Fake News Alerts – January 7, 2024

We’re back from posting several alerts against Fake News Posts in terms of Philippine Television and Radio – after our New Year’s Break and our Retrospective 2023 Multimedia Content Edition publishings! And speaking of this return, you should beware of these FAKE NEWS that you should beware of. These fake news posts are taken during our break period. Please beware of these posts.

A Facebook Comment from “Renzo” has posted (now deleted as of the time being) on a Facebook Post of Jeff Oli Gar TV’s Alt Page regarding the December 30, 2023’s listings of “Dyis Is It” on MOR Entertainment. In the said comment from Renzo, he claimed that the said radio program will also be aired on 101.9 FM under the name “Trip FM”.

OUR VERDICT: FALSE.
This comment is FAKE and HOAX – 101.9 MHz on the FM Band in Mega Manila was not utilized at the moment, with ABS-CBN has no such news that they will be returning their FM Radio Broadcasts on the said FM Frequency Band. There is also no such news from MOR Entertainment that their radio programs will also be heard on-air, as well as there is no “Trip FM” on the actual radio broadcasts as of today. Thus, this news is FALSE and MISLEADING.

The only truth is, MOR Entertainment can only be heard online exclusively via the AlTo App, available for download on Google Play and App Store.

A Facebook Post from the same user as the previous one, was published on a Facebook Group, claiming that It’s Showtime, will air it’s final broadcast by May 3, 2024. There is also a claim from the said user claiming that after that date, it shall be replaced with the return of MTB (Magandang Tanghali Bayan).

OUR VERDICT: FALSE.
There is no such news from ABS-CBN, ABS-CBN PR, and It’s Showtime that the said noontime variety show from the said network that will air it’s final broadcast by May 3, 2024, as well as the replacement to MTB on the following day. Thus, this is FALSE and MISLEADING. At the moment, you can still enjoy this noontime show on Weekdays at 11h30 and Saturdays at 12h00, on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, Jeepney TV, GTV, iWantTFC and TFC IPTVOD.

A Facebook Post from the same user as the previous one, was published on a Facebook Group, claiming that your favorite Kapamilya Shows and Series on TV5, will no longer be broadcast within the effect of February 18, 2024.
​
OUR VERDICT: FALSE.
There is no such news from ABS-CBN, ABS-CBN PR, and TV5 that your favorite Kapamilya Shows and Series, including FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, Can’t Buy Me Love, Senior High (on it’s final ten episodes), Pira-Pirasong Paraiso (on it’s final fifteen episodes), Nag-Aapoy Na Damdamin (on it’s final fifteen episodes), ASAP Natin To, Everybody Sing!, and among others, will no longer be broadcast on TV5 by February 18, 2024. Thus, this is FALSE and MISLEADING.

If you love these shows we’ve mentioned, you can still do so by tuning to TV5 (whether you’re on Terrestrial or on Pay TV) to enjoy some of your favorite Kapamilya Shows and Series. It is also available on A2Z, Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, and other ABS-CBN and CPI-owned channels as well.
