Iland TV 13:
1989

The top rated shows of IBC were pirated by rival networks. Cost of programs, talent fees and TV rights increased tremendously. IBC could no longer afford to produce its own shows.

IBC took a new image, Pusong Pinoy Pusong Trese, to recapture the glory days it once had.  But because of the sequestration, periodic change of management and the internal problems, the network started to lose the support of advertisers.

Island Broadcast Corporation took over the management and the marketing of IBC which came to be known as Island TV 13.   It was in the later part of its operations that ratings and income suffered due to mismanagement which caused labor unrest.
