Located in New Manila, Quezon City, the Westside Theater cinema of the Broadway Centrum was converted into a high-end live studio in 1987 to serve as an alternative studio for the network's programs. The 700-seater studio was inaugurated to usher in GMA's broadcast in Stereovision. In the 1990s, the Broadway Centrum served as the live studio of GMA's variety shows, "Lunch Date", "That's Entertainment", "Vilma!" and "GMA Supershow". In 1995, the network built a second studio inside Broadway Centrum by renovating the Eastside Theater cinema (renaming it TAPE Studios and can accommodate 400 studio audiences), which was home to Eat Bulaga!. Once one of the most modern broadcast facility in the country, it was later renovated in 2000 when the musical variety show SOP moved to Studio 3 (now Studio 5) of the GMA Network Center. In 2003, it accommodated live studio audiences once more as it served as the live venue of the eliminations of the reality-based talent search StarStruck.

In October 2008, majority of GMA shows migrated to the GMA Network Studios after inauguration, leaving the original Broadway Centrum with no major tenant. But on January 1, 2010, noontime show "Eat Bulaga" started to broadcast live temporarily from the Westside Theater with a newly renovated stage while their main studios at TAPE was given a major makeover. The new TAPE Studios was inaugurated on March 6, 2010. GMA Eastside's Theater houses the noontime show Eat Bulaga! while the Westside's theater was given to TV5 that produces programs P.O.5, Star Factor, and Face to Face.
