GMA7-TV5 Merger: PLDT in Talks With Banks to Fund the Acquisition




PHILIPPINE LONG Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) has begun approaching creditors to prepare for plans to acquire GMA Network, Inc. after already raising funds from an asset sale, a ranking official yesterday said.

“We are talking to our bankers,” PLDT Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan told reporters in a chance interview.

“We are preparing [funding] in the event that the deal materializes,” Mr. Pangilinan added, referring to ongoing talks to buy into broadcaster GMA Network.

The bulk of the funding, however, will come from PLDT’s cash flow, Mr. Pangilinan said.

Already, PLDT has raised some P4 billion after divesting its 27% stake or 397 million shares in PhilWeb Corp. at P10.70 apiece.

ABS-CBN Executives Received Higher Compensation Than GMA-7 Execs



They may dispute each other's rankings, but when it comes to executive compensation, ABS-CBN is definitely way, way ahead of competing GMA Network.

ABS-CBN reported Thursday that it paid chief executive and child of owner Eugenio "Gabby" Lopez III and its four highest officers nearly P233.4 million last year, which works out to an average of P46.6 million each.

Lopez's charmed circle includes President Ma. Rosario Santos-Concio, Roldeo Theodore Endrinal, Rolando Valdueza and Ma. Socorro Vidanes.

 In contrast, GMA chairman and chief executive Felipe Gozon paid himself and his co-owner, president Gilberto Duavit Jr. as well as Felipe Yalong, Marissa Flores and Wilma Galvante a little over P134 million, or about P23.36 million each.

The combined compensation still includes the last paycheck of broadcaster Miguel Enriquez, who retired from GMA in September 2011 as senior vice president for radio operations.

GMA7 & TV5 Merger Set on November ?!



I was following this story since the rumors arise about possible buyout of GMA Network by Manny V. Pangilinan, aka MVP. Because I’ am interested on what will happen on the TV industry if the buy-out push through or if the merger happens. 

Will MVP can sustain the hold of GMA-7 on Mega Manila and soon dethrone ABS-CBN on the National level. And Will TV5 can rise from being no.3 TV Network in the Philippines and placed ABS-CBN on third. Or the exact opposite will happen that ABS-CBN will still dominate the National TV Arena and will eventually snatch the lead on Mega Manila from GMA-7?

Well, we can only see what will happen after the grand merger happens on November of this year.

This has to be a blind item as of now. Before the year ends, probably end of November, a giant merger will be announced in a grand (as in “fabulous!”) style.

GMA-7 is For Sale? Quality of It Shows on a Decline?



Rumor/News has it that GMA Network, the second-largest TV Network in the Philippines, is for sale. How Much? For Php60 Billion. But PLDT & TV5 Mogul Manny Pangilinan, whom is interested to buy-out GMA-7, says 60 Billion Pesos is too expensive and they can only offer Php45 Billion for the TV Network.

With these for-sale-issue being thrown to Kapuso Network. Is GMA-7 really now on decline?

Is GMA Network on decline?
PinoyTVcritic.com
04.23.2012

With press releases left and right claiming their national supremacy in the ratings game, one could wonder why an article like this is being written to portray GMA Network as declining.

Business-wise, the Kapuso network is sound. It is earning. And it is not in debt.

Why is it that one like this humble blogger surmised that GMA is in a declining stage?

One is the slow and low content development. The network, amid its claim of being the top rating network, lags behind ABS-CBN in the number of shows in development, and the number of locally-produced shows currently being aired.

Although both networks utilized movie blocks to create stable, eye-ball drawing, and revenue-generating blocks with cost efficiency, GMA has in a way went overboard. In fact, one could wonder if the network executives are turning the network into a movie channel to compete not with ABS-CBN, but with Cinema One.

Apart from its 'Kapuso Movie Festival' airing in the mornings from Mondays to Sundays, GMA has also cancelled most of its shows in its Sunday block, and allowed block of 3 movies back-to-back-to-back.

Revamped "TV Patrol" wins and placed no. 1 in TNS(National & Metro Manila) but loses in TNS(Mega Manila) & AGB People Ratings


The Revamped "TV Patrol" started yesterday(Monday- November 8, 2010). And as usual, "TV Patrol" wins in its 'baluarte' in TNS-national and Metro Manila but it seems like mailap ang mga viewers ng Mega Manila sa "TV Patrol" at lumalabas na mas pabor sa kanilang panuorin ang "24 Oras" at "Willing Willie" na parehong nakakuha ng 11.6% sa AGB Mega Manila People ratings. But hindi pa tapos ang laban for "TV Patrol" dahil we never know baka this coming days they will win in the game.

AGB Mega Manila (People Ratings)
FRIDAY(November 5, 2010)

1. "Showtime" is undisputed in the Morning Line-up having 4.9%. While "Eat Bulaga" maintained its leadership in all the afternoon shows with 10.3%

Share

GMA-7 has claimed that it used the hologram technology, which involves the use of 3D images and 360-degree cameras.

Anchor Jessica Soho, in a video posted at GMANews.tv, said they used the same technology employed by the Cable News Network (CNN) in its coverage of the 2008 US polls.


“Gumagamit ito [hologram] ng 3D image na pinapadala dito sa studio. Parang andito sila mismo sa studio, pero sa katunayan, nasa ibang lugar sila (This hologram uses a 3D image that is brought here in the studio. It’s as if they’re really here in the studio, when in fact, they’re in another place),” Soho said in the said video.
