The Score set for October relaunch

The Score is getting a makeover.

The flagship program of S+A is getting a new look and a more exciting format when it relaunches on October 1, with the one and only Mico Halili taking over the reins as its host from TJ Manotoc. It will be broadcast first LIVE on ABS-CBN Sports' YouTube channel, with a 6pm primetime airing on S+A and S+A HD.

Mico will be enlisting a crack team of sporting icons to help deliver the latest sports news, analysis, and features. The list includes the likes of Michele Gumabao, Joe DeVance, Paolo Javelona, and Beau Belga, who were at the press launch on Thursday, as well as Joe's Ginebra teammates in Jett Manuel and LA Tenorio, among others.

Each day on The Score brings a different flavor aside from the expected rundown of what went on in the world of sports, with Mondays and Fridays devoted to the hottest sporting issues of the day. Tuesdays and Wednesdays will feature one-on-one interviews with sports personalities revealing their stories beyond the game and shedding an additional light. Thursdays center on basketball, with light and amusing conversations from Mico and his cast of characters.

According to ABS-CBN Integrated Sports head Dino Laurena, "We are very excited to bring The Score further to the digital sphere where we know our audiences love to watch their favorite teams and players while interacting with fellow sports fans. We are also airing it on television on primetime to reach more Filipinos, especially the youth who look up to our athletes as role models and find inspiration in their journey to greatness."

S+A channel head Vince Rodriguez adds, "Mico has always been about being ahead of the game and that is one of the reasons we got him back to lead the digital strategy of ABS-CBN Sports. It was probably fate that we are in need of a new face to lead The Score and his combination of experience as an anchor, credibility as a sports analyst, and digital savvy make him the unanimous choice for the post."

The Score will be first shown via ABS-CBN Sports' YouTube channel at 1pm, with the subsequent S+A telecast to take place at 6pm (or after whatever LIVE coverage S+A is having).
