History

Following the non-renewal of ABS-CBN's franchise after its expiration on May 4, 2020, and its denial on July 10, 2020, as well as the following layoffs on August 31, 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, which had put restrictions on the workforce of the artists, TV5 secured timeslots from several other blocktimers featuring artists from the aforementioned network. On September 14, 2020, it was reported that several ABS-CBN artists would have shows on TV5 after the company signed a blocktime agreement with the said network. On October 18, 2020, Brightlight Productions launched their first wave of shows, namely, '' Sunday Noontime Live!'', '' I Got You'' and '' Sunday 'Kada'' which aired on back-to-back Sunday afternoon timeslots. In the following days, the other shows premiered. On January 17, 2021, it was reported that after three months, their Sunday programs would air their final episodes due to lack of advertisers and sponsorships. This resulted in the loss of their budget to pay the blocktime agreement with TV5. Following the end of their Sunday programs,

-produced programs ASAP and the FPJ: Da King movie block took over their respective timeslots on TV5. Their Sunday afternoon shows ended on January 17, 2021, while Oh My Dad! ended on April 24, 2021. On July 16, 2022, ''Lunch Out Loud'' was reformatted with a new title ''Tropang LOL'' and began its simulcast over

, Kapamilya Online Live and A2Z, being aired as a pre-programming to '' It's Showtime'', who started its simulcast on TV5 on the said date. ''It's Showtime'' reduced its airtime to 135 minutes to give way for the simulcast of ''Tropang LOL'' on the latter two networks. This arrangement lasted until April 29, 2023, when ''Tropang LOL'' aired its final episode with ''It's Showtime'' reverted to its original 12:00 PM timeslot with an airtime of 180 minutes. Some of their shows (like '' Rated Korina'' and '' Sunday 'Kada'') are currently airing on programming affiliate
