ABS-CBN, the Philippines' leading content provider, has signed a new content deal with Warner Bros. Discovery to bring some of ABS-CBN’s lifestyle content to more audiences in Central and Southeast Asia.
In a statement, ABS-CBN said it will showcase the wonders of Filipino sceneries and diverse culture, also of its Asian neighbors, to more foreign audiences in Asia as it brings its array of lifestyle programs via the international cable channels Discovery Asia and Asian Food Network.
Among the shows to be featured is "Beached," a travel show touring the most scenic beaches and island resorts in the Philippines and around the world, with its first season premiering on Discovery Asia starting Oct. 27.
Meanwhile, international viewers will get to watch the National Winner for Best Lifestyle Program at the 2022 Asian Academy Awards, "The Crawl," beginning Nov. 9; and the search for the best Filipino cuisine plus other worldwide gastronomic treats, hosted by internationally renowned Filipino chef Sandy Daza, in "Foodprints," premiering on Asian Food Network starting Dec. 14.
In addition to linear broadcast, audiences in the Philippines can also enjoy these titles on streaming platform discovery+, available for iOS and Android devices.
These programs are originally produced by Metro Channel, the cable TV counterpart of its premium lifestyle brand Metro, under ABS-CBN's content subsidiary Creative Programs Inc. (CPI).
ABS-CBN continues making waves in global content distribution by bringing world-class Filipino series and movies of all genres to foreign audiences in over 50 territories worldwide, selling over 50,000 hours of content.
Living up to this recognition, ABS-CBN International Distribution commits to adding to its line-up of high-caliber programs and movies with cast and storylines that appeal to various cultures.
