Australian Boardcasting Company
From BluWiki
Radio Philippines Network, Inc. (RPN) is a television broadcaster in the Philippines owned by the Government Communications Group. The company operates a broadcast television network known on-air as C/S9. The network previously used the RPN name on-air, but Radio Philippines Network remains the legal name of the network.
History
RPN was launched on June 29, 1960 as the Kanlaon Broadcasting System (KBS). Kanlaon is a volcano on the Philippine island of Negros, the home of Benedicto During the 1970s, the network enjoyed popularity when its shows John En Marsha, Flordeluna (which starred the then-rising star Janice de Belen), and Superstar (featuring "Superstar" Nora Aunor) were hits. The title of its nightly newscast, NewsWatch, became the generic name for any televised newscasts because it was the premiere newscast of its day; and its panel of newscasters, led by Harry Gasser, Cathy Santillian and Frankie Abao, Jr. became household names.
During these glory years, RPN became one of the first Philippine television stations to broadcast anime, including Macross, Voltes V, Astroboy, Starblazers (predating ABC by a decade), and later airing Dragonball Z in the mid-90's. It also aired popular series from the United States, like Hunter, Airwolf, and MacGyver; as well as game shows like The Price is Right.
After the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, the stock and assets of RPN, IBC and Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation's BBC-2 were sequestered by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG). President Corazon Aquino awarded BBC, through an executive order, to ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation headed by Eugenio Lopez, Jr. RPN's and IBC's assets were turned over to the Government Communications Group.
It fell into a slump with the resurrection of ABS-CBN and the reformatting of its one-time rival GMA Network. However, the network gained popularity once again in 1996 when it aired the Mexican soap opera Marimar and started a telenovela craze in the country.
Partnership with Solar Entertainment
On March 11, 2007, RPN began a partnership with the Solar Entertainment Corporation, which began co-producing new programming for the network, such as a local version of America's Next Top Model. The network underwent management changes on December 24, 2007, as Tonypet Albano (undersecretary and executive director of Malacañang'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.<ref>ABS-CBN Interactive, Tonypet Albano is new RPN-9 chief</ref>
Mercado's first major move was to extend their partnership with Solar Entertainment, with programming from their cable network C/S premiering on RPN at the start of the new year. On May 27, 2008, it was announced that RPN would become a broadcaster of Philippine Basketball Association games starting in the 2008-09 season as part of a three-year contract with Solar Sports, who would provide supplemental coverage of the league on their cable network Basketball TV.<ref>PBA.ph SOLAR SPORTS BAGS 3-YEAR PBA TV DEAL</ref>
In October 2008, RPN's stations ultimately took on the C/S name as part of their permanent branding, now known as C/S 9. Later, the name change of the comapny, that in time for RPN's 50th anniversary in 2010, the comapny will change from Radio Philippines Network to Solar Media Network and the name as part of their permanent branding, now known as SRTV 9.
