To reach out to all viewers of ABS-CBN’s well-loved shows regarding the move from TV5 to ALLTV2, effective January 2, 2026 (Friday), we’ve shared some important considerations for the programming changes on these affected channels from that date.
December 27, 2025, to January 1, 2026: TV5’s last airing day of ABS-CBN Shows (several dates)
This will be the last day to air the following ABS-CBN Shows on TV5.
- December 27, 2025: Your Face Sounds Familiar (Saturday)
- December 28, 2025: ASAP, Your Face Sounds Familiar (Sunday)
- January 1, 2026: FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, Roja, What Lies Beneath, and Go Ahead.
Note: The following ABS-CBN shows will not be affected by this change, as they are seen on A2Z and ALLTV2, and/or GMA: Magandang Buhay, It’s Showtime (also on GMA), Lavender Fields (rerun), Senior High (rerun), TV Patrol Express, Kapamilya Deal or No Deal (rerun), TV Patrol, Rainbow Rumble, Rated Korina, TV Patrol Weekend, and many others.
January 2, 2026: ABS-CBN Shows on TV5 are no longer seen on that channel, effective this date.
Viewers who continue to tune in to the TV5 channel will see the following programs, as announced recently on their social media accounts (under the “TodoMAX – Primetime Singko” block, airing on weekdays):
- 17:30 – Una Sa Lahat (news)
- 18:00 – Frontline Pilipinas (news)
- 19:30 – Carlo J. Caparas’ Totoy Bato (drama)
- 20:30 – CineCinco Primetime (movies)
- 22:30 – Frontline Tonight (news)
- 23:30 – Vibe Nights (entertainment)
In summary: Once the ABS-CBN Shows are no longer shown on TV5, beginning January 2, 2026, if they continue to watch TV5, or if they are a solid “Kapatid” viewer, they will watch News5’s newscasts, Una Sa Lahat at 17:30, followed by Frontline Pilipinas at 18:00 – 30 minutes longer than the previous 60-minute airing time. After this, viewers will get entertained with Viva Entertainment’s TV Series, Totoy Bato, on its new timeslot at 19:30, followed by a new movie block called “CineCinco Primetime” at 20:30.
Timeslot change: Frontline Pilipinas will be extended by another 30 minutes from the previous 60 minutes (90 minutes in total). For the former timeslots allocated to ABS-CBN shows, the first 30 minutes of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo on TV5 will be occupied by the last 30 minutes of Totoy Bato (as it moved to a new timeslot of 19:30), while CineCinco Primetime will be occupied by the last 15 minutes of Batang Quiapo, and the whole timeslot of Roja, What Lies Beneath, and Go Ahead. The timeslots allocated for the rest of the shows, i.e., Una Sa Lahat, Frontline Tonight, and Vibe Nights, will not be affected by this change on weekdays, post-ABS-CBN affiliation.
Viewers who are interested in continuing to watch ABS-CBN shows on TV5 after the last airing day of January 1, 2026 must switch to either ALLTV2 or A2Z on over-the-air broadcasts, or if they have internet or pay TV subscription, they can watch them on Kapamilya Channel (pay TV and on iWant) and Kapamilya Online Live (on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube and Facebook accounts), as well as other ABS-CBN’s pay TV channels (i.e., Jeepney TV, ABS-CBN News Channel, or DZMM Teleradyo), while It’s Showtime is also seen on GMA as well. Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 is also airing on GMA, for those who want to support the current 14 housemates who are staying inside.
