P.O.5 |
Sunday Noontime Live! is a Philippine musical variety show broadcast by TV5 which premiered on October 18, 2020. Sunday Noontime Live! was presented by a lineup of ABS-CBN, Star Magic and Cornerstone Entertainment talents led by Piolo Pascual, Maja Salvador, Catriona Gray, Donny Pangilinan, Ricci Rivero and Jake Ejercito.[1]
The program, which aired on the network's Sunday afternoon block at 12 noon preceding I Got You, is produced by Brightlight Productions under producer Albee Benitez and line produced by Cornerstone Studios as a blocktimer on TV5.[2] Veteran television director and former Star Magic head Johnny Manahan takes the helm as director, following his longtime stint directing the longest-running Sunday variety show ASAP for over 25 years.[3]
Sunday Noontime Live! marks the return of a Sunday musical variety show on TV5 after more than four years since the end of Happy Truck ng Bayan and a decade after the launch of the pioneering P.O.5. However, unlike the other two shows, Sunday Noontime Live! was not produced by TV5 and only aired on the network as a blocktimer.
However, after just three months on air, the show, along with Sunday 'Kada aired their final episodes due to low ratings and high production costs. Its timeslot was later filled by a simulcast of ASAP.
History
Following the shutdown and franchise denial of ABS-CBN, it was reported on September 14, 2020 that Piolo Pascual, Catriona Gray and Lani Misalucha are set to host a musical variety show to be directed by Johnny Manahan with a working title of Live at Five: Ultimate Sunday Party, after Brightlight Productions signed a blocktime agreement with TV5.[4]
On September 22, 2020, Maja Salvador revealed that she will be joining the show as one of the main hosts. Contrary to earlier reports, Misalucha was not included in the final cast of the show.[5]
On October 1, 2020, it was revealed that Donny Pangilinan and Jake Ejercito joined the show to complete the main hosts of the program. Also, the show was later retitled to its final title of Sunday Noontime Live![6]
The show aired its first episode on October 18, 2020. It marked the comeback of having a Sunday musical variety show on TV5 after four years, however, unlike the previous shows, Sunday Noontime Live was not produced by TV5 themselves and aired only through a blocktime agreement between Brightlight Productions and TV5.
On November 15, 2020, the show's second live episode was unable to go live due to technical difficulties, Instead, a replay of the second episode (#SNLAllOverTheWorld) was aired instead. The supposed episode would later be aired on the following week as a pre-taped episode.[7]
On January 3, 2021, Donny Pangilinan left the show to focus on Kapamilya projects, including He's Into Her. Ricci Rivero would later be promoted to main host to replace him.[8][9]
However, after three months on air, it was revealed that Sunday Noontime Live! would air its final episode due to a lack of advertisers and sponsorships which resulted to a loss of their budget to pay the blocktime agreement with TV5, despite already having planned its rehearsals, tapings and live episode for its supposed second season.[10] The show aired its last episode on January 17, 2021, being a replay of several past prods from the past few episodes. After the show ended, its vacated timeslot was filled by a simulcast of ASAP.[11]
Eventually, following its end, some of the show's performers and hosts, namely, Donny Pangilinan, KD Estrada, Maris Racal, Sam Mangubat, Fana and Zephanie (later transferred to GMA Network in 2022) have returned to ASAP.
Broadcast
The show aired every Sunday at 12:00 noon Philippine Standard Time until 2:00 PM Philippine Standard Time.
As the show was held during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, the show never admitted a live studio audience, and implemented safety precautions for the cast and crew involved in the program during tapings/live stagings. Also, a lock-in taping was entailed to produce a month worth of episodes, with only the episode during the lock-in taping cycle being staged live from Studio 72 itself.
The show aired its final episode on January 17, 2021, being a replay of several prods from the past few episodes, together with Sunday 'Kada. A simulcast of ASAP filled its timeslot.[12]
