ABS-CBN Entertainment has hit a new milestone on YouTube with 45 million subscribers as it remains the most subscribed YouTube channel in all of Southeast Asia. 

It is the number one YouTube channel in the region in terms of all-time high subscribers in the Media and Entertainment category, according to Tubular Labs, one of the most trusted global video measurement and analytics platforms.

ABS-CBN, the country’s biggest content provider, continues to strengthen its digital presence to reach more audiences in different parts of the world. Recently, its newest primetime show, “Senior High,” was made available for free and on-demand on YouTube in the US, Canada, Middle East, Europe, and Australia. 

ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel also houses its free livestreaming service, Kapamilya Online Live, where viewers in the Philippines and select territories enjoy live and on-demand viewing of the latest episodes of various Kapamilya shows. Last Sept. 11, all three primetime shows hit an all-time high live viewership record as viewers witnessed Coco Martin’s new chapter in “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” Richard Gutierrez’s action-packed revelations in “The Iron Heart,” and Andrea Brillantes’ quest for revenge in “Senior High.”

Viewers’ afternoons are also more intense on Kapamilya Online Live with the comeback of afternoon shows on ABS-CBN - mystery series “Pira-Pirasong Paraiso” starring Elisse Joson, Alexa Ilacad, Charlie Dizon, and Loisa Andalio and revenge series “Nag-Aapoy Na Damdamin” starring Tony Labrusca, Ria Atayde, JC De Vera, and Jane Oineza. 

Apart from the streaming of currently airing programs and classic shows, viewers around the world can also look forward to the streaming of the red carpet coverage of the highly anticipated ABS-CBN Ball 2023, where the biggest and brightest stars come together for a night full of gratitude on Sept. 30.

Additionally, viewers worldwide can enjoy exclusive “Made for YouTube” shows, with exciting new offerings coming soon. Feel the ‘kilig’ in Gillian Vicencio and Yves Flores’ “ReTox 2 Be Continued,” “Love Bites” seasons one and two featuring Iana Bernardez, Aya Fernandez, Chie Filomeno, Kaila Estrada, and more, join P-Pop groups in their “BINI x BGYO US Vlogs,” and go behind the scenes with Kapuso and Kapamilya stars Joshua Garcia, Gabbi Garcia, Richard Yap, and Jodi Sta. Maria in “Unbreak My Heart: Europe Experience.” 

Classic and well-loved ABS-CBN shows are also available for ABS-CBN Superview where viewers can expect fresh offerings every month. Take a trip down memory lane by streaming the romance dramas “Halik,” “A Love to Last,” “Got to Believe,” and “Pangako Sa ‘Yo,” the anthology series “MMK,” and many more. 

ABS-CBN’s efforts to continue to serve with entertaining and inspiring stories boosts the company’s transition into being an agile digital company with the biggest online presence among all media companies, and a growing list of digital properties that appeal to a wide array of audiences.
