ABS-CBN has announced that “It’s Showtime” will end its noontime run on TV5 and that the variety show will be aired on GMA’s GTV Channel starting July 1.
The network made the announcement through an official statement released on Tuesday, June 20, wherein it expressed its “heartfelt appreciation” to TV5 chairman Manny Pangilinan for the networks’ content partnership.
“With the new programming movement in TV5, we are sad to announce that ‘It’s Showtime’ will no longer be seen on TV5 beginning 1 July 2023,” the statement read, apparently referring to the upcoming show of original “Eat Bulaga” mainstays Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon (TVJ) on the Kapatid network.
“We value the meaningful relationship we have built and nurtured with our audience in the noontime slot. It is for this reason that we have respectfully declined the 4:30 p.m. time slot offered by TV5 for the show,” it disclosed.
ABS-CBN then stated that aside from its platforms, “It’s Showtime” will continue its noontime run on GTV Channel, a free-to-air television network owned by GMA.
“We are also very grateful to GMA’s GTV Channel and happy to announce that ‘It’s Showtime’ has found another home. Starting 1 July 2023, ‘It’s Showtime’ will also be aired on GTV from Monday to Saturday at 12 noon. G na G tayo, Madlang People!” it added.
“We are thankful for the loyal support our audiences have provided for ‘It’s Showtime’ and hope they continue to find joy and entertainment on the show as it seeks to find more ways to reach them,” it concluded.
