Ang TV (English: The TV) is a youth-oriented variety show in the Philippines. The show's format was inspired by its predecessor Kaluskos Musmos, (a popular Philippine kiddie gag show in the 1970s and its foreign counterpart The Mickey Mouse Club). Prior to 1992, Johnny Manahan, a Filipino director, enlisted a group of kids and pre-teens to create the first ever youth-oriented variety show in the Philippines.
Many of the Philippines' current artists are from Ang TV. Active Filipino artists from Ang TV include Jolina Magdangal, Angelica Panganiban, Claudine Barretto, Rica Peralejo, John Prats, Angelu de Leon, Camille Prats, Shaina Magdayao, Kaye Abad and Patrick Garcia.
After running on-air for two years, Ang TV came back with a new theme song and a new logo, and the network added more talents to the show's list of bright stars.
After a couple more years the Ang TV "fever" continued, with many youngsters still auditioning to be a part of the show aired in 2001.
Ang TV's famous catchphrase was "Nge!" after a joke, as well as it popularized the famous iconic opening line "4:30 na! Ang TV na!".
Other ABS-CBN shows have picked up on this catchphrase as well (examples: Joey Marquez and Richard Gomez from Palibhasa Lalake; The Gwapings: Jomari Yllana, Mark Anthony Fernandez, and Erik Fructuoso; and Jennifer Sevilla, Nannette Inventor, Carmina Villaroel, Nova Villa and Sammy Lagmay from "Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata"). Ang TV's theme was "Do Wah Diddy Diddy," which later was incorporated into the show's theme song.
