Aside from radio and television, ABS-CBN has also become the leader in the local music, film, cable TV, and publishing industries and is also the pioneer of digital television in the country.

In July this year, ABS-CBN TVplus sales rose to 8 million boxes from its launch in 2015. It continues to give Filipinos a premium TV watching experience by adding 5 new channels to its current line-up, namely the Asianovela Channel, Movie Central, MYX, Jeepney TV, and O Shopping in Metro Manila, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, and Metro Cebu.

In June, the company launched the mobile version of ABS-CBN TVplus in the form of a dongle, the ABS-CBN TVplus Go, giving mobile Filipinos the chance to watch shows available on networks broadcasting in digital anytime, anywhere. The mobile device was rolled out nationwide in the last week of August.

It launched its new streaming service, iWant, which became the most in-demand app for Filipino iOS and Android users as it reached more than one million mobile app downloads on the first day of its official drop (November 17, 2018), as users scrambled to experience the platform’s original films and series, and its diverse library of content.

ABS-CBN, home to the Philippines’ top-rating TV programs, box-office films, and best-selling books and music, is rapidly transitioning into an agile digital company with the biggest online presence among all Filipino media companies, and a growing list of digital properties.
