Background

Start of GMA Pinoy TV (2004-2005)

GMA Pinoy TV was first launched in Japan in March 2005. It was later launched in several parts of the United States in the same year, such as San Francisco, Los Angeles and the states of the East Coast. The official GMA Pinoy TV launch in America happened in San Francisco on July 23, 2005 and was aired on SOP the following Sunday, July 31, 2005. The event was attended by thousands of Filipinos eager to see once again the stars of GMA for whom they have not seen for so long. The channel later spread out in the entire country of the US by August 2005. Since then GMA Pinoy TV started to reach out to farther countries globally.

2006

A concert was held with GMA stars to promote GMA Pinoy TV. Graphics, on the other hand, were released with the so-called Filipino colors—red, blue and yellow. It was also seen around December that GMA Pinoy TV, every Christmas season, will change its graphic on-screen for the Christmas season. The logo also was seen in the upper right and left corners at varied times. It was settled in 2007 that the logo will be seen in the upper right corner.

2007-2009

2007- GMA Pinoy TV had a huge success and was known better for the program MariMar. So, due to the success of the program, GMA Pinoy TV once changed graphics. They ran from 2007-October 2010.

2008- GMA Pinoy TV was also known for the program Dyesebel. GMA Pinoy TV, due to the success of the program, had launched a billboard in Daly City, which was there for the entirety of the show. Its purpose was to promote the program and GMA Pinoy TV in general.

2009- GMA Pinoy TV has 225,000 subscribers as of September 2009. An associated second channel, GMA Life TV, was successfully launched in March 2008, it already counts 109,000 subscribers. The percent of subscribers has gone up 34% according to GMA New Media, Inc.

2010

An amount of PhP 253 million for the 1st Quarter of 2010's revenues (compared to PhP 183 million of 2009) has been posted in the Annual Stockholders Meeting of GMA Network for GMA Pinoy TV and GMA Life TV.

In May 2010, GMA Pinoy TV and GMA Network, Inc. in general, was acclaimed for their performance of covering the Elections. GMA Pinoy TV started airing the live coverage May 9 until the Election ended.

GMA Pinoy TV has had some delays in its shows, specifically the dramas being aired worldwide. Before, in its early years, some dramas were delayed up to a month but as time passed, it receded and as of 2011, the ratio is early primetime & primetime dramas in the Philippines are two-days delayed and afternoon dramas are three-days delayed. The week of August 2-August 7, 2010, GMA Pinoy TV ran a "back-to-back episodes" block for the afternoon drama then Trudis Liit, starring Jillian Ward. The show was nine-days delayed so GMA International decided to lessen the delay and have a standard mentioned above, as of 2011.[1]

In September 2010, GMA Pinoy TV has a total of 256,000 subscribers while its sister channel, GMA Life TV has 122,000 subscibers. This is based on a report that the Corporate Communications Department of GMA Network has posted.[2]

On October 10, 2010, GMA Pinoy TV changed graphics with a theme that recognizes and is towards Pinoys all over the world. It also has a globe symbolizing how far GMA Pinoy TV has gone since the start.

On November 30, 2010, GMA Pinoy TV changed its graphics once again for the Christmas 2010 Season.

As of December 2010, GMA Pinoy TV as well as GMA Life TV has expanded into the following: US- Chicago, Illinois (via Comcast Chicago), New York (via Time Warner New York), Washington, DC, Maryland, Alabama, Virginia (via Comcast); Canada- Vancouver, British Columbia (via Telus Canada) and Europe: Italy, London, rest of UK, and rest of Europe (via Infinity IPTV).[3][4][5][6]

Also, for Christmas 2010, this is the first time that GMA Pinoy TV had another Christmas slogan besides the GMA Network Christmas 2010 Slogan: Isang Pagkilala sa Puso ng Pilipino Ngayong Pasko. The GMA Pinoy TV Christmas slogan is Isang Maligayang at Masaganang Paskong Pinoy, Kapuso!.

As for the 3rd Quarter of 2010, GMA Pinoy TV has around 261,000 subscribers posted.[7]

2011

In the first quarter of 2011, GMA Pinoy TV and its home network in the Philippines revealed a new logo with minor changes. The "GMA" letters part is seen to be more embossed and the logo has a "glow" effect.

