Filipino digital media platform The New Channel (TNC), known for timely, thought-provoking, and advocacy-driven content, announced its bold plans for 2025.
TNC aims to take center stage in producing online shows that focus on cultural promotion, international collaboration, and innovative projects that promote positive change and resonate with an international audience.
Charting a Transformative 2025
TNC is set to elevate its role as a key player in alternative media through these groundbreaking initiatives:
1. Showcasing Filipino Culture and Talent
TNC will continue to expand its lineup of online content in video and written formats, promoting Filipino culture, ingenuity, and talent. By collaborating with thought leaders, key opinion leaders, and responsible content creators locally and abroad, TNC aims to harness the power of digital media to spotlight the Philippines as a global hub of creativity, excellence, and innovation (or the newness of things).
2. Evolving Advocacy Projects
Flagship programs such as Global Women Who RULE, Me and My Outstanding Mother, and Like Father, Like Son will take on a new dimension in 2025. TNC intends to incorporate more face-to-face events with live audience participation while maintaining its robust live-streaming setup for maximum reach, both nationwide and globally.
3. TNC Combines Media with Music Marketing
TNC, together with its partnership with PraXis Experiential, will continue to run The Karaoke World Championship (KWC) franchise for the Philippines. This new year and the years to come promise a wave of acquiring new and raw talents from the country and will be exposed to the possibilities of not only competing on the global stage but also in international entertainment management contracts.
With Praxis as its partner, TNC will continue what it has started for music marketing. TNC is set to get involved in more music festival marketing, management, and productions in the country and abroad.
4. Global Collaborations and Expanding Reach
Continuing its mission of leveraging and elevating international influence, TNC will strengthen partnerships with global events, conventions, and advocacy groups. Through these existing and new collaborations, TNC is committed to amplifying Filipino voices and creating content that resonates across borders, solidifying its place as a global alternative media leader.
The New Channel promises to offer expanded and new online shows that will resonate with Filipinos and the international audience

Recent Trademark Rights Win Further validates TNC’s Efforts and Plans
In a recent significant legal victory, TNC Media Corp. has successfully defended its trademark rights following the intellectual property case filed against Filipino motivational speaker and TV and radio personality Lloyd Luna. The dispute centered on the registration of the trademark “TNC”, which Luna secured for himself. The Bureau of Legal Affairs (BLA) of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) has ruled in favor of TNC, canceling Luna’s registration and affirming the company’s trademark ownership.
TNC welcomed the ruling, reaffirming its commitment to its mission and the protection of its brand.
“This recent and successive victory of our trademark battle not only allows us to move forward with renewed focus, but also serves as a powerful example for companies and individuals to stand up for their intellectual property rights.” Manansala said upon hearing the news.
