Umagang Kay Ganda looks like The Today Show

I used to love watching ABS-CBN’s Magandang Umaga Pilipinas (MUP) every weekday morning than the Unang Hirit (UH) of GMA. Their programs were better than UH and the show was very informative.

But ever since they changed from MUP to Umagang Kay Ganda (UKG) I began to switch channels because their new programming is worse than UH and their news section is the only one I’m watching and the rest of the morning I switch to UH or other channels.

The topics are boring. Donita Rose speaks English a lot, hope she starts to use more Tagalog as soon as possible. Edu Manzano, Pinky Webb and Alex Santos are fine. Bernadette Sembrano, Winnie Cordero and Ogie Diaz are still in the show (that’s good news), but Ogie’s segment changed from fun to noisy with all the people in the background. Rica is okay I think and Anthony Taberna is still the best guy in the show because of his segment.

But my main topic for this post is that Umagang Kay Ganda looks like The Today Show in so many ways. Their new logo is a copycat from The Today Show logo. Even the colors are the same - orange.

They also have the same live audience concept in the background (people behind the fence clapping,cheering shouting etc.), a glass window behind them with people outside and many more. If you have cable, watch ETC 2nd Avenue every morning around the same time with UKG and you will see.Overall, the show became boring and I have two shows to watch instead of one. Sorry guys but this is how I see it.
