ABS-CBN’s flagship newscast program was reportedly returning home after a successful deal between the Kapamilya Network and Manny Villar’s AllTV.
According to the report published by Bilyonaryo, TV Patrol would return to its original timeslot starting April 15.
The deal may become the first step for ABS-CBN to return to its original channel in the future.
Some experts believe that the deal between ABS-CBN and AllTV might be the reason why Kapamilya Network is not prioritizing getting a new franchise anymore.
Meanwhile, ABS-CBN fans expressed their joy at the said reports.
“Sooner or later ABS CBN will again become the biggest network even without the franchise. Just watch how it’s entering all the networks and spreading its hold in the industry,” netizen Ronaldo said.
“Baka isang araw lahat ng show ng ABS ay pagsama samahin na sa All TV para sa isang network na lang sila makikipag collab, dati namang sa kanila yan. Syempre depende parin sa agreement nila, kung saan sila kikita ng husto,” netizen Alex remarked.
Others believed that Villar had no choice but to get content from ABS-CBN after its failed attempt to create its own shows, like Willie Revillame’s flop program Wowowin.
“Wala namang kakayahan ang mga Villar pagdating sa broadcast at entertainment industry kaya no choice sila kundi ibigay na lang ulit sa abscbn as block timer, kahit papaano kikita si Villar kesa puro palugi,” netizen Mark commented.