On February 28, 2011 for the first time in GMA Worldwide, Inc. history, two programs that started airing on GMA Pinoy TV that is still running with new episodes was switched over to GMA Life TV, where it will then air its new episodes, to occupy free time slots. This then led to replays of other Kapuso shows. The shows included Pinoy MD and Love ni Mister, Love ni Misis. All this will be straightened out once GMA News TV starts its international operations sometime 2nd to 3rd Quarter of 2011.

In a report published showing GMA Network's revenues for 2010 with a total of PhP 14.299 Billion, GMA Life TV has 125,000 subscribers (an estimated 800,000 viewers count) while GMA Pinoy TV has an accounted 274,000 subscribers (around 1.8 Million viewers).[8][9]

On April 5, 2011, though already launched in the Philippines on March 27, 2011 and was launched a bit late, GMA Pinoy TV launched the 2011 Summer slogan of GMA "Halo-Halo Ang Summer Saya". This took some time to launch on GMA Pinoy TV because significant edits were made in which some of the programs on the original version are not slated to air on GMA Pinoy TV like Man vs. Beast but beside that, the international version of the station ID still included planned shows of Summer 2011.

Also in April 2011, GMA Pinoy TV is now being broadcast by COX Communications in Arizona, areas like Tucson and Arizona, on Channel 482.[11]

In a report, dated May 16, 2011, regarding the consolidated gross revenues of GMA Network, Inc. in the 1st quarter of 2011, it is noted that GMA Pinoy TV's subscriptions grew by 10 percent (approximately 300,000 subscribers but not greater than) and GMA Life TV's subscriptions grew by 2 percent (approximately 128,000 but not greater than), respectively. This consisted of PhP 230 million worth of advertising and subscription revenues.[12]

And in May/June 2011, GMA Pinoy TV/GMA Life TV sent many of its artists to various places worldwide, it's the first time that Kapuso artists were sent almost consecutively, to celebrate Philippine Independence Day/Filipino Culture Fiestas and to promote GMA Pinoy TV/GMA Life TV and its shows. They consisted of Iza Calzado & Dennis Trillo who went to Hawaii on May 7, 2011, then on May 28, 2011, Jolina Magdangal and JayR visited National City in San Diego, CA. On the 113th Philippine Independence Day proper, Dennis Trillo & Iza Calzado were sent this time to Hong Kong to represent GMA Pinoy TV and perform there and in Singapore, Dingdong Dantes and Rachel Ann Go were present. And on June 25, 2011, Carla Abellana, JayR and Frencheska Farr along with Arnel Ignacio are heading off to Toronto, Canada to be a part of the Pinoy Fiesta Trade Show there. A day after, June 26, 2011, Aljur Abrenica, Jennylyn Mercado, Iza Calzado and Mark Bautista will be sent to be part of Philippine-American Friendship Day in Jersey City, New Jersey.[13][14][15]

In another recent report with regards to GMA Network's consolidated revenues in the 2nd quarter of 2011, GMA Pinoy TV's subscribers grew to 279,000 from 274,000 (actual count) and an estimated amount of 1.85 million viewers and GMA Life TV's subscribers grew as well, an estimated 1 million viewers. Also, GMA Network recently launched GMA News TV in the past month and will be made available to all areas where GMA Pinoy TV and GMA Life TV reaches by 3rd Quarter of 2011. GMA Pinoy TV and GMA Life TV were further made to subscribers in key Filipino-American areas in the US, namely New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC. They were also launched in many parts of Detroit, Hawaii and upstate New York and New England. The channels were also launched by additional carriers in Australia and Papua New Guinea.[16]

From September 1 onwards, the upper right corner logo has since been there meaning from then on, it will not disappear anymore during commercial breaks, it will stay and rarely since September 1 since the logo has disappeared.

On November 4, 2011, GMA Pinoy TV launched GMA's 2011 Christmas Station ID in several parts with each cast of most Kapuso shows and it was usually during the show and one right after the show ended.

On November 24, 2011, Thanksgiving Day in the US, GMA Pinoy TV launched the Christmas-themed graphics for 2011, which also included the upper-right logo being converted to a Christmas-themed one. This was also the same date that GMA Network revamped its websites, with new features and a new look.

