Ernie Lopez

President and CEO, ABS-CBN Publishing

 

As president of Creative Programs, Inc, Ernie Lopez oversees the lifestyle ecosystem of ABS-CBN, his family’s media network

It can be difficult to list everything covered by the sprawl of the ABS-CBN network, simply because the media giant has interests in so many different forms of entertainment. However, it’s clear that a chunk of it falls under the oversight of Ernie Lopez, a third-generation scion of the Lopez family. He’s president and CEO of Creative Programs, Inc, an ABS-CBN subsidiary that operates and distributes pay TV channels and pay-per-view services to direct-to-home satellite and cable television providers. Under Creative Programs are channels like Cinema One, Myx, ANC, Knowledge Channel, and various international channels, too. In 2019, ABS-CBN Publishing, which publishes magazines and books, was merged under Creative Programs as well. Ernie Lopez is president of it all, and so is in charge of an increasingly important unit of his family’s media network.

In 2019, Lopez also began hosting G Diaries, an advocacy-based television program by his late sister Gina, who had previously been the host until she passed away in August of that year. Lopez now hosts the show with his wife Michelle Arville-Lopez.
