Rumor has it that It’s Showtime will no longer air on GMA and here is what a Kapuso executive said about this.

The writer said that they sent a Viber message to GMA senior vice-president Annette Gozon-Valdes about this. The TV executive said, “We are in the process of negotiations now for the renewal of Showtime.”
When asked if there is a big possibility the show led by Unkabogable Star will remain in the Kapuso network, Gozon-Valdes said, “I do not know who released this info since we are still currently negotiating nga for Showtime’s renewal.”
Entertainment writer Noel Ferrer shared that there are a lot of stories that surfaced regarding this matter. He shared that there were speculations that the Kapamilya noontime show has a big debt to GMA-7 but they haven’t receive any answer about this issue.
It was also alleged that TAPE Inc. is negotiating with GMA to take over the noontime slot. However, TAPE Inc. CEO Ms. Malou Choa-Fagar refused to answer this rumor. Ferrer also shared that some people from TAPE said that did not hear anything about the rumored negotiation.
