While most companies would stick to tried-and-tested formulas during these challenging times, Solar Entertainment Corporation’s subsidiary, ETC Channel, took a risk and presented Tagalized Turkish drama series as the initial offering of their ETCerye primetime block. Wilson actually found Turkish dizi by accident or destiny, as the long-time TV/movie mogul prefers to call it. In December last year, he was in Singapore to attend the Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF) to acquire programs for ETC. “It was done at high and multi-tasking speed,” Edel Pepito, Solar Entertainment Corporation’s vice president for Acquisitions, said of their effort. Voices were ‘auditioned’.”Most, if not everyone involved in producing these Tagalized Turkish series, have been delighted with the breakthrough format.
