Michael Jackson Memorial Service: The Biggest Web Event in History?
July 9, 2009 by cd
A giant audience was formed at computer screens to experience the mourning in Michael Jackson’s memorial service.
Mashable has the numbers:
When the King of Pop passed away on June 25, almost 4.2 million people from across the globe logged on to news sites to check the news. It was the biggest day on the network of Akami, which delivers 20% of the Internet’s traffic. The second biggest day was July 8 (US standard time) as Michael Jackson’s memorial service was conducted in Los Angeles.
Global web traffic was as high as 33% above normal during the event, with traffic reaching four million visitors per minute. The three biggest centres for all Jackson memorial-related information were Ustream (A video streaming service), Facebook and CNN (who tied up to provide video services along with real-time social networking) and Twitter.
According to AllThingsD, The Michael Jackson Memorial on Tuesday was the 3rd biggest web event on the internet next to President Barack Obama’s inauguration and the news of Michael Jackson’s death.

MJ is the greatest entertainer ever lived!
I cried when Paris expressed how much she love her daddy..God bless MJ’s children.

July 9th, 2009 at 11:03 am
It really broke my heart when I saw Paris cried on his father’s memorial. I knew what it felt like to lose a parent you loved so dearly. I just lose my mother last February of this year and still breaks my heart up to this time. I have not yet moved on. Just like what Paris said to his father MJ, I love my mom so much and she will always be the best mom in the world

GMA Network, the Philippines’ leading free-to-air media broadcast company, has expanded its Omneon Spectrum server systems to establish a streamlined file-based workflow at its Manila multichannel playout facility.
GMA Network uses a Spectrum media server system to support its Apple Final Cut Pro edit workflow, and the company’s addition of a mirrored Spectrum playout system enables fast transfer and direct playback of QuickTime files generated by the Apple edit system without any rewrapping or transcoding.
The Spectrum server’s open architecture supports tight video format integration with Final Cut Pro, allowing finished content such as commercials and promos to be exported from edit stations to the Spectrum system using industry-standard file protocols over GigE.
Because the media server supports QuickTime files natively, working with a DV25 QuickTime Reference format, the finished segments can be transferred and played out from the server immediately with no additional processing.

MA Network Inc., the Philippines’ leading broadcast company, may exceed growth expectations this year, its president and chief executive said, a day before its Wednesday stockholder’s meeting.
Expansion is expected to come from the continued high ratings of its television programs, subscriber growth in its international TV channels, improved revenues from DZBB, its radio business, and QTV, its sister TV channel, GMA Network’s Felipe L. Gozon Jr. said.
He made this announcement during a general assembly attended by company employees on Tuesday.
The company that runs the country’s top free television channel may even expand by as much as 25 percent this year, Gozon added.
Besides being higher than this year’s growth goals of 18 percent, Gozon’s estimate is also bigger than its five-year targets.
In last year’s April briefing, company executives expect GMA Network to grow by 20 percent every year for a five year period.

net income ng abscbn ng 2008 income tax lang ng gma7 ganun kaliit kita ng abscbn..
The Philippines’ leading broadcast company announced that it paid more than a billion pesos in corporate income taxes, an amount that is nearly equal to its rival’s earnings last year.
GMA Network Inc., which runs the country’s first and third-ranking free TV channels, paid P1.106 billion in corporate income tax in 2008, chief financial officer and senior-vice president for corporate services Felipe S. Yalong said in a statement.
The amount does not include other taxes paid for by the network including value added tax (VAT), withholding tax, among others, the company said in a statement.
“GMA leads in fulfilling its responsibilities as a corporate citizen as our corporate income tax almost equals our biggest competitor’s net income for 2008,” Yalong said.
The company’s rival, Lopez-led ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. reported a nine percent increase in net income to P1.38 billion last year. The increase was attributed to higher revenues from airtime and direct sales, which rose by 12 percent to P22.3 billion.
For its part, GMA Network Inc. earned P2.369 billion in 2008, three percent higher than the previous year, thanks to increased airtime revenues from TV and radio.
The company also produces and broadcasts radio programs in 16 cities and one municipality across the Philippines on its wholly-owned network of 24 radio stations and one minority-owned radio station.
The company recently declared a cash dividend of P1.7 billion, equal to 70 percent of its 2008 net income.
Stockholders as of April 21, 2009 are entitled to receive 35 centavos for each share held which will be payable on May 11, the company said during an analysts’ briefing earlier this month.
The dividend payout is 40 percent higher than the 25 centavor dividend issued in 2008.
GMA Network has established itself as the most profitable broadcast company in the country for the past years with its 2008 net income being P1 billion higher than its rival’s net profit for the same year, the company’s statement said.

