Easter Triduum 2024 on ABS-CBN Channels

It's the time of the year again when ABS-CBN channels and partner networks choose to go off the air or offer special programming in keeping with the last few days of the Lenten Season.

Partner network A2Z will simulcast the Kapamilya Channel's Holy Week programming with some pan-Christian TV offerings of its own. 

Partner stations Teleradyo Serbisyo and Radyo 630 AM will go off the air for 3 days (Moundy Thursday to Black Saturday).

ABS-CBN's only 24/7 English news channel ANC will have special programming in the form of replays and highlights of its best editions of its newscasts, talk shows and factual programming from its 2023 and 2024 airings along with breaking news for Moundy Thursday and Good Friday.

How Was 2024 So Far?

 So how is 2024 so far, Kapamilya?

We got more to do since we are 9 months more, yet we have to place a pat on the back for all efforts exerted for the past 3 months.

Yes, we had Salubong 2024, still with Pia Gutierrez and Adrian Ayalin along with Migs Bustos and various other ABS-CBN correspondents stationed in Rizal Park-Manila, Quezon City's Memorial Circle, Ayala Avenue-Makati and Tagaytay City.

Here is the link of the live broadcast.

Halalan and Salubong Post Shutdown`

Denied a broadcast franchise by the National Telecommunications Commission and the Congress of the Philippines, ABS-CBN as a media company shouldered on, producing special coverage broadcasts that can still give legit broadcasters a run of their finances and audiences. Case in point: Halalan 2022 and the New Year Salubong midnight broadcasts after the unjust 2020 broadcast shutdown.

Besides Kabayan Noli de Castro and the gamut of various news anchors from ANC and Teleradyo Channels and the ones from the original Channel 2, we had the national reporters, regional stringers (former ABS-CBN Regional correspondents) and TFC correspondents in various countries worldwide giving out live updates from actual polling to actual counting on Election Day and in-depth analysis of data and issues from various subject matter experts. Small broadcast infrastructure from affiliate-partner A2Z not withstanding, Halalan 2022 is all good in all aspects. Let us not mention the outcome of the elections, shall we? A better Halalan 2025 coverage is a Deal for me.

Salubong New Year midnight broadcasts have been mainly confined to Teleradyo Channel simulcast on ANC. For me, Salubong 2021 is the best post-shutdown ABS-CBN New Year midnight show to watch, in contrast to less celebration coverage offered by Salubong 2022 and lesser time offered by Salubong 2023 (not to mention the broadcast being relayed by Kapamilya Channel and A2Z). A better Salubong 2024 is a Deal for me.
