ABS-CBN News Receives Diamond Creator Award from YouTube for Hitting 10M Subscribers

ABS-CBN News received  its Diamond Creator Award from YouTube three months after hitting 10 million subscribers, a milestone achieved as the organization strengthened its video presence online. 

The diamond play button arrived with a congratulatory letter from YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. 

“We hope you’ll accept this Diamond Creator Award as a token of our appreciation, and our respect for what you’ve accomplished… You amaze us and inspire us every day. Keep it coming,” the letter said. 

As of writing, ABS-CBN News’ YouTube channel already has 10.8 million subscribers, with some 6.7 billion lifetime views. 

ABS-CBN News' YouTube channel hosts the Kapamilya network’s wide-ranging news and current affairs content, including live and on-demand streaming of its flagship newscast “TV Patrol,” and programs from ANC and TeleRadyo. 

These digital offerings were made accessible worldwide starting last week after once being limited to Philippine viewers, putting ABS-CBN News on track to reach an even wider audience on YouTube. 

ABS-CBN News’ diamond award comes only a month after another digital accomplishment for the Kapamilya network. 

In October, ABS-CBN Entertainment remained far-and-away the most subscribed YouTube channel in the Philippines, as it crossed 30 million subscribers. 

ABS-CBN Entertainment - which now has 30.8 million subscribers and nearly 40 billion lifetime views - is the home of Kapamilya Online Live, the day-long live stream of ABS-CBN programs on YouTube.
