The prolific trio of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon (TVJ) and their group of “Legit Dabarkads” have found a new home in TV5, thanks to a partnership with Cignal and SatLite, the country’s leading Pay TV providers. Starting Saturday, July 1, 2023, subscribers of Cignal and SatLite can enjoy watching TVJ’s long-awaited return to the noontime slot.
To celebrate this exciting collaboration, Cignal, and SatLite will offer all subscribers free access to TV5 SD (Ch. 5), regardless of their load, from July 1 to 8. With Cignal’s extensive nationwide coverage, TVJ’s noontime show will now reach even the country’s most remote areas. From Batanes to Jolo, subscribers can simply turn on their Cignal or SatLite boxes and enjoy the highly anticipated first week of TVJ’s program.


For a high-definition viewing experience, subscribers can tune in to Cignal’s TV5 HD (Channel 15), a first on Pay TV. Existing Cignal subscribers with an active subscription can access this channel in their current lineup and other HD channels.
Gerard L. Milan, Chief Revenue Officer of Cignal TV, expressed excitement about bringing TVJ and the Legit Dabarkads back to live television. By offering free access to TV5 SD on Cignal and SatLite, TVJ’s return to the noontime slot will be accessible to a wider audience, aligning with their commitment to deliver top-quality entertainment that is relevant and accessible to all.
TVJ’s move to TV5 has gained attention, especially from fans who have missed their presence on the long-running noontime show, “Eat Bulaga,” which has been closely associated with TVJ for the past 44 years. The partnership between TV5 and TVJ Productions, referred to as an “investment agreement” by MediaQuest Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan, aims to bring high-quality and entertaining content to viewers across the country.
Make sure to tune in to the return of TVJ on Cignal and SatLite starting from July 1. For more information about Cignal’s plans and offers, visit their website at www.cignal.tv or contact their Sales Hotline at #88555.
