ABS-CBN Executive Officers Thank Employees & Supporters of Kapamilya Network
ABS-CBN EXECUTIVE OFFICERS – The Kapamilya executives expressed their gratitude to the employees and supporters of the ABS-CBN network.
The House Franchise Committee gave its decision to the franchise bid of the ABS-CBN network yesterday. The Kapamilya network’s franchise came to expiry and the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) released an order against them.
The NTC’s Cease and Desist Order prompted the network to put its broadcasting operation on off-air. It has been two (2) months now since the ABS-CBN News went off-air.
The people are divided with regard to the issue. Many are supporting the Kapamilya network while there are also those who are not in favor of granting a new franchise or letting the network renew its franchise.
Yesterday, 83 lawmakers voted on the ABS-CBN franchise bid. Seventy (70) of them voted for the denial of a new franchise to the network. Eleven (11) supported giving the network a new franchise while one (1) inhibited and one (1) abstained from voting.
