SCOOP: IT'S CONFIRMED! WILLING-WILLIE TO START AIRING ON TV5 ON OCTOBER 23

The much-anticipated debut of "Willing-Willie," Willie Revillame's new game show in his new home channel TV5 will begin airing on October 23, Saturday, according to Viva Entertainment's big boss Vic del Rosario.

It was earlier reported that the controversial game show, which is heavily patterned after Revillame's now-defunct noontime show "Wowowee," will break on air on the lucky day of October 10, 2010 (10-10-10).

According to del Rosario, "Willing-Willie" will shake up Philippine television. It will be the only game show in the first hour of the prime time-- competing with tried and tested ratings maker news shows "TV Patrol" of ABS-CBN and "24-Oras" of GMA 7.

Revillame is reported to be receiving around P4.5B in his three-year contract with TV5, the biggest payoff ever in the history of Philippine show business. However, the talk show host was slapped with  a P485M law suit by his former station ABS-CBN for breach of contract.

CONFIRMED! WILLIE SIGNS EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT WITH TV5

Former Wowowee host Willie Revillame has signed an exclusive contract with TV5 according to Viva Entertainment’s big boss and talent manager Vic del Rosario. His show will be called "Wiling Wili" and is expected to first air on October 10.

I was informed by Boss Vic himself that a photo release was issued this afternoon by the camp of Revillame to selected members of the press showing the controversial host signing a contract with TV5 president Manny Pangilinan. The photograph is expected to come out in tomorrow’s entertainment section of the newspapers.

“It’s official, Willie will be having his own show in TV5!” he confirmed.

HOW MUCH?
While the details of the contract and Willie’s show remains confidential, I was informed by a very reliable source that “the deal is the biggest ever in Philippine entertainment history…” And we are not talking here of just a multi-million deal. I was told it was stunningly beyond that.

My source added that Willie's new show is going to shakeup TV programming and everyone will be caught by surprise.
