Vice Ganda says ‘It’s Showtime’ has no ill feelings toward TVJ, grateful to GTV for new home
ABS-CBN's noontime variety show, It's Showtime, will begin airing on GMA's GTV channel starting July 1, 2023.
This move follows the expiration of ABS-CBN's blocktime agreement with TV5 for It's Showtime's airing on June 30, 2023.
ABS-CBN decided to decline TV5's offer for a delayed telecast, valuing their audience relationship in the noontime slot.
Mainstay host Vice Ganda assured viewers that the "It's Showtime" team has no ill feelings towards Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon (TVJ), whose show will take over the TV5 noontime slot.
Vice Ganda admitted to feeling sad for the show's staff who were confused about their future before the transfer to GTV.
GMA Chairman and CEO Felipe Gozon expressed his delight over giving a new home to the ABS-CBN show.
The surprise move by ABS-CBN and GMA might affect the July 1 return of TVJ on TV5.
