Television and Production Exponents Inc. (also known as TAPE Inc.) is a Philippine television production company established on July 7, 1981[1] and is a blocktimer of GMA Network Inc. (after Radio Philippines Network and ABS-CBN Corporation). It was founded by Romeo Jalosjos Sr. with Antonio "Tony" Tuviera.[2][3] It is known as the former producer of the longest running noontime variety show (and franchise) Eat Bulaga!, among several Philippine television dramas. The offices and production studios are located at Xavierville Avenue, Loyola Heights, Quezon City. After Tuviera's retirement as a CEO in March 2023, Romeo “Jon-Jon” M. Jalosjos Jr. took over his role before the Sotto brothers alongside Joey De Leon resigned at the end of May due to internal conflicts between them and the new management of the production company. In January 2024, TAPE changed their noontime show title from Eat Bulaga! to Tahanang Pinakamasaya due to the trio of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon winning their cancellation case of the trademark, which would later retain the name for their noontime show on TV5.
