ABS-CBN set to bring back 'Gandang Gabi Vice' on GMA
ABS-CBN has announced the return of the popular talk show 'Gandang Gabi Vice' to be aired on GMA, iWant, and the Kapamilya Channel. This move is part of a broader strategy by ABS-CBN to distribute its content across multiple platforms following the loss of its broadcast franchise.
Why it matters
Highlights the shifting landscape of Philippine media as former rival networks collaborate to maintain content reach and business viability.
Vice Ganda is bringing back “Gandang Gabi Vice,” six years after the popular late-night show ended its original run.
ABS-CBN chief operating officer Cory V. Vidanes confirmed the comeback during the company’s stockholders’ meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 19.
“Yes, ‘Gandang Gabi Vice,’ the new season, will come back next month on GMA, iWant, and Kapamilya Channel,” Vidanes said.
The show ended in March 2020 after nine years on ABS-CBN.
The return is significant not because ABS-CBN content airing on GMA is new. The two networks have been working together on various programs since ABS-CBN lost its broadcast franchise, with GMA becoming one of the platforms where ABS-CBN-produced shows can reach free-TV viewers.
What makes the latest announcement interesting is the franchise itself.
