| TV Patrol World's 'refreshed' look coming MondayColumn: Entertainment TV Patrol World, the flagship news broadcast of ABS-CBN, unveils its "refreshed" look on Monday even as it retains its most popular segments and fulfills its mission to provide accurate, relevant, hard-hitting and timely news reports. "[We'll] be giving it a new look... The viewers can expect a new set," Luchi Cruz-Valdez, ABS-CBN Broadcasting's vice president for news operations, told abs-cbnNEWS.com. Valdez said when Patrol junkies tune it to the news broadcast on Monday at 6:30 p.m., they will be seeing a brand new OBB (opening billboard) with new and more catchy graphics, but still with the red, green and blue hues identified with ABS-CBN. The news executive said the new OBB of TV Patrol World will replace the old one which has been used for the past three years. TV Patrol World was launched in 2005 with Karen Davila, Henry Omaga-Diaz and Julius Babao as anchors. In 2006, Ted Failon replaced Omaga-Diaz in TV Patrol World after the latter was assigned to the late night news program, Bandila. The new look is accompanied by slight changes in Patrol's segments, particularly the "most popular" Citizen Patrol. Valdez said news executives are planning to "reformulate" the segment and air it twice or thrice a week. Citizen Patrol showcases citizen journalism where news viewers are given a chance to tell their stories themselves on national TV. The other popular segments, "Weather Weather Lang" of Kuya Kim Atienza, and Star Patrol anchored by Phoemela Baranda will be retained. The sports segment, Valdez said, will be "stronger" with Sports Unlimited's Dyan Castillejo. TV Patrol, the longest running Filipino primetime newscast, pioneered the fast-paced style of news delivery in the Philippines. abs -cbnNEWS.com is the online news department of ABS-CBN Interactive, Inc., a subsidiary of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation Source: ABS-CBN News |
