    Franchise non-renewal and shutdown

    ABS-CBN’s broadcast franchise expired in 2020 and was not renewed after a politically contentious congressional process. The National Telecommunications Commission subsequently ordered the network’s free-to-air television and radio operations off the air. The episode became a major dispute concerning media regulation, press freedom, corporate compliance, and political power in the Philippines.
