KBP September GMM tackles digital expansion, franchise issues
The Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) held its General Membership Meeting (GMM) for September in Makati, bringing together network owners, executives, and representatives from across the country.
Roy Bato, founding president of the KBP CALABARZON Chapter and representative of St. Jude Thaddeus Institute of Technology—which operates Infinite Radio, a commercial FM station serving progressive areas in the Philippines—said the meeting focused on three major points.
First, members discussed preparations for the upcoming Top Level Management Conference (TLMC), one of KBP’s flagship events where industry leaders gather to address pressing broadcast and media concerns.
Second, the body tackled the possibility of opening KBP membership to non-traditional broadcast players such as content providers and radio streaming platforms. The proposal, however, is still subject to further review and final approval by the KBP Board.
Third, discussions also centered on the continuity of KBP member networks with franchises currently on hold or undergoing renewal. Ensuring these stations remain compliant and supported during the process was highlighted as a key concern.
The KBP GMM, an exclusive monthly gathering of broadcast executives, continues to serve as a platform for dialogue, policy shaping, and strengthening the country’s broadcasting industry amid rapid digital transformation.
