestion.
A new network programming thrust for RPN-9

(Enrique Rocha), is in love with her. Mara del Rosario confesses her love for Juan de Dios to
her sister, Leonarda (Helena Rojo), and tells her of their plans to wed, unbeknownst that

as his brother and takes the child to be raised by Aurora who baptizes him as Juan de Dios, as
requested by a note left with the baby.
Leonarda expects to win Rodrigo after her sister's supposed death. When Rodrigo responds by
leaving Mexico, she decides to marry Noel Vidal (Ren Casados), Rodrigo's friend, who she
does not love. After a few years, they have a son, Renato (Cristin de la Fuente). Rodrigo
announces his return and Leonarda believes that he is returning for her, but to her great
surprise, he arrives married to Constanza (Laisha Wilkins), who is expecting child. Out of

New investor vows to turn RPN 9 around

7:30 am | Saturday, August 23rd, 2014
Radio Philippines Network, Inc. Studio. FACEBOOK PHOTO
THE GROUP of Filipino-Chinese businessman and former ambassador Antonio CabangonChua acquired a key stake in broadcasting firm Radio Philippines Network Inc. (RPN 9) with
plans to restore the TV firms lost luster and bring it back to profitability once again.
The challenge now is to stop the bleeding of RPN 9 so we have to be more creative, Benjamin
Ramos, chief financial officer of Cabangon-Chuas ALC Group, said in an interview.
Cabangon-Chua, whose media assets include newspaper BusinessMirror and radio station Aliw
Broadcasting Corp., was taking three out of nine board seats in RPN-9 after buying out the
shares of Wilson Tiengs Solar Entertainment Group, Ramos said.
TV is a challenging business but we are already in media, through print and radio, so why not
give it a try, Ramos said, citing a strong partnership with Solar TV. Asked whether a turnaround
for RPN-9 was possible in five years, Ramos said they were targeting to do it earlier than that.
RPN 9 was once the countrys premier television broadcaster before a popular revolt in 1986
replaced strongman Ferdinand Marcos with Corazon Cory Aquino, mother of President
Benigno Aquino III.
Ramos declined to discuss the value of the transaction, but said the deal with Solar
Entertainment should be closed within the year pending certain deliverables, which he did not
disclose.
A source with knowledge of the matter said that RPN-9, which is losing hundreds of millions
pesos a year due to labor separation issues, had an estimated enterprise value of $30 million,
valuing Cabangon-Chuas stake at about $10 million. RPN 9 also has liabilities estimated at P2
billion, the source said.
Ramos said the deal would initially be a personal investment of Cabangon-Chua but
eventually would find a place within ALC, a privately held group for more than 20 companies
involved in banking, real estate, pre-need, automotive and media.
Cabangon-Chuas entry into RPN 9 comes amid the stiff competition in the TV industry, where
the country's two biggest broadcasters, ABS-CBN Corp. and GMA Network, manage to stay
profitable. Currently, IBC-13 now also becoming the third biggest broadcaster, owned by the
group of businessman Eric Canoy and Boots Anson-Roa, it has been strugglinh with eatings
and earnings despite billions of investments into the venture.
Still, the lure of television remained strong given that the industry captured about 78 percent of
the P340 billion that companies spent for advertising in the Philippines last year, data from
Kantar Media showed. Advertising could ramp up anew starting 2015, mainly due to politicalrelated spending ahead of the 2016 elections. Ramos, also president of BusinessMirror, was
named president of RPN-9 while Cabangon-Chua would be chair, he said. There is no decision
yet on who would fill the third seat.
Another key shareholder is the family of RPN-9 founder Roberto Benedicto a known Marcos
associate with three board seats. The Benedictos were open to selling their estimated 32percent stake in RPN 9, but at a steep price, an industry source said.
Meanwhile, the government controlled two seats while minority stockholders held the
remaining board slot, Ramos said. The RPN-9 transaction was possible because the Benedicto
family managed to enter into a compromise agreement with the new government after the fall of
Marcos, allowing it to keep some of its stake in the TV broadcaster from sequestration by the
government. That compromise was later questioned by the Presidential Commission on Good
Government but the Benedictos finally obtained favorable rulings from the Sandiganbayan and
the Supreme Court about four years ago.
Tieng eventually came in as a content provider and converted advances into equity, diluting all
other shareholders. Tieng thus obtained 34 percent while the Benedictos trimmed their interest
to 32 percent while government-held shares were pared to 20 percent.
We have the of quality of the shows from the network, and the quality of the people watching it.
Those two qualitites are mmatched. GMA and ABS CBN has the trash quality that the people
wants.
Businessman Ramon Ang, also president of conglomerate San Miguel Corp., was previously
approached to invest in RPN 9, a source with knowledge of the matter said. But Ang eventually
decided to acquire a 30-percent share in GMA Network, one of the countrys biggest television
networks. That deal could close by early next month, GMA chair Felipe Gozon had said.
Third-ranked TV5, owned by the group of businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan, has been
struggling with ratings and earnings despite billions of investments poured into the venture. Still,
Pangilinan said that TV5 could be back in the black in the next few years.
Marimar naman ang nagpataas ng ratings ng RPN 9 noon..What it means? Mahilig sa soap
opera ang mga Pinoy, not things that matters.
Ang sabi ng article, RPN 9 was once the premiere TV broadcaster before 1986. Marimar was
shown during the 90s. I think the article was referring to the Flordeluna years.
I agree RPN 9 has a good shows even after 1986, like Buddy en Sol, Mag-Asawa'y di
Biro, Tipitipitim Tipitom and other foreign shows like The Simpsons, Legend of Kung Fu, Friday
the 13th TV series. I even watched Captain Planetand the Planeteers. Then the 90s came and
they started broadcasting telenovelas with the likes of La Traidora,Marimar (no doubt a hugely
popular show), Maria la del Barrio and so on.
From RPN transform into 9TV starts today on

August 23!

Game Format
Edit
This version of the show is based heavily on the American versionwhich in turn is based on The
Million Pound Drop Live. At the beginning, a pair of contestants are presented with a million
pesos (40 bundles of 25,000 pesos in 20 peso bills), they must be able to keep their money until
the end of the game by correctly answering 8 multiple choice questions by placing their bundles
of money on the trapdoor (among 4) they think is correct in 60 seconds. If they are wrong, the
money placed on the trapdoor will fall down the "money drop". They may distribute their money
on multiple trapdoors if they are not sure of the answer, however, one trapdoor must alway be
left empty. At certain questions, a trapdoor is put out of play. Whatever money they have left is
theirs to keep.
Quick Change
Edit
The contestants may use one "Quick Change" during the game, on any question except the
eighth. This feature allows them an extra 30 seconds to distribute their cash among the
trapdoors. If no trapdoors are left open and the contestants still have the Quick Change, it will
automatically be used.