2012

My Beloved is the first Primetime TV Drama series of GMA Network to premiere just a day after its original premiere on GMA Pinoy TV, February 14, 2012. Within the seven years of GMA Pinoy TV, this is the first to do so.

In a press statement released by GMA Network, Inc., it is stated that GMA Pinoy TV, as of 1st Quarter of 2012, has approximately 303,000 subscribers, which amounts to nearly 2 million viewers.[20][21][22]

On May 18, 2012, GMA Pinoy TV released on-air alternate versions of its "Up Next" and "You're Watching" bumpers; they were much shorter and instead of clips of the shows, they featured the stars of the respective shows.

On June 5, 2012, GMA Pinoy TV began experiencing audio issues with its broadcast, audio that is not so typical of High-Definition, High-Resolution cameras tha GMA uses. On June 21, 2012, the issue was resolved and the original audio type was restored.

This is the first time the network has placed 24 Oras right after Unang Hirit, which also changed timeslots to give way for 24 Oras.

Manny Many Prizes in celebration of GMA Pinoy TV's 7th Year Anniversary held a special event at Universal Studios Hollywood on September 16. The live show featured the show's cast plus Dingdong Dantes, Solenn Heussaff, Julie Anne San Jose, Elmo Magalona and Rochelle Pangilinan.

As of October 30, 2012, four drama series have premiered that are one-day delayed: My Beloved, One True Love, Coffee Prince, and Temptation of Wife. This is part of GMA Pinoy TV's promise to its viewers to lessen airing delays and more original programming being shown.

On November 30, 2012, GMA Pinoy TV updated its upper-right corner logo once more to a Christmas-themed one and one that celebrates GMA Pinoy TV's 7th anniversary and the version of the letters "GMA" are the more current one used by GMA.

2013

Indio became the fifth TV Drama series of GMA Network to premiere just a day after its original premiere on GMA Pinoy TV and the show began airing on January 15, 2013. This makes all the current and future Primetime dramas of GMA to air on a one-day episode delay basis, compared to previously where it started first as long as three-weeks delay to as short as two-days delay.

Mundo Mo'y Akin became the sixth TV Drama series of GMA Network to premiere just a day after its original premiere on GMA Pinoy TV and the show began airing on March 19, 2013.

For the first time on GMA Pinoy TV, copyrighted material created and produced by another company, National Geographic Channel, was aired on GMA Pinoy TV on April 7, 2013. The copyrighted material aired under license is the National Geographic Channel Documentary entitled "Inside Malacanang Palace", which aired last March 2012, is an special documentary that takes the audience to an exclusive guided tour of the Malacanang Palace of the Philippines. Such airing has never occurred in GMA history, which is the very reason why shows like Kap's Amazing Stories, Takeshi's Castle, Watta Job, Man V. Beast, etc. have not been aired on GMA Pinoy TV over recent years.

In Q1 of 2013, GMA Pinoy TV has a total of 333,000 subscribers while its sister channel, GMA Life TV has 125,000 subscribers. This is based on a report that the Corporate Communications Department of GMA Network has posted. Overall, in 2012 and Q1 of 2013, subscription to GMA International channels increased by 7 percent.[23]

In June 2013, SingTel relaunched this channel together with GMA Life TV and in the new Fiesta Pack as well after 2 months of hiatus of this channel.

Anna Karenina became the seventh Primetime TV Drama series of GMA Network to premiere just a day after its original premiere on GMA Pinoy TV, with its airing beginning on June 4, 2013.

My Husband's Lover became the eighth Primetime TV Drama series of GMA Network to premiere just a day after its original premiere on GMA Pinoy TV, with its airing beginning on June 11, 2013.

On August 27, 2013, Pyra: Ang Babaeng Apoy started airing and was the first GMA Afternoon Prime drama series to be on only a one-episode delay basis, as for previous years, GMA Afternoon Prime dramas have been noted to be two to even four episodes delayed.

On September 10, 2013, Akin Pa Rin ang Bukas became the ninth Primetime TV Drama series of GMA Network to premiere just a day after its original premiere on GMA Pinoy TV, with its airing beginning on September 10, 2013.

