TV5 owner buys 30% of Unitel Group as part of expansion move


Mediaquest Holdings Inc., the owner of TV5, acquired 30 percent of a production company controlled by businessman Tony Gloria in a bid to expand its operations in the entertainment industry.

Mediaquest said in a statement that it made an investment in the Unitel Group, which includes Unitel Productions, Straight Shooters and a new technology group to be formed, and planned to infuse more capital to create “visually exciting images.”

“Unitel’s production experience in both television commercials and content work, plus its leadership in moving images production, strongly complements our growing requirements at Mediaquest group, specifically TV5,” Mediaquest president and chief executive Ray Espinosa said in a statement.

Unitel, a television commercial production house, has the most number of projects done in the region, either on its own or through co-production arrangements.

The production company, which consistently uses the latest technology, has brought in the country’s first video assist and high-definition shoot to post technology. The Phantom Hi-speed camera and a Virtual Studio System are the latest addition to its production equipment.

The Virtual Studio System is the technology used for TV5 programs’ opening billboards. It will also be used in some segments of the new Batibot shows that will air in TV5 later this month.

TV5 teams up with Metra for advanced weather forecasting system

Weather forecasting and reporting in the Philippines will take a great leap forward as TV5 collaborates with the Metra Information Limited (Metra) of New Zealand for the provision of Metra's Weatherscape XT, the world's leading edge weather graphics system. A member of the UN World Meteorological Organization, Metra is the world's No. 1 weather news service with over 100 systems installed around the world.

TV5 has a special relationship with Metra as the international weather organization's first media partner in the Philippines. Metra gives TV5 access to the world's most advanced computer-based weather visualization system, enabling the network to be ahead of the weather at any given time.

Metra Weatherscape's full-featured weather graphics and data management solutions deliver relevant and accurate weather information, which is exactly what the country needs, particularly in forecasting extreme weather conditions. Fusing meteorological science with the latest advancements in computer graphics technology, Metra Weatherscape will give TV5 access to better weather communications systems and to dependable, high-quality forecasts providing a more timely supply of data.

We recognize the people's need to always be informed about weather situations that may affect their safety and livelihood. Apart from our thrust in TV5 to be abreast with global technological standards, it is really the Filipino people's need for relevant and accurate weather information that we're addressing in our partnership with the world's best weather forecast provider," shared Atty. Ray C. Espinosa, TV5's President and CEO.

Metra is a subsidiary of the Meteorological Service of New Zealand Limited and is a world leader in weather forecasting products and services. In the broadcast industry, Metra works with networks worldwide, with customers in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand. International clients such as McDonalds and Marks & Spencer use Metra weather forecasts to fine tune their operations. Metra also recently signed an agreement with the Philippines' PAGASA.

Metra's CEO, Paul Reid, flew in to Manila recently to ink the partnership agreement with TV5. 'Metra's continued growth and expansion in Asia highlights an increasing worldwide demand for timely, accurate and dynamic weather programming, and it also further reaffirms the broadcast industry's recognition of Metra as the world's leading provider of weather graphics and programming systems,' Reid said.

With this team-up with Metra, TV5 has taken the lead among the country's major national networks in providing the most sophisticated and highly advanced weather reporting system to Filipino viewers across the nation.

May Magbabalik!

Ngayong November na sa TV5!

ABANTE: Shalani trip hagisan ng paputok ni Miriam

Gustung-gusto ni Senadora Miriam Defensor Santiago ang personalidad ng ex-girlfriend ni Pangulong Benigno Aquino III na si Valenzuela Councilor Shalani Soledad subalit minsan trip ng senadora na hagisan ng paputok ang mahinhing konsehala.

Ayon kay Santiago, hindi man siya madalas manuod ng programang Willing Willie kung saan co-host si Shalani, gusto niya ang ugali ng konsehala dahil sa pagiging humble o mababang loob nito.

“I like her because she is humble. She does not show off. She’s not unne cessarily raising eyebrows but I just wish she is more assertive,” dagdag pa ng senadora.

Pagkukuwento pa ng senadora, minsan ay biniro pa niya ang kanyang asawa na gusto niyang magtungo sa programa ni Shalani dahil masyadong mahinhin itong kumilos sa kanyang programa.

“Sometimes I kid my husband, I should go to the studio and throw a firecracker at her to be a little more animated. But I like her,” kwento pa ni Santiago.

***Mapapanood ang Willing Willie sa TV5 Lunes-Biyernes (6:30PM) Sabado 5PM
