GMA Network Partners with Reddit
GMA Network, the Philippines' leading multimedia network, has joined forces with Reddit, the global online community platform, to deliver a fresh and interactive way for audiences to engage with their favorite shows and stars. This partnership, facilitated by the Network's digital media and technology arm GMA New Media Inc. (GMA NMI), makes GMA the first entertainment publisher in the Philippines to establish an official presence on Reddit through the official community r/KamuningStation, cementing its status as a pioneer in digital innovation.
The collaboration commences with the launch of Fast Talk Ask, an interactive campaign where redditors can directly engage with the guests of Kapuso talk show “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.” Through r/KamuningStation, and the popular local community r/ChikaPH, users can submit their questions for upcoming celebrity guests by simply commenting on designated posts. Selected questions are then featured either on air during the show or online. The campaign kicked off with Sparkle artist and comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto, where she replied to redditor questions through the online exclusive series Behind the Talk.
Fast Talk Ask continued to gain traction with notable guests such as international theater actress and singer Rachelle Ann Go, popular influencers Jomar Yee and Spencer Serafica, and Tony Labrusca, the latest talent under Sparkle GMA Artist Center. Fast Talk with Boy Abunda's anniversary celebration featured special appearances by Kapuso Primetime King Family Feud host Dingdong Dantes, and the beloved original love team Marvin Agustin and Jolina Magdangal-Escueta, who gamely answered redditor questions. This ongoing initiative provides fans with more chances to engage directly with their favorite stars, transforming Fast Talk with Boy Abunda into an interactive and participatory experience.
Looking ahead, Reddit's signature live Q&A format, Ask Me Anything (AMA), will soon spotlight popular GMA personalities, including the hosts of All-Out Sundays, and the cast of iconic comedy show Bubble Gang. Additionally, an exclusive Reddit activity is planned for Tiktoclock, with more details to be revealed soon.
A Shared Vision for Community and Connection
GMA and Reddit share a commitment to fostering meaningful conversations and empowering communities. With over 2.5 million members in r/Philippines, the platform is home to one of the country's largest online communities. This partnership leverages the growing influence of Reddit to bring audiences closer to the interests and stories they love.
“This collaboration is a testament to GMA's commitment to embracing innovation and creating spaces where our audiences can connect and engage like never before,” said Dennis Augusto Caharian, President and COO of GMA NMI. “With Reddit, we are taking entertainment to the next level by nurturing the GMA community and fostering deeper connections with our audience.”
“Reddit is all about forging connections and conversations, and through this partnership, fans will have the chance to interact directly with TV personalities, share unfiltered reviews, and engage with fellow viewers. It's a fresh way to experience entertainment, and we're excited to see how it brings people together,” said Jules Garcia, Country Growth Lead of Reddit Philippines.
