ALLTV Starts Broadcast With All Star Event

ALLTV started their broadcast operations with a bang with a stellar lineup of stars last September 13 in the evening. Viewers were treated with their favorite Wowowin filled with artist appearances, song and dance numbers, plus the insane games, hosting banter that Willie Revillame is known for. Aside from that, they also featured Toni Gonzaga's interview with Bongbong Marcos which was exclusively shown in the new channel.

 

Ceremonies started at 12 noon and lasted the whole day with AMBS Executives, Toni's pilot show, and Willie Revillame's antics flexing his comedy program bringing entertainment to thirsty viewers. How big was the event? Let's just say they gave out two units of houses from BRIA and Lumina Homes on Wowowin. They also gave away cash prizes, big prizes every hour to make sure TV viewing would be fun all over again with ALLTV.

AMBS President Ms. Maribeth Tolentino says "Our new channel is for the Filipino and what we want to happen is keep them entertained and happy. This is why we've prepared huge shows just for you. Rest assured, we'll have new progams to change your TV viewing experience wth ALLTV."

 

AMBS is under Prime Assets Ventures Inc. of Manuel Paolo Villar, under the auspices of the Villar Group of companies. As of today, the personalities that joined AMBS include Willie Revillame, Toni Gonzaga, her husband Paul Soriano, Ciara Sotto, and Mariel Rodriguez. There are some photos that surfaced today that included Julia Baretto, but we haven't had any confirmation as of this writing. Aside from that, there's now a partnership with CNN Philippines to manage their nightly news program that will be done on primetime. 

 

They are now live on free to air TV, scan your digibox also to get their channel. They are also on Cignal and other cable operators, so make sure you re-scan to see the new shows. 

CIARA SOTTO Gets Signed with Villar Owned AMBS2's ALLTV

Former teen star, spirited singer, exceptional dancer, noontime show host and showbiz royalty Ciara Sotto just got signed with new TV network ALLTV. This is under Advanced Media Broadcast System operating the Channel 2 frequency owned by the Villar Group.

She's part of the throng of artists signed last September 8th at the Mella Hotel in Las Pinas City. The event was witnessed and attended by current AMBS President Ms. Maribeth Tolentino, AMBS Chief Financial Officer Maryknoll Tolentino and AMBS General Counsel Atty. TJ Mendoza. Recent personalities who joined AMBS include Willie Revillame, Toni Gonzaga, Paul Soriano and Anthony Taberna.

Ciara says "I'm happy to join the line of talents of AMBS. I'm quite excited to work with you, and surely will do my best. I promise I'll be very easy to work with and grateful to get the chance to work with you all."

Aside from Ciara joiing AMBS, they also have partnerships with CNN Philippines. This will enhance not just the entertainment content that ALLTV aims to provide, but also their news and current affairs/public service programs in the near future. They are starting off with News Night which will air on pre primetime slots.

ALLTV will air on Channel 2 on Planet Cable and free TV. They will also broadcast through Channel 16 on digital boxes, Channel 35 on Cignal and local cable. Ciara will surely be flexing her hosting skills and we're going to see her in future shows on the new channel.

Villar Group's AMBS Prepares Broadcast Operations

Villar's Advanced Media Broadcasting System who now holds Channel 2's frequency has made significant moves this month. September 1st marks the day of two Sorianos joining the network's lineup of stars. Host, singer and actress Toni Gonzaga and her husband Director Paul Soriano formalized their ties with the new channel.

The event was witnessed by AMBS President Maribeth Tolentino, Manuel Paolo Villar of Prime Asset Ventures together with other celebrity guests at Mella Hotel in Las Piñas City. Villar says "We are reiterating our commitment to elevate TV viewing for pinoys starting with quality programs and even more exciting TV shows bringing entertainment to Filipino homes."

Ms. Tolentino added "We are ready to give our viewers worthy shows to look forward to. We are ecstatic about our plans with Toni Gonzaga and Paul Soriano." This includes a more in depth talk show which they say Toni will be hosting (probably much like Toni Talks which she does on YT but done on TV).

