In an inteview with Rappler on Saturday, November 10, Cherry Bayle, operations manager of Nation Broadcasting Corporation, said Pangilinan continues to give his full support to the Kapatid network TV5, as well as the new FM station of NBC, True FM 105.9.

The radio shows are uploaded as podcasts, such as Banaag’s advice show, “Dr. Love,” and Lourd de Veyra’s “Sana Lourd.” Bayle said NBC was able to improve the ratings of 92.3 FM from being the number 20 radio station four years ago to one of the top 5 radio stations in the Philippines before the sale to the Romualdez media group.
