Well, network war pala dito, akala ko all about Mariel lang. Just some random information lang na alam ko about the two networks.
GMA: Hindi sila member ng KBP. They are proud non-members of it. Mapapansin niyo yan sa AM, FM, at TV stations na hawak nila. May ruling kasi ang KBP sa TV na limited ang commercials, but I forgot the limit. Pero for 1hr programs, 15mins ata yung max commercial. Tapos 9 different ads lang? I totally forgot. Basta, pansinin niyo sa GMA, masyadong mahahaba yung shows nila, stuffed with commercials. Nung last nuod ko ng Marimar, halos isang oras yun. Nagtataka na nga kami kung bakit ang tagal eh. So, there is no one governing their broadcast rights except for NTC. Eh ang NTC naman, hanggang hindi ka nagrereklamo, hindi sila kakagat. More commercials = more money. More money to buy copyrights. Kaya laging revival yung shows nila, kasi they know how to abuse people's nostalgia.
ABS-CBN: Merged na alto broadcasting system - chronicle broadcasting network. Member sila ng KBP, however, ang may ari ng Home Cable, Sky Cable, at Meralco (all those things na vital sa ating panunuod ng idiot box) ay Lopez's pa rin. Kaya pag nanunuod ka ng 24 Oras or any other important show, may makikita ka na scrolling msg na similar to this: "If you are experiencing problems, please contact Sky Cable at 000-0000", kasi sinasabotahe talaga sila. Pag may magandang coverage ang GMA, magugulat ka na lang, brownout na mamaya, o kaya nawalan ka ng cable. Sabi nga samin ni Mike Enriquez during a talk, he refers to ABS-CBN as the "evil network".
Pero wag ka, may friendship rin tong dalawang station na to. They share program ideas, kaya minsan, mapapansin niyo na may bagong show ang GMA, then after a week or so, may similar program na ganun sa ABS-CBN. So, ayun, share ko lang.
Mariel is hot, pero dapat hindi na lang siya nagsasalita masyado. Haha!
