Asian Television Content Corporation (ATC) was a Filipino TV broadcast programming content provider and the major blocktimer of the Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation, a government-sequestred TV network founded in 1960 and based in Broadcast City, Old Balara, Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City. Its offices located at the # 85 Dona Justina St. Cor. Dalton St. Filinvest II, Brgy. Batasan Hills, Quezon City.

History

ATCC was established last June 2013 as the network signed a blocktime agreement with IBC Channel 13. (that time, the blocktime deal with AKTV/TV5 expired due to high blocktime costs and low ratings) Before that, in April 2013, ATC together with ONE Fighting Championship and IBC agreed for the Free TV broadcast of the largest MMA organization in Asia. Therefore, ATC also partners with HubMedia, a Singaporean company that provides TV & movie program international distribution.[1]

Last June 2, 2014, ATCC's primetime block for channel 13 was launched. Programs that will be aired on the primetime slot of 13 are Australian kid-oriented show Hi-5 and two Mexican telenovelas The Two Sides of Ana (Dalawang Mukha ni Ana) and La Teniente.[2][3] Local programs Stoplight TV, re-runs of Retro TV, Travel & Trade and Travel: Philippines, and foreign shows such as Animalia, Beyond Stardom, The Big Planet, Boost, Culture Flavors, Fame, Fashion Memoir, Gadgets & Gizmos, PBA D-League, and ONE FC also part of the programming line-up of ATC @ IBC 13.[4]

However on August 31, 2014, some of the programs of ATC have been discontinued.

It was later, ATC relegated into a content provider and producer of different sporting coverages, including the PBA Developmental League, NAASCU, One Fighting Championship and the Philippine Tackle Football League.
