10:00 pm - Sunday's Best NOTE: Kapamilya Channel can be seen on ABS-CBN TV Plus Channel 6, GMA Affordabox Boxes, Sky Cable/Destiny Cable Channel 8 (SD) and Channel 167 (HD), Cablelink Channel 8, G-Sat/Sky Direct Channel 22, Cignal/Satlite Channel 22 and other cable and satellite providers nationwide.

• Season 2 of CASA DAZA highlights the Philippines’ regional best—Sandy will show us how to cook like a true Ilocano, Bicolano, Batangueno, Cebuano and Ilonggo with authentic recipes and secret cooking techniques taught to him by the gatekeepers of the recipes in kitchens near and far in a 30-minute weekly episode on Metro TV.
• On YouTube, shows will stream from 7:40 a.m. While Facebook users can watch shows on their regular time slots “with scheduled breaks between time blocks,” according to a press release.

ABS-CBN’s failure to renew its broadcast franchise may have stopped it from showing its programs on free TV but it didn’t stop the embattled network from airing its programs online, doubling down on its online presence via Facebook and YouTube.

Called Kapamilya Online Live, the network started streaming its programs live on the ABS-CBN Facebook and YouTube pages on Aug. 1 and can be accessed for free (although it will need a stable internet connection for it to work as intended).

Earlier, on June 13, the network launched the Kapamilya Channel, a pay TV channel featuring the network’s shows on its subsidiary cable network, Sky Cable (ch. 8 digital and ch.167 HD).

The live stream will include a selection of current and classic shows. On YouTube, shows will stream from 7:40 a.m. to 10 p.m. while Facebook users can watch shows on their regular time slots “with scheduled breaks between time blocks,” according to a press release. Shows on both platforms will only be available in the Philippines — overseas viewers can watch the shows via The Filipino Channel.

“Kapamilya Online Live is the newest home of ABS-CBN’s well-loved shows that Filipinos miss watching on TV. Our bond with our Kapamilya is unbreakable, and we will continue finding ways to be with them and provide entertainment to Filipinos despite the non-renewal of our broadcast franchise,” said Cory Vidanes, ABS-CBN’s chief operating officer of broadcast, in the release.

The weekday slate includes Magandang Buhay, Magpahanggang Wakas, and MMK (Maalaala Mo Kaya) in its morning block, and It’s Showtime, Love Thy Woman, and The General’s Daughter in the afternoon block. Kapamilya Online Live will be streaming older FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano episodes for its first three weeks before new episodes will be released in the fourth week.

Other primetime shows are 100 Days to Heaven, Forevermore, Los Bastardos, and A Soldier’s Heart.

On Saturdays, the morning lineup will feature Halik and It’s Showtime followed by Wansapanataym Presents and I Feel U in the afternoon, and Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan and It’s Showtime sa Primetime in the evening.

Sunday programming, meanwhile, will include Pangako Sa ‘Yo, ASAP Natin ‘To, and Ipaglaban Mo in the morning and Iba ‘Yan and Be Careful With My Heart in the evening.

The ABS-CBN news shows TV Patrol and The World Tonight can be viewed on the ABS-CBN News’ YouTube channel and Facebook page.

Aside from ABS-CBN’s regular shows, its streaming service iWant is also currently streaming the Imelda Marcos documentary The Kingmaker by Lauren Greenfield among other shows and films from ABS-CBN Film Restoration and Star Cinema.

Kapamilya Online Live is available on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/abscbnentertainment) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ABSCBNnetwork). For the complete programming schedule, visitkapamilyaonlinelive.com. — Zsarlene B. Chua

KAMI learned that in an Instagram post, the entertainment columnist praised the noontime programs for showing good performance on the marketing aspect.

Manay Lolit even became optimistic regarding local shows and hoped that someday, people will patronize Philippine entertainment.

“Wow Salve! Napagod ako sa kalilipat ng channel ha, talagang binantayan ko iyon 3 sunday show. Happy ako na puno ng commercials ang bagong show ng TV5 na produced ng BrightLight ni Papa Albee Benitez, isang good sign na maganda ang sales ng marketing nila. Grabe din ang siksikan ng commercial sa ASAP , at pagdating sa stars at singers , parang inilagay na lahat sa ASAP ha. Ang talaga lang napatunayan ko iyon captive audience na loyal talaga sa kanila , sa mismong network na para bang alam lang na channel ay iyon nakasanayan nila, iyon mga kasama ko sa bahay na hindi talaga lumipat at tutok sa GMA7, at sa paborito nilang si Alden Richards.

Talagang iyon tv watching is a habit hard to break, kaya nga iyon loyalista ng 2 at 7 iyon parin , at ang kukunin ng 5 iyon mga walk in new televiewers o hindi naging loyal sa dalawang istasyon. Sana nga maging 3rd strong force ang TV5 at mawala ang hilig ng mga bagong viewers ngayon sa Netflix at iba pang platforms ng entertaintment, sana nga sa ganda ng mga bagong shows at nabuhay na competition mas dumami na ang mahilig sa panunuod ng local shows. Patronize our shows , bigyan buhay ang ating showbiz industry. Kailangan nito ang suporta.”
