IS WILLIE BECOMING A HEADACHE OF TV5?

Bigla na lamang nagbiro si Willie Revillame sa kanyang noontime show sa TV5, ang Wowowillie, kahapon, February 20, na kapag naputol daw sila sa ere ay baka hindi na raw siya papasok.

Ang tinutukoy ni Willie na maputol ay yung pag hindi pa tapos ang programa ay hindi na makabalik sa ere during commercial break at kasunod na programa na ang mapapanood, o kaya sa kalagitnaan ng mga huling bahagi ng isang show ay bigla na lang itong puputulin para maipalabas na ang kasunod na programa.

Matatandaang sa ulat ng PEP noong Lunes, February 18, sinagot ng TV5 entertainment head na si Perci Intalan ang tungkol sa timeslot issue ng Wowowillie na kadalasan ay nag-o-overtime at nasasagasaan ang ibang programa, katulad ng T3 at Aksyon.

The respondents will avail themselves of all legal remedies to question the findings of probable cause for the arrest warrants issued by the RTC of Quezon City.

Broadcast company GMA Network filed a petition for certiorari with a prayer for the issuance of a temporary restraining order and/or a writ of preliminary injunction with the Supreme Court to declare null and void the controversial provisions of the Commission on Elections’ (COMELEC) Resolution No. 9615, and to enjoin the latter from implementing such provisions during the 2013 national and local elections.

This stemmed from the decision of the COMELEC to stand by its new airtime allotment rule despite the Network’s earlier appeal to seek clarification, and pray for the recall and modification of the said resolution, as well as the re-application of the per station airtime limits observed during past elections.
