Willie Revillame and ABS-CBN – What’s the Real Score?

Looks like we’re not gonna see Willie Revillame hosting Wowowee for quite a long time.

Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino’s late night entertainment gossip show SNN – Showbiz News Ngayon showed ABS-CBN’s official statement regarding their meet-up / negotiations with Wowowee host Willie Revillame. I was eating dinner and was not able to capture the first slide but luckily, I was able to take a snap of the second slide with my camera phone.

Below is the second slide of ABS-CBN’s official statement:

It seems like things didn’t work out well for both camps during the negotiations.

ABS-CBN granted Willie Revillame an indefinite break (note that in Willie Revillame’s letter, he was requesting that the network release him ) Willie Revillame’s contract is still good for one and a half more year, as such, he is prohibited from hosting or doing the same business with other (rival) networks.

Although ABS-CBN stated that they are still going to have further negotiations with Willie Revillame in the future, it is also clear that they are now looking for Willie’s replacement for the show. This is Robin Padilla’s second week as a guest host and I heard that the next guest host may be Singing Bee’s host, Cesar Montano.

I must say that Robin Padilla is doing great in the show, giving the show a new flavor and a new kind of excitement to the viewers. For sure, Willie will be missed but if he really wants to opt out of the contract, maybe they can keep ‘Idol’ for good.

Or maybe recreate the show with Pokwang, Mariel and Valerie as the main hosts – why not? it’s been three decades of noon time show that we’re seeing male hosts  :)

    A buy out can be executed. Example, if another network is willing to take in Willie which is still under contract from Ch. 2, the proposing network can buy out the remaining contract.

    If I have to choose between web based Vs Live Poker I will almost always choose the live option as playing on-line poker quite often makes me feel like a poker bot – counting cards and just getting by dry strategy
