Two major networks in the country are joining forces as ABS-CBN Corporation and TV5 Network, Inc. announced a PHP 2.16 billion investment agreement.
Following this, MediaQuest group's equity in TV5 will be reduced to 64.79%, but it will remain as the controlling shareholder. As for ABC-CBN Chairman Mark Lopez, it presents a fantastic platform for us to achieve synergies in production content and talent management as well as maximizing our content delivery.
