The 2007 Southeast Asian Games, officially known as the 24th Southeast Asian Games, was a Southeast Asian multi-sport event held in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), Thailand, from 6 to 15 December 2007, featuring 475 events across 43 sports and disciplines.
At this time, to prepare the coverage, ABS-CBN executives, led by chairman, president, and CEO Eugenio Lopez III, said that the broadcast rights for the regional multi-sport event were to be held in the same city and country. This company, along with the Philippine Sports Commission and Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation, signed an agreement to air this event on February 24, 2006, three months after the Philippines hosted the 23rd Southeast Asian Games.
Thus, the ABS-CBN corporation through its sports division ABS-CBN Sports, its TV channels ABS-CBN and UHF network Studio 23, cable channels Balls, ANC and DZMM TeleRadyo and AM radio station DZMM, along with government station PTV-4 and rival ABC-5, and radio stations DZMM Radyo Patrol 630, DZRH, DZSR Sports Radio 918, 92.3 XFM and 106.7 Dream FM to cover the 2007 edition of Southeast Asian Games in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), Thailand live nationwide and worldwide on all platforms - TV, Radio, Internet via Facebook and Youtube on PC, smartphones, and tablets.
This coverage was powered by the Philippine Sports Commission and UCare, co-presented by the Department of Tourism, Alaxan FR, and Petron, and in part by Pride Detergent, Unique Toothpaste, Shield Bath Soap, Meralco, Jollibee, Hapee, Capsulac, Accel, MC Billboards, Tanduay, Nestle Milo, PLDT, Globe, TM, Eyeberry, Dunkin Donuts, Cherry Mobile, Fukuda, My Juiz, AICS, Manila Bulletin, 2GO, GES, Steeltech Colored Roofing, and M Lhuillier Financial Services, Inc.
Rival network GMA has its banners and pins for the event.
Besides kart racer Guidicelli, Sy, Bumgarner, and race car driver Pastor is Cebu basketball player and businessman Jeremy Ryan Huang was joined by CGA&P (Sen. Cayetano, Go, Abrera and Protacio) in Manila on December 9, 2007, at Spiral Restaurant of the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila in Pasay City.
Radio announcer Dennis Antenor, Jr. (formerly known as Dennis Guisado of YES! FM 101.1) was at the DZRH studio, while dozens of amusement-park goers outside of Star City - Amusement Park and PICC were participating in the "Occupy" protests, as well as the Anti-government protesters' clash with police at Roxas Boulevard.
While Guidicelli, Sy, Bumgarmer, Pastor, and Huang are in Manila with CGA&P, Diaz, Joven dela Merced, Magsaysay, San Diego, and Tayao-Cabrera are none other than Enchong Dee and Ken Uy, who participated in the 2007 Southeast Asian Games swimming competitions in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. Uy was in lane 4 of the men's 100-meter freestyle finals at past 7 p.m. on December 8, and Dee was in lane 8 of the men's 100-meter butterfly finals at past 7:29 p.m. on the same day.
It can be recalled that only several GMA-7 programs reached the top spots in the primetime rating charts in the Rainbow Network's history in 2004: these were Imbestigador and StarStruck. It was two years since GMA-7 launched an offensive to snatch away the overall No. 1 Philippine TV network spot from ABS-CBN (still called the Star Network), but it currently has only 2 shows in the top 10 primetime slots. ABS-CBN is still clinging on to a vast Metro Manila audience share of 40-50% (in contrast to GMA-7’s Metro Manila audience share of 20-35%), and a massive regional share of 70-90%. It’s a stark contrast with what happened to ABS-CBN after EDSA Uno, where it took less than 2 years to go back to the overall No. 1 spot for the Philippines’ most-watched TV network (having its 10 shows in the top 10 primetime slots), which it had since 1953-1972 and 1986-2004. And ABS-CBN still has the strong trust of the majority of advertisers, being the No. 1 network for the whole of 2003.
Claims are virtually ridiculous, malicious, and baseless about ABS-CBN conniving with 2 of the world’s most trusted TV rating groups–AGB and AC Nielsen — and about the moving of channels of both ABS-CBN and GMA-7 by some cable operators, who were falsely accused of conniving with ABS-CBN execs, as various reports by the Philippine Star declared so.
While GMA-7 has had its Kapuso campaign since October 27, 2002, ABS-CBN still has the Kapamilya campaign, which has been with the network since January 1, 2000. The Kapamilya campaign of ABS-CBN was first done in conjunction with ABS-CBN’s two grand events: the network’s Philippine Independence Centennial party at Expo Filipino in June 1998, and the nationwide and worldwide multimedia year-end broadcast “The ABS-CBN Worldwide Celebration of the New Millennium” from December 31, 1999, to January 1, 2000.
