From a relatively unknown TV station, IBC 13 reached greater heights and became the country's top-rating network.  Through hard work coupled with and intrepid business sense, IBC management developed a strategic programming that appealed to the mass audience.  Thus, IBC 13 set a lot of firsts in the broadcasting industry.  Showing full-length Tagalog films and the introduction of one-of-a-kind program genres were first seen on Channel 13.  Who could ever forget Johnny Weismuller as Tarzan, Iskul Bukol, Chicks to Chicks, Seeing Stars with JQ, T.O.D.A.S., See-True and a lot more?  Back then, when one spoke of television, it's nothing but IBC 13.

Years passed.  After EDSA Revolution, things were never the same again in the network.  IBC became a government controlled operation under the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG).  Malacañang appointed several management groups to oversee the operation of the stations.  The network's condition became congruent with the government situation.  New administrators meant new management.

IBC 13 managed to survive despite unstable conditions.  The niche it has carved in the broadcasting industry proved to be an indelible one.  Instant recall has always been associated with IBC and its glorious past.

Now, a new hope shines on IBC, the network which pioneered various genres in TV production.  As long as IBC remains a network with its innovative and creative core intact, the dream of reaching the top is not so far away.
