After days of rumors, it was confirmed that It’s Showtime didn’t renew its contract with TV5 after the possibility of being transferred to the nighttime slot.
In a Facebook post made by GTV, a channel owned by GMA, they confirmed that their network was the new home of Its Showtime which is considered the closest rival of Eat Bulaga.
It can be recalled that TV5 planned to give their noontime slot to the new program of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, and former Eat Bulaga hosts who resigned from TAPE Inc. last May 31.
It was reported that TV5 wanted the two rivals to stay in their network by giving the nighttime slot to Its Showtime.
However, some fans opposed the idea, saying that Its Showtime should remain a noontime show.
The ‘Madlang People’ were happy about the decision made by the noontime show to transfer to GTV.
“Kung saan and showtime doon kami,” one netizen said.
“Dear It’s Showtime, Congratulations… Wait lang po kayo.. Kc one day you will shine the brightest ,, I am very sure of that.. Just continue po being a FAMILY to us and we will support you in your ups and down be humble always… GODBLESS,” netizen Mhylean commented.
The said move made by It’s Showtime would result in a three-way rivalry on noontime ratings.
