History
editMagandang Buhay premiered on ABS-CBN on April 18, 2016 and aired on Monday to Friday at 07:30 (PST).[3] The title of the show is inspired by a popular line from the Philippine television drama series Dream Dad.[4] On June 21, 2016, Magandang Buhay moved its time slot to 08:00 (PST).[5]
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.[6] The show was broadcast via Zoom on March 26 due to the COVID-19 pandemic's quarantine in Luzon.[7]
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.[8] The show resumed its live studio broadcast on June 15, 2020 following the launch of Kapamilya Channel.[9]
On June 14, 2021, Magandang Buhay began airing at 09:00 (PST).
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.[10][11] Estrada returned in a taped episode aired on July 22, marking her final appearance on the program after six years.[12][13] On August 8, Velasquez officially became a regular host in the talk show.[14]
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.[15] The show aired on TV5 from February 6, 2023 to March 1, 2024.[16][17] On May 13, 2024, the simulcast of Magandang Buhay was moved to All TV, marking its return to channels 2 and 16 in Mega Manila and regional channels after four years.[18] This occurred nearly a month after ABS-CBN Corporation and All TV's owner, Advanced Media Broadcasting System, which took over the former main ABS-CBN's free-to-air channel frequencies and all of the terrestrial stations two years prior,[19][20] signed content agreements to air ABS-CBN programs on All TV, with the show is also beginning simulcast on Jeepney TV as well.[21]
