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)
[edit] GMA Network owned by American Broadcasting Company?
Does ABC really owned a portion of GMA (Then RBS) way back in the 1960's? I thought that "Uncle Bob" Stewart is the sole owner of the station... -Danngarcia 19:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Some Unnecessary Info and Criticisms
- "When democracy in the Philippines was restored in the People Power Revolution in 1986, television stations began to air, some with their original owners. ABS-CBN..."
- What's the point of this paragraph? It's all about ABS-CBN.
- GMA Radio-Television Arts section needs sources and/or a rewrite. Too much history, some irrelevant info there. Potentially libelous statements if unreferenced, for example: "Imee Marcos, daughter of Ferdinand Marcos, attempted to takeover GMA".
- Throughout the entire article, the present tenses and past tenses are so messed up it just ain't funny.
- "The production of various shows were up to par with its rival network, ABS-CBN."
- More unnecessary mention of ABS-CBN. In fact, the sentence should just be stricken from the record.
- "GMA finally gained a rating advantage in Mega Manila over ABS-CBN, officially on September 23, 2004." What's the point?
- There are a lot of statements presented as facts which have no references.
- "In April, the founder of the network, Robert "Uncle Bob" Stewart died in the United States." I don't see the point of the statement. Maybe on the person's article (if one exists), but it has nothing to do with GMA as it is.
- Too much of the article is centred around ratings. Far too much than is actually encyclopedic.
- "In a 2006 survey conducted by Pulse Asia, 7 out of 10 Metro Manila-based viewers find GMA Network a more credible network than rival ABS-CBN." I don't see the relevance to the article. Sounds like some editors might have a WP:COI since a lot of the article sounds like mere chest-beating.
- A lot of the article sounds like it was written by GMA employees or people affiliated with the network (this applies to a LOT of Philippine company articles I've seen). I refer these editors to WP:COI.
A lot of work needs to be done on this article. Shrumster 21:37, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'd agree with this, but since you know where to look at, perhaps you do it. I'll back it up of someone goes ballistic. --Howard the Duck 07:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Campus radio 97.1
Hope GMA will bring back the old format..The new one sucks big time! Hate GMA for wanting to '"earn"' more...