On September 17, 2013, GMA Pinoy TV had experienced technical problems and thus a three-hour delay was caused in its programming schedule, which received negative feedback from the viewers as they were not warned beforehand. The management had appealed to the viewers by saying that such was not intentional and was accidental because of technical/conversion issues. The following day, September 18, 2013, the programming staff of GMA Pinoy TV was prompted to change the programming schedule, effectively removing the airings of Eat Bulaga and 24 Oras just a few hours after its original broadcast. Viewers are still hoping for the programming of GMA Pinoy TV to revert to its original state, which most viewers preferred.

On September 29, 2013, a fire hit the basement of GMA Network's Building. The fire was put out in less than 50 minutes as the fire correspondents responded immediately. The fire affected the power supply of GMA Network and thus further affected the normal operations of GMA Network, including the operations of GMA Pinoy TV as well as GMA Life TV and GMA News TV International.[24][25] During the fire, temporary programming was aired consisting of replays of shows from the weekend. The fire had caused disappointment and inconvenience on the part of the viewers/subscribers. However, the management of GMA International assured its subscribers that indeed the appropriate measures are being taken and that normal operations are hoped to be restored at the soonest possible time.

On October 1, 2013, programming had slowly been restored. Subscribers reported Unang Hirit, 24 Oras, The Ryzza Mae Show and Eat Bulaga among others to be updated and though slightly off their appropriate timeslot, still was managed to be aired over on GMA Pinoy TV. Also, My Husband's Lover aired back-to-back episodes and thus only on October 1 did it become the first TV series of GMA Drama to air the same episode that aired in the Philippines on the same day that it aired on GMA Pinoy TV. Akin Pa Rin ang Bukas and Kahit Nasaan Ka Man followed and also had back-to-back episodes aired; these "back-to-back" episode appeared to the viewers as hints that the Primetime Dramas will begin to air on same-day episode basis. However, this idea was dismissed on October 2, 2013 when these shows had reaired the "catched up" episodes and thus, the Primetime Dramas were confirmed to be on a one-episode delay basis again. The network's afternoon dramas, Prinsesa ng Buhay Ko, Magkano Ba ang Pag-ibig? and Pyra: Ang Babaeng Apoy, are still airing on a one-episode delay basis and were not affected by the "catching up" that happened on October 1. The only afternoon drama left airing on a two-episode delay basis is Mga Basang Sisiw.

On October 5, 2013, GMA Pinoy TV updated its on-air title screen, in celebration of its 8 Years of Bringing Global Pinoys Closer to Home.

On November 30, 2013, GMA Pinoy TV updated its upper-right logo to a Christmas-themed one, alongside GMA's Christmas Theme for 2013, "Sundan Natin ang Bituin Pabalik sa Kanyang Piling". The following day, December 1, 2013, the on-air title screen and graphics were updated.

On December 17, 2013, The Ryzza Mae Show and Eat Bulaga were restored to their late night timeslots in the North American feed. It was noted that subscribers continually pleaded GMA Pinoy TV to restore these shows to their late night timeslots as this is convenient for many working subscribers who are only able to watch at that time. After three months and a day of requests, the management finally granted such and the shows were restored to their respective and consecutive late night timeslots. In addition to their restored timeslots, the two shows air as well right after their restored timeslots and so, overall, The Ryzza Mae Show and Eat Bulaga air four times on GMA Pinoy TV daily.

The New Year Countdown aired on a three-hour delay basis on GMA Pinoy TV on December 31, 2013.

2014

From December 31, 2013 to January 13, 2014, GMA Pinoy TV had a special airing of Titser. This was in the timeslot previously occupied by Genesis and Akin Pa Rin Ang Bukas, as in the Philippines the timeslots of the two shows were replaced by Hollywood blockbusters.

The GMA Pinoy TV on-screen graphics and logo returned to its regular version on January 5, 2014, marking the end of the Christmas season.

GMA Pinoy TV began inserting English subtitles in certain shows like Wish Ko Lang and Pepito Manaloto: Ang Tunay na Kuwento on Saturday, January 11, 2014. This is part of GMA Pinoy TV's efforts to expand its audience reach so that not only those who can speak and understand Tagalog can watch GMA Pinoy TV but also those who cannot.
