After conquering the Indonesian free-TV with
Filipino shows “Pangako Sa’Yo” (Janjiku) and “On the Wings of Love”, ABS-CBN
Global is about to bring more Filipino shows to the country with its
partnership with Ninmedia Indonesia.
ABS-CBN
Global, the international subsidiary of the largest Filipino media and
entertainment company ABS-CBN, is bringing to Indonesia—one of the Southeast
Asian countries with the largest economy today—three of its channels: The Filipino
Channel (TFC), ABS-CBN Sports + Action, and Lifestyle Network.
“We
are excited about this opportunity to give the Indonesian viewers a different
kind of viewing experience, hoping to satisfy their diverse viewing needs,”
said ABS-CBN Global Chief Operating Officer Olivia De Jesus.
The
flagship brand of ABS-CBN Global, TFC, houses informative and entertaining
shows. Some of the popular programs today are “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano”
(Brothers) which stars Coco Martin and “The General’s Daughter” with lead star
Angel Locsin.
Meantime,
ABS-CBN Sports and Action is the free TV sports channel of ABS-CBN. Its
programs cover local and international athletic events
and produce original shows that put the spotlight to different athletes and
sports.
On
the other hand, inspiring and empowering women to pursue their passion is the
goal of the channel Lifestyle Network. Its programs cover women’s diverse
interests from self-love, food, travel, and
entertainment.
With this announcement, some
Indonesian viewers who were fans of the previously aired ABS-CBN shows expressed their excitement. One of them
is Ferizka Dewi who said, “WOW! Pinoy teleseryes
her in Indonesia? Exciting! Good luck, TFC!”.
Meantime,
Indonesian national Nat Widiasari, who is doing graduate studies in Manila, is
glad that ABS-CBN Global channels will be available in Indonesia. “Really? It's
good. I think the more ASEAN countries share their shows the closer we are to
each other,” she said.
These
ABS-CBN Global channels will reach even viewers at the outskirts of the country
through the first and only free satellite TV platform, Ninmedia.
“With
this partnership, we’re sure it can make
more potential viewers in Indonesia and we hope all of Ninmedia's existing
viewers will get a new experience from the
three favorite channels of ABS-CBN,” said Rahadi Arsyad, CEO of Ninmedia.
Get

interest as TFC, ABS-CBN Sports + Action, and Lifestyle Network channels can
