ARIEL URETA, 70s TV ICON

 Ariel signed his first name

 

TV host and comedian Ariel Ureta, a popular TV personality in the 70s, started out as an advertising man. He got into television via noontime show, “Ariel Con Tina,” with co-host, teen star Tina Revilla in the early 70s, replacing “Stop, Look and Listen.” This was later replaced by another show called “Twelve O’clock High.”
 

The slogan that got him into deep trouble

What I remember most about Ariel was when he was made to ride a bicycle at CampCrame because he dared to say: “Sa ikauunlad ng bayan, bisikleta ang kailangan,” instead of “Sa ikauunlad ng bayan, disiplina ang kailangan.” It happened during the early part of Martial Law. Ariel later sported a very short haircut when he appeared in his program, as part of the punishment, I suppose.

He also appeared in the movies early in his showbiz career, zooming as Superman in “Zoom, Zoom Superman” and as Popeye, Dracula and Dyango in “Si Popeye, atbp.” He went on to do more TV shows in the mid 70s, among this was the top rating early night show “Ariel & Co. After Six.”

Today, he hosted Todo-Todo Walang Preno, a top-rating and award-winning DZMM teleradyo program with Winnie Cordero. What keeps me glued to his program is Ariel’s vast knowledge of almost any topics which he shares with listeners and televiewers. He loves to crack jokes and share some of his funny experiences. As Ariel once said, “pag napatawa natin sila… boundary na ako!”

Two back-to- back top rating primetime shows of BBC Channel 2 in 1976--- "Ariel & Co. After Six" (6:30 pm) and "Nothing But the Truth"(8:30 pm) hosted by Inday Badiday.
