Two weeks prior to its pilot episode, excitement is already running high for millions of Filipinos who long for Willie Revillame’s return to daytime. Kuya Wil (as they casll him) dominated Pinoy noontime TV for years until he transferred to TV5 where he changed the shape of primetime with “Wil Time Bigtime.”
“Wowowillie” starts this Saturday (January 26) from 11:30AM to 2:30PM with a three-hour spectacle of fun and prizes awaits viewers. Coinciding with Kuya Wil’s 52nd birthday on Sunday, what awaits audiences is another big TV special showcasing over 70 stars and performers and big prizes to celebrate his return to daytime.
TV5 teams up with Wil Productions in raising the bar in noontime viewing with a new show for Filipinos here and in any of the 79 countries and territories reached by global channel Kapatid TV5.
“We’re very excited to bring Wowowillie to every household because this is TV5’s first daily noontime variety show. The management feels that the Network is ready to field Wowowillie in the noontime slot in our mission to provide our daytime viewers more options,” said Perci Intalan, TV5’s first vice president for Creative and Entertainment Production.
The upcoming daily noontime show will introduce new segment formats that will bring fun and excitement to daytime in its new home, the Wowowillie Theater along Quezon Avenue. Once built, the studio is expected to house 1,100 guests coming from different parts of the Philippines with its location that is better accessible to public transportation.
The charismatic host will be joined by Mariel Rodriguez, Grace Lee and Camille Villar in the new daily noontime show. Kuya Wil also introduces TV5 princess Arci Munoz, Ava Jugueta of PYT (Pretty Young Thing), sexy comedienne Ethel Booba and show mainstay Lovely Abella to complete the hosts’ line-up.
