After only four months on air, ALLTV is reportedly discontinuing the airing of Toni Gonzaga's self-titled talk show. The program is one of the network's flagship programs that will temporarily bid farewell to the airwaves. It is unclear if the program will return.
ALLTV, the Philippine free-to-air broadcast television network, is reportedly set to temporarily suspend some of its programs. The move comes following the award of ABS-CBN frequencies to tycoon Manny Villar's Advanced Media Broadcasting System (AMBS) by the National Telecommunications Commission. The official statement regarding the matter is expected from AMBS management soon.
ALLTV, which can be seen on Channel 2, was ABS-CBN's digital channel until it was granted a new franchise by the House of Representatives. According to a report from PEP, the management has already informed the talent of ALLTV about their plans, and some of the programs have already had their final taping day. The management of the network has promised to honor their contracts and continue to pay the talent fees.
ALLTV's station-produced programs, including Toni Gonzaga's talk show "Toni," Willie Revillame's "Wowowin," and Mariel Rodriguez, Ruffa Gutierrez, and Ciara Sotto's morning show "M.O.M (Mhies On a Mission)," had a soft launch on September 13, 2022. The network had originally planned to launch in full in January 2023, but the construction of the studios in the Star Mall at the corner of EDSA and Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City has yet to be completed.
Despite this setback, ALLTV management has made sure to explain the situation to their employees, who understand the circumstances but are still saddened by the news. The network's flagship programs were some of the most highly-anticipated shows in the Philippine television scene, and their temporary suspension is a disappointment to fans.
Despite this, it is unclear at this time if and when these programs will return to the airwaves. Until then, viewers will have to wait for the official statement from AMBS management to learn more about the future of ALLTV and its programs. The network has been an important player in the Philippine television industry, and its absence will surely be felt by viewers and fans alike.
Overall, the temporary suspension of ALLTV's programs is a blow to the Philippine television industry, but it remains to be seen what the future holds for the network and its shows. Fans and viewers are hoping for the best and are eager to learn more about the situation and what the future holds for their favorite programs.
