The programs aired at that time were usually borrowed films from the foreign embassies, imported old cowboy movies, and actual coverage of a variety of events. When the station ran out of presenting any new feature, stage plays were transported to television. In 1953, less than a month after the first telecast, Father James Reuter , who had radio and television training, produced the first play on Philippine television entitled "Cyrano de Bergerac". The three-hour-long play was aired live and all the talents were students.
