Cebu City is renowned for giving birth to some of Asia's greatest entertainers like Vina Morales, Pilita Corales and Lou Dayoc (an active local showbiz promoter and host).
Most recently the city gained attention through ABS-CBN's facilities when one of its residents, 16-year old Kim Chiu, won the grand prize of the Philippines version of Endemol's Big Brother (Pinoy Big Brother). Not to be outdone however is Raki Vega who won another ABS-CBN contest and is now an endorser of Cebuano products. The city also has its own orchestra, the Peace Philharmonic Orchestra, which was founded by international pianist Ingrid Sala Santamaria.
Most recently Emmilie Cuizon, a resident of Cebu City, has been recruited as the newest member of the SexBomb Girls, the largest and most famous girl band of the Philippines.
The city itself is also home to broadcasted variety shows Sabado na Gyud (ABS-CBN) and Oi (GMA Network), which continue to attract millions of televiewers across the entire Visayas and Mindanao.
There are currently three major local channels (Cebu-based) that features shows and documentaries relevant to the city and the province as well. They are Real Cebu TeleVision RCTV Channel 36 and Cebu Channel 28.
