Since then, I've encountered clips on YouTube of news programs (TV Patrol) in other Philippine languages. I was going to post a link to the Kapampangan one posted by Sisigman, but ABS-CBNi forced YouTube to remove it. I've also been able to view TV Patrol Zamboanga in Chavacano.
In any case, ABS-CBN has released regional programming on its online service, ABS-CBNnow! And for a limited time, it's free.
Right now, the programming is limited to Cebuano (TV Patrol Cebu, Davao & Cagayan de Oro), Ilokano (TV Patrol Laoag), and Hiligaynon (TV Patrol Iloilo & Negros Oriental) programming - the next three most-spoken languages after Tagalog.
As for non-news programming, there's a handful of variety shows catering to Cebuano and Hiligaynon audiences.
You may access these regional programs at http://now.abs-cbn.com//index-tvpreg.aspx
Below is a graphic from the page. The people are saying things in Hiligaynon, Cebuano, and Bikol. So far, there's no Bikol, Waray-Waray, and Kapampangan programming on that page yet. I'm hoping they add them soon. And then maybe I'll consider paying a monthly fee for this service once the free trial runs out.

Uy galing nito ah. Sana maging mainstream na yung mga regional programming at sana libre para mas accessible sa masa.
Digging the poster...looks like it could be the Filippino version of "High School Musical". LOL
