History

[edit]

Magandang Buhay premiered on ABS-CBN on April 18, 2016 every Monday to Friday at 07:30 (PST), replacing Kris TV.[1] The title of the show is inspired by a popular line from the Philippine television drama series Dream Dad.[2] On June 21, 2016, Magandang Buhay moved its time slot to 08:00 (PST).[3]

On March 10, 2020, the admission of live audience members to the show was suspended following a public health emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] The show was broadcast via Zoom on March 26 due to the COVID-19 pandemic's quarantine in Luzon.[5]

On May 5, 2020, Magandang Buhay was suspended after ABS-CBN permanently ceased the free-to-air broadcast operations as ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission (under the leadership of Gamaliel Cordoba) and Solicitor General Jose Calida.[6] Following the launch of Kapamilya Channel, the show resumed its live studio broadcast on June 15, 2020.[7]

In 2022, Karla Estrada was on temporary leave due to her commitment with Tingog Party List in the Philippine House of Representatives elections. During Estrada's absence, Regine Velasquez and Judy Ann Santos each served as guest co-hosts.[8][9] On July 22, 2022, Estrada returned in a taped episode, marking her final appearance on the program after six years.[10][11] On August 8, Velasquez officially became a regular host in the talk show.[12]

In a trade event of TV5 Network, Inc. on November 23, 2022, it was announced that Magandang Buhay would be part of the network's programming line-up.[13] The show aired on TV5 from February 6, 2023 to March 1, 2024.[14][15] On May 13, 2024, the show had begun its simulcast on All TV, thus marking its return to channels 2 and 16 in Mega Manila and regional channels previously held by ABS-CBN.[16]
