Wil Revillame is keeping his word: He’s no longer appearing in “Wowowee” if Jobert Sucaldito is not removed from ABS-CBN. His actions 11 days after making the statement confirm this. Here’s the big confirmation!
Wil is set to host the local version “The Price is Right” for a an entertainment-based network where a business conglomorate is now part owner. Since Wil is under contract with ABS-CBN until 2011, he plans to do it as a host of “The Price Is Right” and as a blocktimer. He plans to do other show formats in a different setup eventually once he is free of his contractual obligation with ABS-CBN.
STIR knows the other details of the new show and the network but will not disclose them at this time.
I wrote in last Monday’s STIR entitled “What makes Wil blow his top?” (CLICK HERE for details): “But I don’t know why it keep on popping in my grey matters that Wil has the alternative to produce his own noontime show under this scenario: With himself, Manny Pacquiao, and Manny Villar as investors, he will convert the Wil Theater-Mall (expected time of completion – 2012) into his own studio and air the show as a blocktimer. If he puts his mind into it, he can also easily put up his own network.”
This FIRST CRACK is a confirmation of said hunch but the Wil Theater-Mall conversion is out of scenario as “The First Is Right” is an A.S.A.P. project. New big players have entered the scene.
As reported by STIR, “Party On 5” featured Wil’s songs yesterday and Cristy Fermin interviewed him for “Paparazzi.” Although feelers have been sent, TV5 head Bobby Barreiro confirmed the Kapatid network had not formally talked with Willie or there’s a standing offer for his transfer.
Wil is in Macau with Luis Chavit Singson and Edgar Mortiz. If you’ve been to Macau, you know they are not there for sightseeing. For sure, they are there to play the “future” table!
But the big stumbing block is still Wil’s contract with ABS-CBN.
