Starting on July 16, Lunch Out Loud and It’s Showtime will deliver back-to-back “saya” throughout the noon hour.

On July 11, ABS-CBN PR’s official Twitter account issued a statement on the “sanib-pwersa” between the two shows. Watchers of the noontime shows may enjoy back-to-back entertainment on Saturday.

Lunch Out Loud will air from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., followed by It’s Showtime, which will run until 3 p.m. The announcement also noted that LOL would continue to offer parts such as the dating game H.O.P.E., the showbiz quiz segment Maritest, and the Beat The 2 in which the presenters competed in responding to questions.

Then, during the It’s Showtime timeslot, the same portions, such as Tawag ng Tanghalan and others, are likely to be aired.

 “Dahil sa kolaborasyon ng ABS-CBN Entertainment, Brightlight Productions, Zoe Broadcasting Network, at TV5, mas maraming Pilipino pa sa bansa ang maaabot ng mga dekalidad na programa na magpapangiti sa mga manonood tuwing tanghali,” the statement stated.

Recently, a TV5 news source stated that the two noontime shows of the Kapamilya and Kapatid networks are planning a partnership. This sparked the interest of viewers of the two shows.
