Speculations were circulating in the industry that GMA Network’s top-rated noontime show, It’s Showtime, would be replaced by TiktoClock on their noontime slot.
TiktoClock was the original show by GMA Network, which was currently the pre-programming of It’s Showtime.
Kim Atienza, Pokwang, Herelene Budol, and other Sparkle Management hosts led the Kapuso show.
According to the report published by pep.ph, GMA was expected to release a statement to confirm or deny the speculations.
It can be recalled that there were already rumors that the contract between GMA and Showtime would only last until December 2024.
If the rumors were true, it would debunk the possibility of Eat Bulaga’s return to GMA Network.
Last year, Eat Bulaga hosts decided to leave TAPE Inc. and GMA due to their differences in management.
The news received mixed reactions from the netizens.
“Mukha naman consistent high rating ang It’s showtime sa noon time slot, so if something is working perfectly fine, there’s no need to change, improvement, yes. Pero hindi yung overhaul na gagawin,” a netizen said.
“I will never understand how they make these decisions in GMA. Mataas ratings + They can use it as an avenue to promote their artists and shows to folks who are solid ABS-CBN/showtimers who may have never heard of these artists/shows. Wider audience. Win win. Why?” another netizen commented.
