“Quality digital TV viewing is now made accessible to the majority of Filipino homes. It’s exciting to hit the one million mark only months into its launch and we are very grateful for the support of our Kapuso viewers,” Bautista added. 

The network also said the digital TV mobile receiver, GMA Now, which will allow users to watch TV on the go for free will be launched this year. 

GMA earlier said it will invest more than P20 billion from 2021 to 2023 to produce more content and support digital TV expansion. 

The company’s projected three-year capital expenditures would support the construction of a new building and state-of-the-art studios inside the GMA Network complex in Quezon City. A huge portion of the budget would also be allocated for content production and post-production. 

The budget covers the continuing expansion of its digital terrestrial television reach and various projects in the regions to strengthen GMA’s presence nationwide.
