ABS-CBN Expresses Appreciation To TV5 For Accommodating It's Showtime

The noontime show of ABS-CBN will officially be aired on GTV

ABS-CBN expressed appreciation to the management of TV5 for accommodating the Kapamilya noontime show It’s Showtime.

Following the exodus that Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, and other Dabarkads did from TAPE Inc’s management, they signed a contract with MediaQuest, Manny V. Pangilinan’s media company.

With this, issues surfaced regarding the TV5’s noontime slot because it is currently occupied by It’s Showtime.

On June 20, it was finally confirmed that the Kapamilya noontime show will no longer continue using the noontime slot on TV5. GTV, the network under the management of GMA, officially announced that it is now the new home of It’s Showtime.

The hosts of the Kapamilya noontime show also shared on their social media pages the news about this.

In a statement, ABS-CBN thanked TV5 Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan for his support and for bringing It’s Showtime to a wider audience through their content partnership.

Then, the Kapamilya network stated that due to the change in TV5’s programming, It’s Showtime will no longer be seen on the Kapatid network starting July 1. The statement also explained why the network came up with this decision.

“For 14 years, “It’s Showtime” has brought joy and entertainment to our Madlang People here and abroad. 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, timeslot offered by TV5 for the show,” ABS-CBN stated.

The statement added that the Kapamilya noontime show will still be seen on A2Z, Kapamilya Online Live, iWantTFC, and TFC from Monday to Saturday.

Then, the Kapamilya network added that starting July 1, 2023, It’s Showtime will also air on GTV and they are thankful to GMA for this.
