ABS-CBN once operated the country’s largest TV network until President Duterte’s allies in the House of Representatives ended last year its bid for a new 25-year broadcast franchise. Duterte previously threatened to shut down ABS-CBN over unaired political ads during the 2016 elections.

This allowed ABS-CBN to air shows on A2Z Channel 11 in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
