TVJ and ‘Legit Dabarkads’ already made another history by breaking the record for the most concurrent viewers for a noontime show in the country.
It was reported that the newest noontime show of the former Eat Bulaga hosts, ‘E.A.T,’ reached more than 550,000 concurrent viewers on just two platforms, Facebook with 330,000 and Youtube with 250,000.
The viewers peaked during the performance of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon after arriving at their new studio on TV5.
They broke the previous record held by their competitor ‘It’s Showtime,’ which achieved 255,000 concurrent viewers during the Grand Finale of Tawag ng Tanghalan in 2023.
However, several It’s Showtime fans insisted that ‘E.A.T’ didn’t maintain its high online viewership while It’s Showtime still enjoyed 230,000 concurrent viewers on three different platforms.
Observers are more curious about how the transfer of TVJ to TV5 would change the rating contest, especially since the three programs were now competing against each other.
They’re also waiting for how the rivalry between TVJ and It’s Showtime would affect the popularity of TAPE Inc’s Eat Bulaga.
Meanwhile, TVJ was still waiting for the decision of the Intellectual Property Office on who’s the rightful owner of the ‘Eat Bulaga’ trademark.
