In a social media art card, TV5 announced that its new morning show ‘Güd Morning Kapatid’ will begin airing on Monday, June 19, at 9:30 am.

TV5 has yet to release its revised schedule from June 19.
These changes come at the time when there is confusion surrounding the fate of another ABS-CBN show, noontime variety program ‘It’s Showtime.’ Confusion that is caused by the announcement of the transfer of TVJ and the rest of ‘Dabarkads’ on Wednesday morning. Currently, rumors are rife that ‘Showtime’ will either end its TV5 simulcast on June 30 or air via a delayed telecast at 4:00 pm to accomodate the new TVJ show. To date, both ABS-CBN and TV5 have not commented on the matter.
