Cancellation
With nothing more to prove as far as ratings were concerned, the GMA management decided to cancel
SOP Gigsters in October 2006 and replaced it with
Kapuso Movie Festival. Prior to
SOP Gigsters cancellation, its competitor
ASAP Fanatic was also cancelled a month earlier. Hosts Richard and Raymond Gutierrez were absorbed in
SOPs roster of co-hosts while the other members of
Gigsters such as Mark Herras, Ryza Cenon, Mike Tan, Marky Cielo and Dion Ignacio were able to secure prime spots in
SOP as featured performers.
