ABS-CBN and GMA Network announced their co-production agreement to bring "It's Showtime" to viewers on GMA’s second free-to-air channel GTV on noontime starting July 1 (Saturday). The contract signing was held at Seda Hotel Vertis, where top executives from both companies and the hosts of “It’s Showtime" were present. ABS-CBN’s popular noontime variety show will now be available on GTV, which can be accessed on various platforms, such as channel 27 on free TV, channel 15 on TVplus, channel 2 on GMA Affordabox, channel 24 on SKYcable, channel 11 on Cignal, channel 6 on GSat, and channel 24 on Destiny Cable. "Maraming pong salamat sa pagtanggap sa ‘It's Showtime’ at sa pagyakap niyo muli sa ABS-CBN. Thank you for your kindness, GMA. Nagpapasalamat din kami sa lahat ng 'It's Showtime' hosts at sa buong ‘It's Showtime’ family dahil hindi kayo bumitaw at hindi kayo sumuko sa pagbibigay ng saya at serbisyo," said ABS-CBN president and CEO Carlo L. Katigbak. "Sa pirmahan natin ngayong hapon with ABS-CBN, sa paglipat ng noontime program na very popular na ‘It’s Showtime [sa GTV], na mag-uumpisa sa July 1, at ‘yung mga nakaraan naming mga [partnership ng] ABS-CBN, siguro pwede na natin sabihin ngayon without any fear of contradiction na ‘yung kompetisyon o ‘TV war’ is finally over," said GMA chairman and CEO Felipe L. Gozon.
