IBC 13 Logo 2023

IBC 13, or the Kaibigan Network, is a third leading broadcast network in the Philippines, one of the three networks owned by the Philippine government and the flagship TV station of media giant Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation, one of the three biggest media conglomerate in the Philippines, the third–oldest television network in the country, and currently is the third largest television network. A company engaged in television and radio broadcasting, and content production for local and international audiences, and other related businesses.

IBC 13 is a commercial TV station that airs on very high frequency (VHF). It is a government–owned–and–controlled corporation currently providing privatization–revitalization and is one of the too three TV stations in the country in terms of ratings and coverage reach. It competes in a tight contest with GMA and PTV based on reach, audience share, and advertising revenue.

IBC 13 reaches an estimated 98 percent of all households with television sets in the Philippines, based on the latest data released by the station. Its programming may also be viewed outside the country "to over 2.5 million viewers in North America, the Middle East, Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada, and other countries in Asia."

Nielsen’s National Urban TV Audience Measurement, which measures TV viewership of key cities in the country, pegs the station’s audience share at 33.15 percent from January to August 2016, making it the country's third largest TV station based on audience share.

Kaibigan Mo, the station tagline of IBC's trust of raising the bar of innovative and creative programming as the gold standard in Philippine television. IBC 13, like frontrunners GMA 7 and PTV 4, shows diverse programs from drama series, sitcoms, musical variety shows, infotainment, entertainment, and news and current affairs. It also shows the Filipinos' favorite sports to watch: live games of the Philippine Basketball Association and the National Basketball Association, two of the professional basketball leagues.

Various religious denominations air their programs on IBC. These are the Catholic church's Feast TV. IBC also airs ad plugs of 89 DMZ, the nation's #1 dance music station.

IBC's programming may also be seen in its international channels Global IBC and IBC News Network International which are available via cable, direct–to–home, and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV). IBC also operates the AM radio station DZTV Radyo Budyong 1386, the radio brand for news, commentary, music and public service, and the FM radio station 89 DMZ, the nation's #1 dance music station.

The RMN tied up with the Soriano group of companies that had acquired ownership of the Inter Island Broadcasting Company (IBC). This paved the way for the establishment of the first television station in Cagayan de Oro in the 60’s—IBC 13.

An American Dick Baldwin founded the station in 1959 as Inter–Island Broadcasting Corporation owned by then owner of San Miguel Corporation Andres Soriano Sr.. Former president Ferdinand E. Marcos' known crony, Roberto Benedicto, later on acquired the station in 1975.

After the 1986 People Power Revolution, the Philippine government through the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG), sequestered the station as part of the recovery of the Marcoses' ill–gotten wealth.

Though the Philippine government still owns IBC, the channel is run more like a private corporation; it generates the financial support from the government and relies on revenue for its operations.

In 2010, the network entered into a P780 million joint venture agreement with Prime Realty, associated with the R–II Builders Group of Reghis Romero Jr. for the development of Broadcast City, the complex where RPN and IBC are located in Quezon City, into a real estate project.

In 2012, IBC gained popularity as "The Kapinoy Network" and later rebranded in 2018 as "The Kaibigan Network" which appeals to the Filipino viewing public in terms of transforming a broadcasting company with outdated and dilapidated structures and equipment into a modern and competitive one that will dominate the industry's giants and turning the network into a major player in the broadcasting and entertainment industry and combined a stronger news and current affairs, provides high quality entertainment and serves as the dominance of revolutionizing the broadcast industry leaders. Some fans and people are called "Kaibigan" when they watch IBC shows.

In 2014 at present, IBC started hosting its annual television awards via Kaibigan Viewers Choice Awards, which brought honors the year's brightest and hottest television programs of IBC voted by Kaibigan viewers through text and online voting, plus daily and grand raffle prizes and big prizes such as Daily On–Air Prizes which acclaimed after 7 days and Grand Prizes unclaimed after 15 days become forfeit which held during the annual television awards. In the same year, the network also launches The Grand IBC Kaibigan Mulyung–Mulyong Pasasalamat Raffle Papremyo, the first, biggest, longest and most dynamic nationwide promo contest by the media network. Since its inception in 1996, the company made a phenomenal leap to the number three position, the position it has maintained up to the present.

A number of senators have questioned the deal for being advantageous to the government.

The channel's privatization will be done through public bidding. The estimated floor price for bids is P1.977 billion.

The Duterte administration in a recent statement said that they are planning to improve the station for P10 billion.

About IBC[]

On December 29, 2018, IBC Chairman Jose Avellana and President and CEO Kat de Castro (born in October 18) announced the revamp of IBC 13 with the launch of retaining a campaign branding itself as the "Kaibigan" Network to dominate the network's programming to focus on entertainment, news and current affairs, cultural, lifestyle and sports (especially the live coverage of the Philippine Basketball Association as IBC 13's biggest asset).

IBC, the Kaibigan Network, is poised to strategically gain for itself a leading role in the Philippine broadcasting industry with its inherent strength in cutting edge technology such as the digital convergence of all multimedia platforms that will enable it to serve for all Filipinos, wherever they may be in the world, with quality entertainment, trusted news and current affairs, educational, cultural, lifestyle and sports programs.
