Leave it at as it is, right now it looks professional and too much information can't hurt.

well, the article has too much information...useless information.

Here is my list of the article's useless info:

  • Worldwide (through GMA Pinoy TV and seen worldwide) - why would you repeat "and seen worldwide" if the article mentioned that it is Worldwide? And GMA Pinoy TV must be placed in the "See Also" section.
  • Philippines (through owned terrestrial stations and as seen on QTV 11) - actually, you can put "GMA-7 and QTV-11" here because the article is about GMA Network, not GMA-7.
  • The history section must be reformatted as it looks like the exact copy from the company's website, like in the case of Ayala Corporation, which is now edited.
  • The article is about GMA Network, Inc.--not about GMA-7. So, the article should be splitted into two: GMA Network and GMA-7.
  • Partnerships in acquiring TV programs must not be included, as if you've seen in an NBC article that the company acquires from 20th Century Fox, MGM or WB.
  • Comcast, DirecTV and such are not affiliates of GMA Pinoy TV but rather providers of GMA Pinoy TV , so the info must be deleted, and also the Local TV Networks and Media Productions, the reason is stated earlier.
  • The list of GMA Network shows must be deleted as it is shows of GMA-7, not GMA Network. GMA Network is just a proprietor of GMA-7.
  • Program blocks are useless. They don't seem to be informative.
  • In the external links portion, you must not put Orbit there as it is just a provider of GMA-7 shows, not a GMA Network subsidiary, and also the blogs about GMA Network.

That's all.

Good idea, yea reading it is one thing but paying attention to details is another thing. You got my support in editing it. JonSnow

[edit] Partnerships

Perhaps those would have to be updated, or are we making it historical? Howard the Duck | talk, 11:21, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I really think that this part of the article must go. This list is incomplete, and would grow overtime.

We a little referencing it would be a "legit" section. --Howard the Duck 15:21, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Programming

Are all stations nationwide show the same thing? Or are there local variants? --Howard the Duck 11:39, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so, Iloilo and Cebu has some entertainment programs.

What days and times are they shown? Are they shown on primetime? So we can edit the TV programs section. (Also, sign your posts with ~~~~ so we'll know who you are. --Howard the Duck 15:20, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Branding Page

How about a new, chunky article about the branding of GMA? I propose that the article contains a merged GMA Network Logos and the Where You Belong Page. We might as well put the lyrics of GMA's current theme song, as it would probably not go well with the main page. All the mottos and slogans would go into that page, and the only mottos left for this page would be the first three ones. What do you think?

[edit] GMA Network Addresses:

I think they can merged with another section. --Howard the Duck 14:25, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
