Filipino fans have
more reasons to stay at home on a lazy Sunday afternoon to be able to follow
their favorite WWE Superstars on SmackDown such as AJ Styles, The New Day,
Randy Orton, Charlotte Flair, Shinsuke Nakamura, Kevin Owens and Naomi on
a one-hour edition of SmackDown to be aired by TV5 every Sunday at 3 PM. Beginning
on April 30, 2017.
A new
partnership between WWE and TV5 to broadcast WWE’s exciting
flagship program SmackDown in the Philippines over Channel TV5 was
recently forged. WWE SmackDown will also be simulcast online at www.tv5.com.ph and www.Sports.tv5.com.ph.
TV
5 Sports enjoys world-class coverage, programming, and delivery under TV5’s
watch. At the same time, the network champions a decidedly different brand of
entertainment that is influenced by and relevant to the current social milieu.
Pro wrestling action series
featuring the superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment made its debut on UPN
in 1999 and immediately became one of the network's most popular programs. WWE
programming reaches more than 650 million homes worldwide in 20 languages.
New TV5
President and CEO Chot Reyes said during the launching of SmackDown on TV 5 that
they are honored and excited to be the platform that delivers the WWE to the free
tv audience. “In the industry of sports entertainment, WWE is second to none.
It’s a proven, successful, model organization and an esteemed, iconic brand,”
Reyes enthused.
“We are happy
that TV5 shares our vision and desire for engaging and entertaining fans in the
Philippines. The new partnership to televise SmackDown showcases the continuing
global growth of WWE while creating a destination for WWE fans in the
Philippines to enjoy our unique blend of action-packed, family fun
entertainment,” Chris Marsh, WWE Asia Pacific General Manager, said to the
local media. Words and Photos By Eton B.
