How true that the Kapamilya noontime show will get to replace the currently running noontime show on TV5?
After the successful airing of ABS-CBN’s ASAP Natin ‘To and FPJ: Da King on TV5 on Sunday, 24 January 2021 as well as the confirmation of the two Networks’ partnership–Netizens clamor for the latter station’s daily noontime show to be replaced by It’s Showtime! Tweets about the possible scenario of Kapamilya shows invading TV5 flooded.
A Netizen predicted that It’s Showtime! has a high chance to air on TV5 if Brightlight Productions’ Lunch Out Loud won’t improve its rating.
Netizens started to speculate when they encountered an ‘intriguing’ post by TV5’s [official] social media accounts on Saturday, January 23, asked online users to share their favorite Lunch Out Loud episode.

Encouraging online users to share their Lunch Out Loud best episodes sounded suspicious for some. Some Netizens speculated that Lunch Out Loud is edging its possible cancellation on air soon.
@ako_horhe tweeted and assumed that the show is doing best of Laugh Out Loud episodes because of its near-end.
“Ayyyy, tatanggalin na rin ba kaya may pa best of episodes na ang show???”, @ako_horhe

@JackparmB in another tweet reasoned out that Congressman Albee Benitez of Brightlight Productions is already on a losing end, which could make the show go off the air. He assumed to have It’s Showtime on TV5 next month.
“Next Month Kayo Na Papalit Sa TimeSlot Ng LOL LUNCH OUT LOUD Nalugi Na Si Congressman Benitez. See You Next Month @itsShowtimeNa Sa TV5.”, @JackparmB

Meanwhile, Netizens are expecting the possibility that other Kapamilya shows and teleseryes like Magandang Buhay, Bagong Umaga, FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, Pinoy Big Brother, Walang Hanggang Paalam, and Ang Sa Iyo Ay Akin will also dominate the Kapatid network.
