*&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; *&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* 

TNC is set to elevate its role as a key player in alternative media through these groundbreaking initiatives:

1/ Showcasing Filipino Culture and Talent

By collaborating with thought leaders, key opinion leaders, and responsible content creators locally and abroad, TNC aims to harness the power of digital media to spotlight the Philippines as a global hub of creativity, excellence, and innovation (or the newness of things).

Flagship programs such as Global Women Who RULE, Me and My Outstanding Mother, and Like Father, Like Son will take on a new dimension in 2025. TNC intends to incorporate more face-to-face events with live audience participation while maintaining its robust live-streaming setup for maximum reach, both nationwide and globally.&nbsp;

3/ TNC combines Media with Music Marketing&nbsp;

TNC together with its partnership with PraXis Experiential will continue to run The Karaoke World Championship (KWC) franchise for the Philippines. This new year and the years to come promise a wave of acquiring new and raw talents from the country and will be exposed to the possibilities of not only competing on the global stage but also an international entertainment management contracts.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With Praxis as TNC’s partner, TNC will continue what it has started for music marketing. TNC is set to get involved in more music festival marketing, management, and productions in the country and abroad.&nbsp;

Through these existing and new collaborations, TNC is committed to amplifying Filipino voices and creating content that resonates across borders, solidifying its place as a global alternative media leader.

An Important Note on Integrity and Excellence

In a recent significant legal victory, The New Channel (TNC) Media Corp. has successfully defended its trademark rights. Not known to many, TNC has filed an Intellectual Property case against Lloyd Luna. The dispute centered on the registration of the trademark "TNC”, which Luna secured for himself under Certificate of Registration No. 4-2021-508618. The Bureau of Legal Affairs (BLA) of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) has ruled in favor of TNC, canceling Luna's registration and affirming the company's ownership of the trademark.

In December 2024, the BLA dismissed Luna's appeal and upheld the original ruling affirming the cancellation of the "TNC" trademark under Luna's name. The BLA's decision highlighted Luna's bad faith in registering the trademark. TNC successfully demonstrated that the mark, which is used by the company, was improperly registered for Luna’s personal benefit.&nbsp;

This marks TNC’s second consecutive legal victory in this dispute, following favorable decisions from both the Adjudication Officer (AO) and the Bureau of Legal Affairs (BLA) of the IPOPHL.&nbsp;

TNC welcomed the ruling, reaffirming its commitment to its mission and the protection of its brand. The company expressed gratitude to the BLA for providing legal clarity that underscores the critical importance of intellectual property rights for businesses.

"This recent and successive victory of TNC on its trademark battle, not only allows us to move forward with renewed focus but also serves as a powerful example for companies and individuals to stand up for their intellectual property rights.&nbsp;

Importantly, TNC will be able to correct misinformation that has been spreading about the ownership of our trademark and the company for years.&nbsp;

This is very timely as we continue to promote and urge brands and netizens to create more online content that promotes Integrity and Excellence.” Manansala shared in a recent and exclusive sit down upon hearing the news.&nbsp;

Manansala also reminds the public to be vigilant in dealing with people online and to make sure that the information received about TNC is coming from the correct source.&nbsp;

"Intellectual property rights should be used ethically and should not be weaponized to disadvantage another party, especially when that party is the rightful owner of the mark," added the JRSantiago &amp; Associates Law Office, which represented TNC in the case.

The Woman Behind TNC: A Catalyst and Visionary for Change

Apple Esplana-Manansala, President &amp; Chief Executive Producer of The New Channel (TNC) Media Corp. expressed her optimism:&nbsp;

“As we step into 2025, TNC remains dedicated to creating content that promotes the use of Digital only for food and uplifts while showcasing Filipino talent on the world stage. Our roadmap is a testament to our belief in the transformative power of media to drive meaningful change.&nbsp;

We also look forward to the local and international collaborations that we have been harnessing over the years. We are hopeful that there will be more and better online content that we can contribute not just to the Philippine audience but for the rest of the world to enjoy.”

