On May 5, 2020, ABS-CBN was issued a cease-and-desist order by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida,[1] after the NTC refused to renew the network's franchise license earlier in February 2020. The franchise license expired on May 4, 2020, and a day later, ABS-CBN officially signed off in the evening.[2][3] On July 10, 2020, the House Committee on Legislative Franchises of the 18th Congress rejected the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN.[4][5] As a result, the network was forced to cease operations of some of its divisions and laid off its workers on August 31, 2020.[6]
After shutting down its terrestrial stations, ABS-CBN started distributing its shows on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z (DZOE-TV Channel 11 on analog free TV in Manila, DYPR-TV Channel 12 in Tacloban, and Channel 20 on digital TV nationwide), All TV (for TV Patrol, Magandang Buhay, It's Showtime, Goin' Bulilit, films produced by Star Cinema and past ABS-CBN shows via Jeepney TV), GMA Network (for It's Showtime and films produced by Star Cinema), TV5 (for ASAP Natin 'To and some programs from Primetime Bida and Yes Weekend! blocks), cable, satellite and online platforms. A2Z is a blocktime agreement between ABS-CBN Corporation and ZOE Broadcasting Network.
