ISANG staff ng The Buzz—which aired its last episode on April 5—ang nakausap namin tungkol sa pamamaalam nito after 16 years.
While most of them were notified noong gabi ng Lunes, the staff only learned about the show’s cancellation two days later.
Ayon sa kanya, social media has caught up with their show. Ang makabagong panahon with the most hi-tech means of getting the news in the fastest way ang dahilan daw kung bakit The Buzz had to take a bow.
Bukod dito, ang time slot daw nitong 4-5:30 ng hapon—in the “now” generation—ay hindi na pang-showbiz talk show.
Pero kapwa kami sang-ayon that showbiz-oriented talk shows are a stable fare. Of all the genres, mounting such a program is the cheapest (in cost) production. To top it all, tsismis makes good business.
At lalong higit sa lahat, you cannot sideline a genius like Boy Abunda.
Dinig namin, The Buzz—o kung anuman ang magiging bagong program title nito—will be resurrected. Dahil sa nalalapit at napipintong banggaan nila ng Sunday show ni Willie Revillame, ABS-CBN will be in the process of testing the waters, and from there ay at saka sila mag-eere ng malakas na pantapat dito.
