No more “TV Patrol” and “Ang Probinsyano” on TV Plus?
Actor Coco Martin hits NTC anew on the latter's new blow to ABS-CBN. "Unti-unti nyo kaming pinapatay. Unti-unti nyong pinapatay ang kaligayahan ng mamamayang Pilipino," the actor said.
The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) dealt ABS-CBN a new blow on Monday, telling lawmakers it would stop the shuttered media network from airing its shows via digital channel on its TV Plus service.
NTC Commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba told a joint House panel the regulatory body would follow the Solicitor General’s recommendation to issue a follow-up order directing ABS-CBN to cease broadcasting on Channel 43 on a frequency owned by an affiliate, Amcara Broadcasting Network.
He said ABS-CBN was effectively operating on an expired license by using Amcara’s franchise.
Though ABS-CBN heeded NTC’s May 5 order to stop its radio and TV operations, it has resumed airing some of its shows, including its flagship newscast and prime time series, on cable and satellite TV channels not covered by the 25-year franchise, which expired on May 4.
That includes its TV Plus set-top boxes, which carry other free-to-air channels as well as ABS-CBN’s pay-per-view movie service. By: Albert Reyes, Reporter
