RUFFA FIGHTS BACK! DARES SHAINA TO PROVE HER ACCUSATIONS!

Inakala ng marami na may bagong sasabihin si Ruffa Gutierrez tungkol sa maintrigang usapin sa kanilang tatlo nina John Lloyd Cruz at Shaina Magdayao sa opening ng Sunday showbiz talk show ng TV5 na Paparazzi Showbiz Exposed kahapon, October 30.

Pero tila nagpipigil nga siyang magsalita pa kahit may sunod na mga tanong sa kanya ang mga co-host niyang sina Cristy Fermin, Mo Twister, Dolly Ann Carvajal, at Zoren Legaspi.

SHAINA MAGDAYAO: HINDI AKO NAIINGIT KAY RUFFA!

"Yes" ang naging tugon ni Shaina sa tanong ni Boy kung alam niya na nasa party ni Bea si Ruffa at kung nakita niya ito.

Naging honest din si Shaina na sumagot sa tanong if there was tension between them.

"Honestly, yes," sabi niya.

"Kasi, para bang, 'Eto na naman. Naku, after ng gabing ito, meron na namang lalabas.'"

IGLOT BIDS GOODBYE FOR SURVIVOR PHILS!

GMA's prime time series, IGLOT, starring the well renowned actress Ms. Claudine Barreto, will finally bid goodbye in mid-November 2011 to give way for the debut of Survivor Phils which will be hosted by Richard Guttierez! Iglot currently ranks to be the weakest kapuso program in prime time lagging behind both in TV Ratings and total Ad minutes. It consistently gained poor support from the advertisers despite its well funded cast composed of former kapamilyas Claudine Barreto, Jolina Magdangala and Marvin Agustin.  

Time of My Life will also bid farewell as reality programs Survivor and Protege invade the kapuso network's line of primetime programs  in the last quarter. Like Iglot, Time of My Life is a weakling both in the ratings game and in total ad minutes, although its competing program in ABS-CBN experienced the same fate.

ATTY. GOZON: GMA-7 BEATS ABS-CBN IN RATINGS & AD REVENUES!

In an interview with Inquirer GMA Network big boss, Atty. Felipe Gozon claimed to have overtake ABS-CBN Corp. in total airtime revenues in (early) third quarter as strong ad loads in their daytime line-up continue to drive the over-all revenue growth. In a write-up by Paolo Montecillo, Atty. Gozon indicated that the company (GMA NETWORK) is now ahead of ABS-CBN in “air time” or advertising revenue, claiming that, for the first time in history, the network has cornered a larger share of the advertising market over rival ABS-CBN Corp. But load minutes for either networks, or the amount of time dedicated to TV commercials, “are just about even.”

ATTY. GOZON ADMITS GMA IS WORRIED WITH MORE CHANNELS IN THE DIGITAL SHIFT!

The question amidst the existing global paradigms and local realities is, “Is GMA ready for the digital future?”

The answer is YES. But, of course, the reality comes with challenges that we in the media business need to address and overcome. Among them is the proliferation of choices. How do you dominate when the array of offerings for the audience is practically limitless?

Getting paid for what we provide is another grey area, as of now. Definitely, new business models should and will be developed. The problem with delivering content through multi-platforms is how we can monetize such activities....

SANIB PWERSA ITATAPAT NG SIETE KAY VICE GANDA!

After weeks of weak revenues from scarce product placements in the Sunday Late  Prime time block, GMA will once again attempt to break ABS-CBN's winning streak by betting on a News and Current events program with veteran news anchors Mel Tianco and Arnold Clavio.
