9 more GMA 7 programs to do away with live audiences
GMA Network has temporarily suspended the admission of live studio audiences in all of its programs as a precautionary measure against the spread of COVID-19.
This decision was made in light of the government's declaration of a state of public health emergency and the increasing risks associated with the novel coronavirus.
The longest-running noontime game show 'Eat Bulaga!' was the first to suspend its live audience on March 9.
Nine more Kapuso shows will also air or tape without live studio audiences, including 'All-Out Sundays,' 'Centerstage,' 'Mars Pa More,' 'Wowowin,' 'Wowowin Primetime,' 'Idol sa Kusina,' 'The Boobay and Tekla Show,' 'Sarap 'Di Ba?', and 'Tonight with Arnold Clavio.'
The network is also postponing all external activities and events in Metro Manila until further notice.
These measures are implemented to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved and to cooperate with the government's efforts to contain the virus.
GMA Network urges the public to remain calm, cautious, and to heed official advisories from authorities.
