ABS-CBN Corp. continues to strengthen its online presence to meet the increasing demand for content through digital channel YouTube.
The company has reached 50 million subscribers on YouTube and remains the most subscribed YouTube channel in the media and entertainment category in Southeast Asia.
“Since ABS-CBN’s shift to digital, our viewers have embraced YouTube as a go-to source of ABS-CBN content. We will continue to meet the increasing demand for content online through our offerings on YouTube as we make these accessible to more Kapamilyas in different parts of the world,” said Jamie Lopez, head of ABS-CBN Digital, in a statement.
ABS-CBN went full blast on digital since 2020 by offering for free its currently airing programs on YouTube.
YouTube users can look forward to the new original series “Halfmates,” streaming this October 18 and starring Kaori Oinuma and Jeremiah Lisbo, and “Four Bad Boys and Me,” ABS-CBN’s first digital movie for YouTube that is slated for release next year.
Viewers should also watch out for more ABS-CBN Studios content that will be available exclusively on YouTube soon.
ABS-CBN said it also constantly innovates its YouTube viewing experience through Kapamilya Online Live, which offers 24/7 livestreaming and up to 21 days of on-demand viewing of the latest episodes of current ABS-CBN programs and classic shows.
Kapamilya Online Live is available anytime, anywhere and streams simultaneously for audiences in Asia, Australia, Europe and New Zealand to allow Kapamilyas abroad to tune in to their favorite shows at the same time with their loved ones at home.
As more viewers consume content online, Kapamilya Online Live has also seen an increase in viewership outside of the Philippines, particularly in Japan, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Italy and the United Kingdom, ABS-CBN said.
