Ang Inyong Mga Paboritong Artista, May Bagong Tahanan sa TV5

Ang programming partner and major block timer ng TV5, Cignal TV,  ay nagdadagdag ng mga bago at pamilyar na mga talento para magdagdag kulay at saya sa current talent roster. Ang mga magbibida sa mga bagong programa na ipapalabas ay ang mga bigating artista gaya nina Piolo Pascual, Korina Sanchez, Aga Muhlach, Ian Veneracion, Billy Crawford, Matteo Guidicelli, Maja Salvador, Sue Ramirez, Dimples Romana, Alex Gonzaga, at Catriona Gray. 

“TV5 has something for everybody. We aim to deliver a fresh new perspective at how audiences enjoy the network’s entertainment, news and sports programs,” ani ni Robert P. Galang, ang Cignal TV and TV5 President and CEO. “The new program line-up does not only set the bar higher for innovativeness and production values but also reinforces TV5’s vision to become a formidable force in Philippine television as it continues to challenge traditional programming standards and reinvigorate the network’s adaptability to survive and thrive in this pandemic and beyond,” dagdag pa nito. 

Ang balita ng pakikipagsosyo ng TV5 sa mga block timers ay lumabas matapos magdeklara ng imbitasyon ang Cignal at TV5 Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan, "We are revving up our entertainment content creation and will need creatives, talents, directors, scriptwriters, cameramen, etc.," ibinahagi ng Chairman noong Agosto. Ayon sa Chairman, bukas ang pinto ng Cignal TV & TV5’s para sa mga manggagawang nawalan ng trabaho sa entertainment industry; isang malinaw na pagpapakita na ang prioridad ng network ay ang magbigay ng tulong at mapanatili ang mga tao sa gitna ng pandemya. 

Isa sa mga pinakabagong block time partners, Brightlight Productions, na ipapalabas ang mga bagong shows sa TV5 simula Oktubre 18. Presidente at CEO ng Brightlight Productions, former Rep. Albee Benitez, hinihimok ang mga network na magkaisa, sharing na “it’s time that all of us should work together. Right now, I don’t think there should be a network war.” Binanggit rin nya na ang mga artista ay dapat bigyan ng flexibility at dapat payagan na magtrabaho kung saan available.  “I think that should be our landscape moving forward,” he concluded.  

Nauna ng inilunsad ng Archangel Media ang mga programa nila at inilahad ng kanilang Presidente na si Michael Tuviera na “We at Archangel Media are absolutely honored to be working in partnership with Cignal TV and TV5. With the uncertainty that is clouding our industry and the whole world right now, it is so encouraging to collaborate with other like-minded individuals and groups who share the same goals as we do. We all want to create more jobs out there for our hard-working brethren in the industry. We all want to create content that will not only entertain but provoke and inspire as well. We all want to help make our industry, our country, and our world, a better place than it was yesterday.”

Kasama ang Cignal TV at TV5, ipinagmamalaki ng Archangel Media na ipagpatuloy ang inaasahang pagbabago sa panahon ng Philippine television, kung saan inuuna ang pagkakaisa at pakikipagtulungan, kung saan ang focus ay ang audience na nanonood at nakikinig sa ating mga kwentong ibinabahagi at kung saan tulad ng dati - Content is King. 

Binanggit ng President at COO ng Viva, Vincent del Rosario, isa sa may pinakamatagal na partnership with Cignal TV, na “We’re very happy that Viva’s partnership with Cignal and TV5 has been going strong, given that our joint venture company, SSNI, is now on it’s 5th year.  I guess what makes it fun working with the group is the collaborative nature of the relationship where each side has an equal say on the creative direction to take in every project. As for the effect that this will bring to the industry, we believe that this will not only bring some parity in the network wars, but will also open more job opportunities for the artists and the creative and production communities.”

Sa patuloy na pakikipagsosyo at pakikipagtulungan ng Cignal TV, sinisigurado ng TV5 na mas magiging bigger at better -BER months ang ihahatid sa manonood sa huling quarter ng taon. Sa mga bagong programa at bagong stars na sasali, tiyak na marami dapat abangan. Ilan sa mga sikat at naglalakihang pangalan sa industriya ng entertainment ang nagbahagi ng kanilang pasasalamat na muling makapagtrabaho na siyang nagpapatunay na na ang buhay ay tunay na mas maliwanag kapag tayo ay nagkakaisa upang maisakatuparan ang isang misyon: upang magbigay ng pag-asa, excitement at inspirasyon sa mga Pilipino.

Ang pinaka-layunin ay pag-isahin ang mga Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay sa kanila ng nangungunang entertainment na kanilang na maari nilang asahan.
