Willie Revillame Cut Ties with GMA-7 in Favor of Manny Villar's AMBS Channel 2

GMA Network announced on Saturday that Willie Revillame’s contract with the network is set to end on February 15 and his show "Wowowin" will air its finale episode on Friday, February 11.

“We wish him good luck in his future endeavors,” GMA Network said in a statement.

Reports have it that Willie opted not to renew his contract with the Kapuso network to join the newly owned network Advanced Media Broadcasting Systems (AMBS) of close friend and business partner Manny Villar.

On Saturday, veteran showbiz columnist Lolit Solis, in her recent IG post, said that Willie and GMA Network parted ways amicably, contrary to rumors that Willie cut ties with Kapuso network to join Manny Villar's network.

"Walang paghahabol na naganap, walang alok na ibinigay, basta end of contract, iyon na. Ang maliwanag, tinapos ng GMA-7 ang kontrata kay Willie at walang alok na bago kaya hayun, kailangang maghanap ng bagong bahay ang programa niya."

However, Solis' claims contradict to a series of FB posts of Anna Feliciano, Willie's longtime aide, showing Villar and daughter, Congressman Camille Villar (who voted "No" to ABS-CBN franchise renewal) visit to Willie in his vacation house in Tagaytay last Saturday.

Said posts come with a caption that reads, "Thank you former Sen. Manny Villar and Cong. Camille Villar for the visit" and "When something ends, something starts. Sana hindi nyo kami iwan."

AMBS is reportedly scheduled to air its test broadcast starting February 14.
