Viva-TV on IBC sa bagong TV ratings

WITH its the newest reality show called P-POP Star Hunt having its pilot this Saturday, Viva-TV makes a splash in the local scene this month.

This Saturday night reality program seeks to discover a top model out of 14 participants gleaned from more than 3,000 girls who auditioned. This show can be most revealing, as Ruffa and judge Wilma Doesnt point out – it’s not looks alone which makes a model.

Started with Daily Top 10, an hour-long round up of the each day’s ten most requested OPM TV videos hosted by VJ Sam Pinto airs on Modnay to Friday at 5:30 p.m., to competes with teleserye My Daddy Dearest (Ch. 7) and Aryanna (Ch. 2).

Premieres on July 2, there’s Estudyante Blues, a series about three different brothers portrayed by Richard Gutierrez, IC Mendoza and Onemig Bondoc. Tonight, Estuyante Blues makes its first airing. The cast also includes Andi Eigenmann, Raymond Gutierrez and Princess Velasco. Showtime is 9:30 p.m.

On Sundays at 12 noon, the first reality dating show with a strict Momma giving challenges to girl-participants. Dennis Padilla hosts this one.

Then on Mondays, Bayani Agbayani is "the bagong ilaw ng tahanan", as he keeps house and minds the kids in Kemis: Ke Misis Umaasa. He’s the houseband while his misis (Cherie Gil) is abroad at work.

In the cast too are Pauleen Luna, Kiray Celis, Gary Lim and James Blanco.

With the help of Viva Entertainment, IBC-13 comes up with new and exciting programming. They also feature some first-ever teleserye Esperanza at 9 p.m. starring Cristine Reyes plus the Korean asianovelas Dream High (Season 2) at 10:30 p.m. and Can You Hear with My Heart at 11 p.m. from Monday to Friday and the neewest variety show I Am Sarah on Sundays, at 8 p.m. with popstar princess Sarah Geronimo.

With this development on Viva-TV on IBC, we hope that local TV scene is enlivened beyond a three-network world. Just a thought, if a network has a consistent 30 or 45 percent of ratings, it will already rank No. 4 to GMA 7, ABS-CBN and TV5 in their ratings.