GMA Network Inc. remained confident of meeting its first half profit goals after various companies continued to spend for advertising and promotion.
Higher revenues, a slight increase in expenses, and improving international business operations are expected to drive the company’s net income of P1.4 billion for the January to June period.
GMA Network, mega Luzon’s dominant television station, is targeting a 22 percent increase in its bottomline to P2.8 billion this year from P2.3 billion in 2008.
“The second quarter is a good quarter for us. In the first five months, there was a 22-percent increase in revenues from the same period in 2008,” said Felipe Yalong, the company’s chief finance officer and senior vice president for corporate services, at the sidelines of the Media Industry Briefing of the Philippine Stock Exchange in Ortigas, Pasig City.
Costs were also contained at three percent while its international operations have also “increased,” Yalong said.
Advertisements especially coming from the consumer-oriented sectors such as food companies have begun to spend again on promotions and television commercials, he said.
Companies “started realizing to spend again” after seeing that “the Philippines is not that affected by the global recession,” said Yalong.
Confidence in the ability of Filipinos to spend came from the stability of foreign exchange rate, he said.
“BPOs (business process outsourcing sectors) contribute to the country’s dollar revenues,” he added.
With the onset of the election period, revenues from “political advocacies” in the January to May period amounted to about P180 million, Yalong said.
Although the company has already increased advertising rates by about 10 percent this year, it may hike fees further, Yalong said. He refused to elaborate.

From its very humble beginnings as a radio station owned by Robert “Uncle Bob” Stewart to what it is today as challenger to the no. 1 broadcast network in the Philippines, GMA has scored impressive wins.
Now on its 59th year, the Kapuso station has much to be thankful for. In 2008, GMA inaugurated one of the most technologically-advanced studios in the country today—the GMA Network Studios. With cutting-edge equipment and world-class studios, the Kapuso station has come up with more award-winning programs.
Moreover, GMA enjoys the utmost trust of Filipinos, the widest coverage in the country, the highest ratings in Mega Manila and Luzon, and profitable operations despite the economic downturn.

GMA Network, the Philippines’ leading free-to-air media broadcast company, has expanded its Omneon Spectrum server systems to establish a streamlined file-based workflow at its Manila multichannel playout facility.
GMA Network uses a Spectrum media server system to support its Apple Final Cut Pro edit workflow, and the company’s addition of a mirrored Spectrum playout system enables fast transfer and direct playback of QuickTime files generated by the Apple edit system without any rewrapping or transcoding.

MA Network Inc., the Philippines’ leading broadcast company, may exceed growth expectations this year, its president and chief executive said, a day before its Wednesday stockholder’s meeting.
Expansion is expected to come from the continued high ratings of its television programs, subscriber growth in its international TV channels, improved revenues from DZBB, its radio business, and QTV, its sister TV channel, GMA Network’s Felipe L. Gozon Jr. said.
He made this announcement during a general assembly attended by company employees on Tuesday.
The company that runs the country’s top free television channel may even expand by as much as 25 percent this year, Gozon added.
Besides being higher than this year’s growth goals of 18 percent, Gozon’s estimate is also bigger than its five-year targets.
In last year’s April briefing, company executives expect GMA Network to grow by 20 percent every year for a five year period.

