Seems like TV5 is overhyping ‘Ang Panday’.
Already on its first week on air, TV5 decided to take it too far by airing not one, but two replays of ‘Ang Panday’, due to insistent public demand. In addition to the regular replays every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 2:45 p.m., it also scheduled another slate of replays (consequentially preempting some programs), which were as follows:
- Thursday, March 3 at 11:30 p.m. (preempted ‘Kaya’)
- Saturday, March 5 at 3:00 p.m. (PBA plays one out-of-town game that day)
- Saturday, March 5 at 10:30 p.m. (preempting ‘MTV Top 20 Pilipinas’)
Quite frankly, that’s a lot of replays. For a network that’s once again taking baby steps with their new partnership with VIVA, that’s not a good idea.
Starring Richard Gutierrez, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Bangs Garcia and Sam Pinto, among others, ‘Ang Panday’ airs Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. on TV5.
Other Notes: TV5 made a few changes in its schedule, the most noteworthy of which is the addition of UFC-related programming on the network. For more on these changes, visit this website.
