MVP says GMA-7 and TV5 merger may be finalized “within the year”

“There’s desire on both parties to come to terms,” says TV5 chairman Manny about the reported GMA-7-TV5 buyout during PLDT stockholders’ meeting earlier today, June 14.

Pahiwatig na nga kaya ng posibleng pagsasanib-puwersa ng GMA-7 at TV5 ang naging pahayag ng Kapatid network big boss na si Manny V. Pangilinan sa Amerika?

Muli na namang napag-usapan ang merger na ito sa ginawang PLDT stockholders’ meeting kanina, June 14.

Ayon sa ulat ng Rappler.com, mismong si MVP ang nagsabi na maaaring maisakatuparan na ang merger sa pagitan ng TV5 at GMA-7 bago matapos ang taong 2012.

Ayon naman sa ulat ng TV5 News, positibo ring inihayag ni MVP na, “There’s desire on both parties to come to terms.”

Gayunman, isinaad ni Pangilinan na may ilang pang mga bagay na dapat pag-usapan tungkol sa deal na ito.

“We are in discussions with GMA-7… Nothing has been finalized... Discussions are moving positively… To come to terms, many issues to be discussed.”

Nang tanungin kung magkano ang magiging presyo ng deal na ito, sumagot si MVP ng: “below P100 billion.”

TRUE OR NOT? Matatandaan na sa press conference na inihanda para sa partnership ng TV5 at Dish Network sa Amerika kamakailan, nakiusap si MVP na suportahan ang mga programa ng Kapatid network doon.

Pagkatapos ay idinagdag niya na suportahan din nila ang mga show ng GMA-7, na partner din ng naturang direct broadcast satellite service sa Amerika.

Bagamat nagkaroon muli ng espekulasyon dahil sa kanyang sinabi, nilinaw ito ni MVP sa text message na ipinadala niya kay TV5 host Arnell Ignacio.

Aniya, “No mention of merger investment, combination. Certainly no mention of November deadline at all. Sure some people speculated and all I said was I can now say we, are under discussion but nothing finalized at this time.”

Sa hiwalay naman na interbyu kay Atty. Felipe Gozon, chairman at CEO ng GMA-7, sinabi niya, “Well, as I said, we are not selling. No, it’s true. I’ve been very consistent that we are not selling.


“However, sinabi ko naman being a realistic practical person that if we are offered a price that we think is right and we cannot refuse, e, sino ba naman ang hindi magbebenta kung kursunada mo yung price?”

    walang credibility , noon sabi nya wala syang alam tungkol sa issue na bilihan. 2nd naman sabi nya 500B, tapos naman sabi nya 100B. and then sabi na naman nya na kung pag uusapan pipirma ako. tapos ngayun naman below 100B nlng ang halaga ng GMA. Obvious na obvious walang pagmamahal sa kanyang istasyon.

    kapamilya fantards lang naman pilit palabasin that the merger makes GMA Network lesser than ABSCBN when in fact its nowhere near that conclusion. one with logical sense dictates it is the contrary. everything you see in the article is about two networks with billions of resources, ABS-CBN is not one of them. all you kapamilya fantards wag epal. LOL!

    skyler, pity on u too! bka ikaw ang ndi nkakaintindi jan. Ung cnasabi mu n 7 billion n revenues ng ABS-CBN eh ndi nman galing s advertisements yan eh. 4 billion of that came from the consumer sales. Alam mu b ang consumer sales? Consumer sales ay ang pagbebenta ng isang produkto at serbisyo mula mismo s consumers o mamimili. S kaso ng ABS-CBN, iyon ay galing s Sky Cable at Bayantel so ang natitira ay 3 billion. Ikaw ang mgbasa ndi aq. You are the one who didn't understand ung mga nkasulat dun. Ndi mu nga alam ang PSE yata eh at bka ndi mu rin alam ang consumer sales. Pro ngpapasalamat aq sau ksi mas lalung ndi mabibili ni MVP ang GMA ksi pinapataas mu ang shares nila n ntatalo n nila ang ABS-CBN pro mgbasa k ng mabuti ha?

    sa daming potential revenues that ABSCBN can generate but earns LESS than GMA whos significantly smaller in reach, that says a lot about ABSCBN's performance. GMA on the other hand, zero debt, managed to create high quality shows which corroborated with higher ratings and higher income despite limited expenses, no wonder gigil na gigil ang mga investors!
