MTB, fully spelled as Magandang Tanghali Bayan (transl. Good Afternoon, People) and Masayang Tanghali Bayan (transl. A Fun Afternoon, People), and later known as MTB Ang Saya Saya (transl. MTB, So Fun or transl. MTB, an extremely happy time), is a Philippine noon time variety show broadcast by ABS-CBN. The show was aired on Weekdays and Saturdays and was also broadcast worldwide through The Filipino Channel. The show was known for its many formats and host changes over the years that it was broadcast. MTB is the third longest running noon time show of ABS-CBN after Eat Bulaga! (1989–1995) and Wowowee (2005–2010), staying on air for 4 years, 2 months and 22 days (as "Magandang Tanghali Bayan" from 1998 to 2003). Other MTB incarnations such as Masayang Tanghali Bayan and MTB Ang Saya Saya stayed on air for around one year each, before Wowowee eventually took over. Overall though, MTB was the longest running daily noontime show of ABS-CBN until It's Showtime (which originally aired as a morning talent variety show and moved to the noontime slot in 2012) surpassed its run in 2019 in the 12:00PM time slot. The total run of It's Showtime (which includes its pre-afternoon years) has already broken MTB's record three years prior.
