| Viva Television Corporation
(VTV) - To push its software across another medium, Viva
ventured into television production in 1986 thru local filmdom’s
hottest property - Ms. Sharon Cuneta (the Mega Star). Her big screen
success easily fueled her musical variety TV show to the top of the
ratings where it stayed until mid-1997 (when she semi-retired).
Since then, Viva’s television unit had branched out into drama anthologies, action features, and comedy fare for teens and yuppies. It is now a significant player among free TV blocktimers and has successfully spun off theatrical versions of its more popular youth-oriented shows. In the year 2000, VTV set Philippine television ablaze when it pioneered the “game show” segment. These 2 shows were “WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE” hosted by Mr. Christopher de Leon and “THE WEAKEST LINK” hosted by Edu Manzano. Viva’s pioneering success in these 2 game shows spawned the
emergence of the game show genre across the major free TV stations
in the Philippines. |
