Clarification of News Report
We write in reply to the Exchange’s request for clarification to the news article entitled "Regal comeback” posted in Daily Tribune on February 27, 2024, it was reported in part that: “A strong undercurrent is threatening to shake up the broadcast industry due to stories in the grapevine that ABS-CBN would likely make a comeback after losing its franchise in the previous regime. After President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was sworn in, the National Telecommunications Commission awarded the frequencies of ABS-CBN to Villar’s Advanced Media Broadcasting System. Without a broadcasting franchise, the Lopez group which owns ABS-CBN, sold its assets to former Senator Manny Villar’s ALLTV network. Rumors has it that ABS-CBN will get back all its assets which may mean that the Lopezes are confident of retaking their erstwhile jewel, possible with a new franchise. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said there is no reason to deny the broadcast firm a fresh franchise ‘if the issues raised during the hearings conducted by the House of Representatives are resolved.’ . . . .” ABS-CBN Corporation disposed of assets that the company no longer needed to various broadcasting networks after we ceased operations as a broadcasting company. It is not true that ABS-CBN is applying for a new franchise nor does it intend to buy back any of the assets it sold.