This is the Villar Group's foray into the broadcast industry. They have other businesses in housing, retail and utilities. They also have signed Willie Revillame who's doing Wowowin in the same station. This is just the tip of the iceberg, stand by for more information about talent acquisitions in the next few weeks. Heard they will also be calling it ALL TV as seen on some Wowowin socials as of publishing.

Gilas Road to Glory: Philippines VS Iran on TV5

It's a tall order, but someone's got to do it. This June 8 at 7pm, be one with the whole nation as team Gilas Pilipinas battles it out with team Iran in our road to glory for the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament. Getting this goal would eventually secure us with a slot to the Rio Olympics. They're already doing the legwork now as most of our Gilas players and Andre Blache undergo strict world class training under Coach Baldwin who made us take those necessary steps to become one of the strongest teams in Asia!

Road To Glory will officially happen on Junr 8 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and will be televised live on the happiest network in the country TV5. We're one of the few teams that are up to be able to beat Iran as it was earlier proven possible in the FIBA Asia Championships. That close game, was certainly not the story they were actually expecting because in a nutshell, IRAN has ranked higher in the world and has been consistently playing in the Olympics for quite some time. If we've been able to give them a scary Finals round even if we're not in our own turf, that's going to be another story this time around. The Olympic Qualifying Tournaments will be happening in our own land, which means Gilas Pilipinas will have one more advantage, the Filipino people and the heart of a country that's stronger because it all happens right here in our turf. It gives the Philippines no space to prove itself, but a moment to be proud, be the 6th man and conquer even BIGGER opponents that we have ever met to get to Brazil.

There will also be tune up games versus Turkey come July 1 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Turkey along with other countries like Canada, Senegal, France and New Zealand will be here for the games abd we'll be expecting more world class games happening in the next few weeks. You should get tickets now through Ticketnet 911-5555 or their website www.ticketnet.com.ph. Never miss the action on TV5 and sports5.ph because it is all going to be there. Bring your heart to these games!

The Eve of Digital TV: ABS-CBN TVplus

It looks like ABSCBN is serious when they said it will conquer broadcasting this year. They just came out with ABSCBN TVplus, a service that will completely transform your TV viewing experience providing crystal clear pictures, crisp sound with free exclusive channels on top of the regular ones on full digital transmission. They fondly call this "mahiwagang black box" or "magic black box" and is often compared to seeing clear DVD like videos surpassing current quality aired on regular free TV.

February 11 marked the eve of digital television age in the country as ABSCBN Chairman Eugenio Lopez III and CEO Charo Santos Concio switched ON the service in simple ceremonies at ABSCBN Center Road in Quezon City. One time payment of Php 2,500.00 and you're all set! It's going to be available in major cities in the Philippines and soon nationwide! 

There's no monthly fee, no installation fee, it's a game changer for television innovation. New exclusive channels such as CineMo (which will contain movies all day!), Yey! (all day kid entertainment), Knowledge channel (education 24/7), DZMM Teleradyo (ABSCBN Radio based news) and more!

Current digital signals are now in Metro Manila, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Benguet and Metro Cebu. It can work with almost all TV sets as long as it has audio video inputs compatible with it (RCA), so there's really no excuse!

You can buy them off ABSCBN Store, ABSCBN Mobile Store, SM Appliance Centers, 2Go Express, Solid Service Center, Villman, Silicon Valley and more electronic appliance and hardware stores soon! There will also be TVplus sales agents goong house to house, or via www.abs-cbnstore.com or call 024888888 and 1800104888888 (if you are outside Metro Manila) or simply send a text message to 23661. They will deliver it free too via LBC and 2Go as long as there's digital coverage in your area!

Don't go for other boxes because you won't have those exclusive channels and the warranty for services. It only will be available for digital broadcast channels so if it's not being used by other networks, you won't see it when you use the "Magic Black Box!" You have to remember that because they have to invest quite an amount to follow that standard set by the NTC.
