[1] The franchise license expired on May 4, 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 has denied the renewal of ABS-CBN's broadcasting franchise.

After shutting down its terrestrial and regional stations, ABS-CBN started distributing its own programs on Kapamilya Channel (a cable channel), [8] Kapamilya Online Live (a web-based channel), [9] and A2Z (a free-to-air channel in partnership with ZOE Broadcasting Network).
