Wala nang babalikan! ABS-CBN cool to Noli De Castro’s return after shelving Senate bid

ABS-CBN reportedly isn’t keen on accepting Noli De Castro back as an anchor after he backed out of the 2022 senatorial race, Politiko has learned.

A source told Politiko that ABS-CBN bosses are firm on their decision to make Karen Davila the third anchor of the network’s flagship newscast, TV Patrol.

And since ABS-CBN is maximizing its resources to survive the absence of a franchise, it’s more prudent for the network to groom young reporters to take over the time slot vacated by De Castro’s “Kabayan” radio show than pay him a hefty salary to be back.

De Castro announced Wednesday (October 13) his withdrawal from the senatorial race, barely a week after he formalized his candidacy.
