ABS-CBN: unique to all other broadcasters in the world

AS ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation celebrates its 55th anniversary, the country's largest media conglomerate marks a new milestone in Philippine broadcasting history by being the first to do tapeless TV production in and out of their studios.
The Kapamilya Network was the first among Philippine networks to recognize the digital trend in broadcasting by setting up a 100 - percent non-linear post-production workflow. From 2003 to today, ABS-CBN has been increasing its number of editing and audio workstations and server storage to cope with the rising volume of content.
"ABS-CBN is unique to all other broadcasters in the world because we create our own content, about 90 percent. Not even CNN produces this much," cites Raul Bulaong, head of Technical Operations Division. "With the size of our organization and the amount of work that we do, only Avid matches us."
With this development, the Philippines becomes the first in southeast Asia to go tapeless in TV production. In many ways, ABS-CBN has always been an innovator in the industry, pioneering colored television in the country in the 1960 s, and launched Internet TV via TFCnow (formerly abs-cbnnow) in 2004 , and rolled out the Internet Protocol TV or IPTV via TFCko outside the country in 2007.
