NO exaggeration but for a number of days, after the ABS-CBN shutdown, it was quiet in our house. The usual TV background noise I would hear during lunch or dinner, emanating either from the kitchen or the room of our house angel (and rightful landlady of our house, as she knows every nook and cranny of our small abode), was reduced to a dreadful silence.
Even our neighbor, who I suspect is hearing impaired because of the loud TV that I would hear when I’m at our garage, didn’t turn their TV on for a number of days…until the return of TV Patrol on DZMM Teleradyo, available in ABS-CBN’s DTT blackbox. For a few hours a day, our kasambahay and our neighbors would voraciously watch the news, happy that at least for a few hours a day, they think their favorite channel is back on air.
You can imagine how enthralled and excited they were when they learned about the launching of the Kapamilya Channel. When they talked to me about it, they felt reunited with their favorite Cardo Dalisay and other iconic Kapamilya teleserye characters.
Kapamilya Channel is available on SKY, Cablelink, G Sat, and most member-cable operators of the Philippine Cable Television Association nationwide.
While Kapamilya Channel will initially be seen by cable and satellite TV viewers only, ABS-CBN will find more ways to reach more Filipinos and bring news, public service, and entertainment to every Kapamilya around the world.
Viewers can watch Cardo’s adventures in FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano starting with a 10-episode recap of this season’s story before the new episodes are released. The top-rating action packed show is also being mirrored on the Cinemo channel. Also on weeknights, the mission of brave soldiers in A Soldier’s Heart continues, while weekdays unveils the family drama in Love Thy Woman.
Magandang Buhay momshies Jolina Magdangal, Melai Cantiveros and Karla Estrada continue their heartwarming discussions on weekday mornings, while the new season of The Voice Teens features talented teen singers and superstar coaches Apl.de.ap, Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo and Lea Salonga on weekends.
Viewers will surely rejoice because their favorite show is back as It’s Showtime goes live every 12 noon, from Mondays to Saturdays. Since its launch, the noontime show is also being mirrored on Jeepney TV.
Besides the many well-loved programs that will be going back on air, some new shows have been launched.
Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo is now seen every Saturday in the new show Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan, while Angel Locsin hosts Iba ’Yan every Sunday. Both of these are public service programs.
The World of a Married Couple, the highest-rating cable Koreanovela, also made its debut on Kapamilya Channel.
Filipinos from all over the world, meanwhile, will not be left out because they will be able to watch all Filipino programs on Kapamilya Channel, including the new episodes, on TFC.
Meanwhile, if you only have an ABS-CBN TV Plus box, starting this weekend Paano Kita Pasasalamatan, The Voice Teens, ASAP, Iba ’Yan, Love Thy Woman, The World of a Married Couple, A Solider’s Heart and FPJ’s Ang Probisnyano will also be mirrored on Jeepney TV.
