Why in Late Night?

Most Filipinos have Interest in these TV Documentaries, but there is one tiny problem why even though these programmes are so award-winning yet little Filipinos can see it… It is shown after 12:30 midnight! I still wonder why the hell they shown it at that time… If you have compare our programming from the United States and to the United Kingdom, we are very far apart. Dateline NBC is being shown in the evening and that is the reason why it is popular, especially their “Catching a Predator” series and it is also the same with the Panorama from BBC One, which is now the longest-running investigative programme on television.

I guess one of the reasons why is because both channels, ABS-CBN and GMA, care too much of their fancy teledramas, both local dramas and the foreign asian dramas. Most of the people, including the teachers and other professionals, are usually referring to these TV documentaries which sometimes say is very relevant but having a problem because it is shown past their bedtime. Well it the fact is, thes eprogrammes has always been shown here late-nights but the problem is it’s moving constantly… from 22:00 it has been moved to past 23:00 but because of squashing another news bulletin it had been moved again to past 23:45 and again these two channels had been squashed by another tv series or reality tv or comedy programmes, it has been on it’s present location… past 24:10. Which I think is very unwatchable and a bunch of baloney.

Although ABS-CBN had tried to make some changes, by moving their late-newscast to evening. But the problem on their part at the very moment is their programming are just very squashed, after finishing their primetime news, TV Patrol, at 19:45, their TV dramas (as of the moment I think are 5) and their so-called Reality TV (I don’t believe that they are really “Real,” and those exposure-hungry so-called people just wanted to be as popular as Sharon Cuneta or Ogie Alcasid, it’s like pre-planned by those power and money-hungry administrators) and so the result is istead of those evening newscast being shown at 22:30, what happened in reality is the so-called evening newscast is being shown between 23:30 to 23:50 and moving these relevant TV series at a very late-night.

The only good thing about ABS-CBN’s programming is it is being shown (for many times) on their so-called News Channel, the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC), but how about GMA? If you are lucky, then you can buy their DVD during their road or cinema tours during their anniversaries which they do 5 times and sometimes are too old and not that relevant anymore… Bunch of B.S.

I believe that there should be some changes in the TV programming especially those 2 major TV channels here in the Philippines, One of my suggestions could be Why not make these TV dramas as a weekly programme, just like the US? Why not limit programme that are shown on a particular timeblock? Because I think only the Philippines can squash 6 programmes in 6 programmes that has a duration of almost 45 minutes! And that’s why I prefer Non-Terrestrial TV programming, even if it doesn’t relate to the thing that happen in the Philippines (well excluding Al Jazeera, they are the only one that shows some things from the Philippines and other countries).

Another Idea… LIMIT THE TIME ON THOSE STUPID SHOWBIZ NEWS! Philippines is not the USA and we shouldn’t copy them, and those programmes are far worst than Heidi Montag’s Music Video… Bunch of Crap, Bulls*** and just plain dirty, contradicting the belief of the people of Anak TV Awards. Take those programmes of and purt some quality programming in Primetime… now!
