List of programming blocks by Television Three

Television Three is an English-language Filipino television network known for their experimental television programs during the 70's and 80's. It currently has three main programming blocks: Daylight Delight, Primetime Three, and M.

Daylight Delight
Daylight Delight is a programming block that airs every 5:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. - the longest runtime out of the three main programming blocks.

It debuted on November 28, 1977, alongside Television Sunrise, The Primetime Program (now Primetime Three), and Midnight Television (now M), replacing former programming blocks TBC 1 and TBC 2, with a schedule from 9:50 a.m. to 4:25 p.m.

Daylight Delight later replaced Television Sunrise on September 9, 1987, acquiring the latter's schedule of 5:00 to 9:45 a.m.

Nowadays, it airs mostly educational, informative, and entertainment programs, such as TeleDocumentaries, Afternoon Movie Specials, NewsJournal 1 and 2, Three Early Morning, and so on.

Primetime Three
Primetime Three (stylized as primetime, formerly known as The Primetime Program) is an afternoon programming block that airs every 3:30 to 11:30 p.m.

Alongside Television Sunrise, Daylight Delight, and Midnight Television (now M), it was launched on November 28, 1977, with a schedule from 4:30 to 11:25 p.m.

Its comprises mostly entertainment programs such as game shows, talk shows, drama, movies, and telenovelas.

During it's early years, it was advertised as the most important and exciting programming block in Television Three as it includes some of their popular and successful original programs like Sound and Vision, Top 3, Life!, and many more.

M
M (formerly known as Midnight Television) is a nighttime programming block that airs every 11:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.

Launched on November 28, 1977, together with Television Sunrise, Daylight Delight, and The Primetime Program (now Primetime Three), to a mixed reception, with criticisms regarding the lack of original programs in the block, since it would only air imported television programs.

On January 5, 1980, to compensate for these criticisms, Television Three launched the live television program, Why Are You Still Awake?, which is aired throughout the entire runtime of the programming block. It was hosted by Martin Pangilinan, and was praised by TV viewers for its calm and laid-back tone and dry humor. It includes three segments that would be repeated multiple times, One-on-One Talk, Watch and Listen, and Movie Poll. Throughout its run, the show attracted many viewers. The show ended on December 31, 1983, a few days before it's third anniversary.

Following the end of the show, Midnight Television would then air a mix of imported and original programming that consists of animated shorts, television comedies and dramas, talk shows, and movies.

The block would be renamed to M on January 2, 2016.

TBC Programming Blocks (1970-1977)
TBC 1 and 2 were programming blocks that initially aired on Television Three's predecessor, E Television. It was launched on December 17, 1966, organizing programs that are fit on either daytime or nighttime. TBC 1 aired public affair programs, movies, and telenovelas from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m., and TBC 2 aired mostly entertainment programs, including talk shows, game shows, and music programs from 4:30 to 10:00 p.m. E Television, alongside the programming blocks, ceased its operations on December 25, 1969.

On January 4, 1970, the day after Television Three's launch night, the programming blocks were brought back. The schedules remained the same until Television Three was shut down on September 23, 1972. Omega Television was launched two months later, replacing the programming blocks with Omega 1 and 2. The first is broadcast between 5:00 to 11:45 a.m., and the second is broadcast between 2:45 to 9:30 p.m.

On February 17, 1973, it was renamed back to Television Three. It retained Omega Television's programming schedule with some slight changes (3 hour gap is omitted, sign-off time changed to 9:00 p.m.) and restored TBC 1 and 2.

On April 2, 1974, Television Three expanded their broadcast hours and TBC 1 and 2 were rescheduled once again for the last time: the former now broadcasts between 5:00 a.m. - 12:25 p.m., and the latter between 12:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The programming blocks were discontinued on November 27, 1977, being replaced with Television Sunrise, Daylight Delight, The Primetime Program, and Midnight Television the next day.