*&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; *&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;*

Star Trek's Enterprise Blonde Ale to be Launched in Las Vegas Aug 2nd until 6th

BURBANK, United States—From princess costumes and cute character sketches to century-old toys, photos and documents, Disney’s backrooms and warehouses are stacked to the rafters with “hundreds of millions” of filmmaking treasures, its archivists say.

In celebration of the company’s upcoming centennial—officially marked on Oct. 16—Disney recently allowed a glimpse into its vaults, hosting a media visit to its film studio lot in Burbank, near Los Angeles.

“This is what we call the tip of the iceberg,” said Walt Disney Archives director Becky Cline, before presenting artifacts ranging from the studio’s founding legal document and the first Mickey Mouse cartoon script to costumes from the latest Marvel films.

Many more items are currently out touring the world, with “Disney100: The Exhibition” on display simultaneously in Munich and Philadelphia. More locations including London will be added soon.

Paris is currently hosting an immersive, multi-sensory experience, centered around the friendships between Disney’s iconic characters.

But a major portion of the studio’s archives is in “five or six” warehouses “scattered around” the Los Angeles area, including larger items such as former theme park ride vehicles and movie props, said archivist Nicole Carroll.

“We make so much stuff, we’re always looking for more space!” she said.

Founded in 1970, the 30-strong team of archivists aim to keep a “small representation” of everything, Carroll explained.

For example, if a recently wrapped movie has 250 lavish costumes, including four or five for each of the heroes, the archive team will select “a couple of iconic looks from each character” for posterity.

Even with this selective approach, every time a film wraps, “we could be adding hundreds of things” to the archive, said Carroll.

Among the studio’s most treasured memorabilia are the giant storybooks featured at the start of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and “Sleeping Beauty,” and a crystal slipper from the live action version of Cinderella.

Some items end up serving a practical purpose—an original snow globe from 1964’s “Mary Poppins” was pulled from the archive and replicated by filmmakers creating the 2018 sequel.

Factor in photo and document archives containing first-edition cartoons, tickets to Disneyland’s 1955 opening, plus corporate reports and press clippings, and the total collection extends to “hundreds of millions” of items, said Cline.

But perhaps the most hallowed space for Disney obsessives is located right on the Burbank lot—founder Walt Disney’s personal offices, from which he managed his entertainment empire from 1940 until his death in 1966.

A painstaking inventory of every item he left behind was taken, right down to the exact resting angle of his books, including volumes on Nikola Tesla, Salvador Dali and trains.

Just under a decade ago, those offices were restored by Walt Disney Archives employees.

They now contain everything from unfinished plans for theme parks to figurines of beloved fairy tale characters.

Just a few tour groups are admitted each year to this space, considered sacred by cognoscenti of a company renowned for the almost unparalleled obsession of its fandom.

“People come in and cry at this amazing human,”&nbsp;said tour guide Laura Sanchez.

More locations including London will be added soon.Paris is currently hosting an immersive, multi-sensory experience, centered around the friendships between Disney’s iconic characters.But a major portion of the studio’s archives is in “five or six” warehouses “scattered around” the Los Angeles area, including larger items such as former theme park ride vehicles and movie props, said archivist Nicole Carroll.“We make so much stuff, we’re always looking for more space!” she said.Founded in 1970, the 30-strong team of archivists aim to keep a “small representation” of everything, Carroll explained.For example, if a recently wrapped movie has 250 lavish costumes, including four or five for each of the heroes, the archive team will select “a couple of iconic looks from each character” for posterity.Even with this selective approach, every time a film wraps, “we could be adding hundreds of things” to the archive, said Carroll.‘Cry’Among the studio’s most treasured memorabilia are the giant storybooks featured at the start of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and “Sleeping Beauty,” and a crystal slipper from the live action version of Cinderella.Some items end up serving a practical purpose—an original snow globe from 1964’s “Mary Poppins” was pulled from the archive and replicated by filmmakers creating the 2018 sequel.Factor in photo and document archives containing first-edition cartoons, tickets to Disneyland’s 1955 opening, plus corporate reports and press clippings, and the total collection extends to “hundreds of millions” of items, said Cline.But perhaps the most hallowed space for Disney obsessives is located right on the Burbank lot—founder Walt Disney’s personal offices, from which he managed his entertainment empire from 1940 until his death in 1966.A painstaking inventory of every item he left behind was taken, right down to the exact resting angle of his books, including volumes on Nikola Tesla, Salvador Dali and trains.Just under a decade ago, those offices were restored by Walt Disney Archives employees.They now contain everything from unfinished plans for theme parks to figurines of beloved fairy tale characters.And, of course, several Oscars.Just a few tour groups are admitted each year to this space, considered sacred by cognoscenti of a company renowned for the almost unparalleled obsession of its fandom.“People come in and cry at this amazing human,”&nbsp;said tour guide Laura Sanchez.“They get to walk in the past.”&nbsp;

