The Kapamilya Network may have lost its franchise in 2020.
As one of the leading content providers in the country, it continues to embody the saying, ‘if there’s a will, there’s a way’ as it has been partnering with several media heavyweights since its shutdown.
In October 2020, ABS-CBN partnered with Zoe TV Broadcasting Network via a block time deal to return to free TV via the A2Z Channel 11.
In January 2021, The Kapamilya Network partnered with the Kapatid Network (TV5) to expand its free TV reach through block time deals as well, starting with the Sunday noontime program ASAP Natin ‘To and other ABS-CBN programs soon after.
Then in March 2021, ABS-CBN partnered with the streaming service WeTV iFlix to bring the Kapamilya Primetime Bida to its audience on an earlier streaming date than on TV.
After that, in November 2021, ABS-CBN announced its partnership with the Asian streaming service iQiyi to produce two original series, Saying Goodbye and Hello Heart.
In January 2022, ABS-CBN and streaming service, Viu announced their partnership to bring to Filipinos quality content, starting with The Broken Marriage Vow, the Philippine adaptation of BBC’s Doctor Foster.
Then in February 2022, ABS-CBN announced its partnership with YouTube to develop and produce the original romantic-comedy series, How to Move On in 30 Days.
With the Kapamilya Network’s new business strategy that promotes partnership and collaboration with media companies, what could Filipinos around the world expect next from the former media giant?