The Philippines’ leading broadcast company announced that it paid more than a billion pesos in corporate income taxes, an amount that is nearly equal to its rival’s earnings last year.
GMA Network Inc., which runs the country’s first and third-ranking free TV channels, paid P1.106 billion in corporate income tax in 2008, chief financial officer and senior-vice president for corporate services Felipe S. Yalong said in a statement.
The amount does not include other taxes paid for by the network including value added tax (VAT), withholding tax, among others, the company said in a statement.
“GMA leads in fulfilling its responsibilities as a corporate citizen as our corporate income tax almost equals our biggest competitor’s net income for 2008,” Yalong said.
The company’s rival, Lopez-led ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. reported a nine percent increase in net income to P1.38 billion last year. The increase was attributed to higher revenues from airtime and direct sales, which rose by 12 percent to P22.3 billion.
For its part, GMA Network Inc. earned P2.369 billion in 2008, three percent higher than the previous year, thanks to increased airtime revenues from TV and radio.
The company also produces and broadcasts radio programs in 16 cities and one municipality across the Philippines on its wholly-owned network of 24 radio stations and one minority-owned radio station.
The company recently declared a cash dividend of P1.7 billion, equal to 70 percent of its 2008 net income.
Stockholders as of April 21, 2009 are entitled to receive 35 centavos for each share held which will be payable on May 11, the company said during an analysts’ briefing earlier this month.
The dividend payout is 40 percent higher than the 25 centavor dividend issued in 2008.
GMA Network has established itself as the most profitable broadcast company in the country for the past years with its 2008 net income being P1 billion higher than its rival’s net profit for the same year, the company’s statement said.

GMA Network Inc. remained confident of meeting its first half profit goals after various companies continued to spend for advertising and promotion.
Higher revenues, a slight increase in expenses, and improving international business operations are expected to drive the company’s net income of P1.4 billion for the January to June period.
GMA Network, mega Luzon’s dominant television station, is targeting a 22 percent increase in its bottomline to P2.8 billion this year from P2.3 billion in 2008.
“The second quarter is a good quarter for us. In the first five months, there was a 22-percent increase in revenues from the same period in 2008,” said Felipe Yalong, the company’s chief finance officer and senior vice president for corporate services, at the sidelines of the Media Industry Briefing of the Philippine Stock Exchange in Ortigas, Pasig City.
Costs were also contained at three percent while its international operations have also “increased,” Yalong said.
Advertisements especially coming from the consumer-oriented sectors such as food companies have begun to spend again on promotions and television commercials, he said.
Companies “started realizing to spend again” after seeing that “the Philippines is not that affected by the global recession,” said Yalong.
Confidence in the ability of Filipinos to spend came from the stability of foreign exchange rate, he said.
“BPOs (business process outsourcing sectors) contribute to the country’s dollar revenues,” he added.
With the onset of the election period, revenues from “political advocacies” in the January to May period amounted to about P180 million, Yalong said.
Although the company has already increased advertising rates by about 10 percent this year, it may hike fees further, Yalong said. He refused to elaborate.

TELEVISION Dwarf ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. wants regulators to suspend rival GMA Network, Inc.’s operations in Benguet, claiming the latter has failed to correct signal interferences in certain parts of Batangas.
In a filing before the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC), ABS-CBN said GMA Network operations in Benguet continue to cause channel interference in a number of towns.
The Lopez-led firm first complained of the interference on June 11, 2008, blaming GMA Network’s Channel 10 (DZEA-TV) in Benguet.
The GMA Network TV station at Tuba in Mt. Sto. Tomas, Benguet has authorized transmission power of 20 kilowatts, while ABS-CBN is authorized to operate a five-kilowatt TV station (DZAD-TV) in Mt. Banoy, Batangas. Both have the same frequency of Channel 10.

wala namang credibilidad ang tns kaya nga abscbn lang ang subscriber nila sa nationwide ratings nila…at abscbn ang nag papagawa nito kaya bias..
Alam nyo ba todo promote ang tns sa ,mga shows ng dos pag nag-susurvey sila ,may posters,liftlets at iba pang promotional materials ng dos..bukod dito pinipili nila ang i-susurvey dapat kapamilya…
Hindi ba kayo nagtataka bakit bigla sumulpot yang tns simula ng umalis sa agb ang abscbn dahil lagi talo sa megamanila ratings ng gma7 at nauungusan na rin sa nutam ng agb..syempre nabayaran..
ang tns 2 lang ang total subscribers nito isang advertising agency sa meganila ratings at abscbn sa nationwide ratings..
Ang AGB may total of 24 clients both megamanila at nationwide kasama ang malalaking kumpanya,advertising agency at ibang tv network at radio station bukod sa gma7..
Diba halatng daya ang tns..
