New shows from IBC 13

June 2, 2000 (Philippine Daily Inquirer, page 33)

IN AN ENHANCED contract with Viva Television, formerly Vintage Television, the country's No. 3 network IBC 13 reacquires several primetime hours to boost its programming. Among the slots regained are: Monday, 7-9 p.m.; Tuesday, 8-9 p.m.; and 11 p.m. to 12 midnight from Monday to Friday.

New shows have been lined up to fill the said slots. First to premiere on May 26, 11:30 p.m. was the late-night comedy program, Last Fool Show, topbilled by Jun Urbano and Gary Lising, with a female co-host every week. It takes the format of a talk show interspersed with comedy skits and satirical anecdotes.

Every Tuesday at 8 p.m. (since the new timeslot on April 25), the FM station of IBC 13 goes into another dimension. A first in Philippine broadcasting, 89 DMZ airs simultaneously on radio and TV via its weekly "MTV style" variety show DMZ-TV... more than just videos. It is hosted by Lara Fabregas and Medwin Marfil of True Faith. They are supported by newcomers JC Castro, Tone Wijangco and Rengie Galvez. The show is directed by Mark Reyes.

The network has also acquired non-primetime hours of its final edition newscast, Ronda Trese aired weeknights at 11 p.m. (starting May 22). The late-night newscast is anchored by Elmer Mercado and Ida Marie Castro.

The afternoon news report, IBC Express Balita (weekdays 4:30 p.m.), likewise takes on a new look now with more star value with the presence of Snooky Serna-Go as the main anchor (beginning May 22).

From the same News and Public Affairs team comes Good Take, a telemagazine show focusing on extraordinary achievements of our countrymen. Every week, the program features three achievers. It is hosted by Tintin Pizarro and Karen Cabrera and airs every Monday at 11:30 p.m. (starting May 22).

All in all, IBC has regained a total of 10 hours. Last Fool Show, DMZ-TV, Ronda Trese and Good Take are just teasers of what the network has to offer. More shows are in the planning stage.

"GOOD Take" co-hosts Tintin Pizarro and Karen Cabrera