THE chief of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), Atty. Ella Blanca Lopez, lauded Aliw Broadcasting Corporation for its unwavering commitment to providing Filipinos with exceptional news and entertainment, as she graced the official launch of Aliw Channel 23 on Friday.

Atty. Lopez delivered a compelling keynote address, extending her congratulations to Aliw Broadcasting Corporation on this significant milestone.

During her speech, Lopez recognized Aliw Channel 23’s alignment with the government’s principles and values, particularly in light of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s recent statement on combating fake news and promoting access to reliable information. She emphasized the importance of crafting and broadcasting content that upholds truth and trust.

“Earlier this week, during the International Conference of Information Commissioners (ICIC), our dear president, His Excellency Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., was quoted as saying ‘fake news has noplace in Philippine Society.’ He asserted that the country should continue advancing the people’s right to access information. I believe that Aliw Channel 23 will share the same principle and trust as the government, as it begins to craft and air its content,” Lopez affirmed.

Recognizing the significance of television as a medium of communication, the NTC chief referenced data from Kantar, which revealed that a significant portion of the Filipino population still watch television. With 21.7 million households and 92.9 million individualsengaged in television viewing, there is tremendous potential for growth in the industry, she said. Lopez encouraged Aliw Channel 23 to create compelling content that captivates viewers’ attention.

“As Aliw embarks on this new journey, rest assured that NTC will be supportive of your endeavors,” she said. Assuring Aliw Broadcasting Corporation of the NTC’s unwavering support, Lopez emphasized that the grant of authority to install, operate, and maintain digital TV broadcasting using Channel 23 was based on a thorough evaluation of the institution’s qualifications.

This much, we owe to the Filipino people,” she stressed. “Not to worry, though, as I have trust and confidence in Aliw, as credible and responsible broadcast comes hand to hand in established institutions like yours. Just continue to do what you do best,” she added.

Aliw Broadcasting Corporation conveyed its gratitude and appreciation to Commissioner Lopez and NTC for their warm support. The company promised to deliver truthful and informative news that will benefit the country.

The leading video streaming platform in Indonesia, Vidio, offers its 60 million monthly active viewers a collection of premium content anytime and anywhere, from sports live streaming to national and international TV, Vidio Original Series, Korean Drama, Anime, Asian, Kids, Bollywood, and Hollywood Blockbusters. Vidio is known as the “Home of Sports” in Indonesia as it is appointed as an official broadcaster of top premium global sports such as FIFA WorldCup, Premier League, NBA, and UEFA Champions League; and also well recognized as the “Home of Local Content” as it airs exclusively the local major sports league and the most aggressive OTT releasing local original series in the country.

In the modern era, where customers are overloaded with information and dwindling attention spans, a platform like Vidio must engage customers rhythmically and contextually, using relevant communication across their preferred channels. One of the key challenges for an OTT service provider is building contextual communication and reaching customers across every single touchpoint in their lifecycle journey.

This translates into engaging customers by providing personalized recommendations suited to their likes and preferences across the channels they are most active on. To do that, brands must first develop a deeper customer understanding, and that is precisely where Vidio aims to leverage MoEngage’s insights-led platform.

'Understanding our customers’ content preferences are our utmost priority, and I’m fully convinced that MoEngage will help us deepen customer understanding, in turn helping us engage them on a higher level, through rich, personalized experiences across preferred communication channels’, said Hadikusuma Wahab, Chief Product Officer, Vidio.
