GAME DAY spills over to the weekend as the Balls Channel brings Gameday Weekend, a spin-off of its popular daily sports news program.
Hosted by Gretchen Ho and Mia Cabalfin, and featuring some members of the Philippine Azkals, the show is a 30-minute program which will air every Saturday and Sunday at 5:30 p.m. on the cable sports channel beginning on June 29. It will have replays on Studio 23 later in the night at 9:30 p.m.
Gameday Weekend is a byproduct of the daily show Gameday with Boom Gonzales which airs every morning from Monday to Friday at 8:30 a.m. But while Gonzales’ show mostly delivers sports news straight up, Gameday Weekend puts a new spin on it as it is a lifestyle-oriented sports show that is built for the weekend warriors.
The show has a wide range of features, which includes spotlight on prominent athletes’ achievements, interviews with fitness experts and news on the latest sports gears, among others.
The Sunday airing will showcase a segment called "The Showdown" where the female hosts are pitted against members of the Azkals in various sports.
"It was a natural progression from the weekday program of doing sports news and recaps into getting something else," said Gonzales, who spoke on behalf of the production team, when asked for the reason for putting up the new show.
"We wanted a different format for Saturday and Sunday and I think we have the perfect hosts [in Gretchen and Mia] for it. And, again, the idea of having the Azkals with our hosts presents a different dynamic also. But it was just a natural progression from the Monday to Friday format so that when it comes to the weekends we will present something different but still using the brand and the name Gameday," added Gonzales, who hosted the launching of the new program yesterday.
For Ho, who recently finished his studies and eligibility as a member of the Ateneo de Manila University volleyball team, Gameday Weekend marks her first full-time hosting stint on TV.
"It is a privilege for me to be here and to be chosen by the management of Balls," said Ho, adding she is keeping herself fit by working out to keep up with the physical demands of the show while working double time in honing her hosting skills with the help of the people behind the program. -- Michael Angelo S.
