Talks of “It’s Showtime” moving to GMA gained ground on Tuesday after it teased on social media of a certain “good news” coming soon for its audience — which was eventually picked up and shared by the Kapuso network.
The Vice Ganda-led program on ABS-CBN platforms has been reported to be transferring to GMA-7 to take its noontime slot following the exit of the short-lived “Tahanang Pinakamasaya,” but no formal announcement has been made yet on the matter.
The official X (formerly Twitter) page of “It’s Showtime” said on Tuesday, March 19 that a certain “good news” will come.
“Good news, Madlang People! Abangan (coming soon),” its post read.

On the other hand, ABS-CBN hinted at a “surprise” for the noontime show’s dedicated fans, although it’s the letter “G” is notably prominent in the short clip.
“May sorpresa ang ‘It’s Showtime’ para sa Madlang People! Abangan (“It’s Showtime” has a surprise for its Madlang People! Coming soon),” the media giant wrote.

Speculations of “It’s Showtime” moving to GMA-7 started after “Tahanang Pinakamasaya” aired its last episode on March 2, although replays were broadcast before its official announcement.
TAPE then confirmed that “unwanted circumstances” prompted the production company to pull the plug off the noontime show on March 7.
Meanwhile, “It’s Showtime” mainstay host Vice Ganda said the “best days are coming” on its March 12 episode. The noontime show is currently airing on the Kapuso subsidiary network GTV, as of this writing.
