3 Ways To Make Next Year Better Than This One

 Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past.  Deuteronomy 32:7


Another year is history, and the firm but often unseen hand of God has written another chapter in the history of mankind.  Like the knots in a sailor's rope, or the trickle of sand through the hourglass, or the fenceposts along the highway, the coming of a new year is a marker in your life, in everyone's life.  Interested in making this coming year better than the one past?  Then today's three guidelines are just for you.  Three phases: forget, remember, and press on.


Guideline #1: Forget the past.  The cry "remember" is militant, and there are some things you need to remember, but there are other things which must be forgotten.  Like what?  Like your mistakes and failures, like your sins which are confesses and forgiven.  Forget your sorrows and disappointments, because they grow only heavier with each year you carry them.


Some folks live in a world of broken pieces and constantly dwell on their hurts and wrongs, the short end of the bargain, the way someone cheated them out of an inheritance, the rejection they experiences from someone they loved.  All these things are painful, but healing cannot take place until they are put behind you and essentially forgotten.


Paul stressed the importance of learning to forget, saying, "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the price for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13,14).  If you can't forget, which may mean forgiving, as well, you will go through the year bearing a burden which will certainly rob you of your joy.  The taste of revenge is never sweet nor worth what it costs in peace of mind and heart.


Guideline #2: Remember.  In God's Word, the Bible, we are told to remember about twice as many things as we are told to forget.  In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses wrote, "Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years…" (8:2). Again he urged, "Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past…" (Deuteronomy 32:7).


One of the reasons the memory capacity of our mind isn't so great is that we are always focusing on present needs rather than past victories; yet it builds our faith to remember the way God has met us in the past.  Remember when you were hospitalized and God met you, when your son or daughter was in trouble and you prayed and God heard you?  Remember when you were broke and unemployed and God sent a gift to meet your need?


Now if God met you yesterday, why can't you believe Him for today?  Try to remember that God never grows weary, that He knows your needs far better than even you yourself, that He knows when to answer your prayer and when it is best to let you learn the lesson of patient trust.


Guideline #3: Press forward with the Lord.  Problems and pressures will do one of two things: they will drive you further from the Lord or else they will gently push you toward Him.  It all depends on where you put yourself relationship to the problem.  Remember, dads, when your children were small, how you would take them for a walk along toward the sunset?  They would run ahead of you, not wanting to stay with you, until it grew dark.  Then, presently, a little hand would reach up for your larger hand, and the darker it grew, the closer they wanted to stay by your side.  That is the way it can be in the coming year.  Who knows what the year may bring forth?  But when you hold the hand of Him who holds the world, what need is there for worry?

#ABSCBNShutdown: How Philippines ended its leading broadcast network amid pandemic

One of the largest broadcasting networks in the Philippines faced the end of its longtime service to Filipinos when it was forced to shut down in 2020, leaving thousands of its employees jobless in the middle of a pandemic and global crisis.


On July 10, embattled ABS-CBN failed to secure its application for franchise renewal after the House Committee on Legislative Franchises voted 70-11, junking the network’s bid to return on air.


Apart from its flagship ABS-CBN channel, the Lopez-owned network also operates other brands such as ABS-CBN Sports and Action, DZMM Teleradyo, cable channels ABS-CBN News Channel or ANC, Cinema One, Jeepney TV, Knowledge Channel, Metro Channel, Myx, and global channel TFC.


The network also started offering digital TV boxes that carry KBO, a channel airing Filipino movies.


However, this was one of the two issues Solicitor General Jose Calida raised before the Supreme Court (SC) when he asked the high court to revoke the franchise of ABS-CBN, which by that time was set to expire on May 4, 2020.


The issue with the network and its owner, the Lopezes, and the government has stemmed a long way before the current administration.


Here is the timeline of events from the broadcast giant’s beginnings to its saga of franchise renewal:


February 24, 1957: Lawyer and businessman Eugenio Lopez Sr. acquired then Alto Broadcasting System owned by Aleli and Tony Quirino, the brother of former President Elpidio Quirino. This leads to the merger of ABS and Chronicle Broadcasting Network or CBN.


September 21, 1972: ABS-CBN, along with other broadcasting networks, was forced to shut down operations after then-President Ferdinand Marcos puts the entire nation under martial law.


September 16, 1986: The network finally resumed daily broadcasts nearly seven months after a “people power” revolt toppled the Marcos regime.


March 30, 1995: Former President Fidel Ramos signed Republic Act 7966 or otherwise known as an act granting the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation a franchise to construct, install, operate and maintain television and radio broadcasting stations in the Philippines granted the network its franchise until 4 May 2020.


September 11, 2014: Isabela Rep. Giorgidi Aggabao filed House Bill 4997, the first attempt to renew ABS-CBN’s franchise ahead of its March 2020 expiration. This does not get past the committee level.


June 11, 2016: ABS-CBN issued a statement in response to a newspaper report, stating that the network had applied for a new franchise in September 2014, but had to withdraw the application “due to time constraints.”


May 5, 2016: A 30-second political ad showing children raising questions about then Presidential candidate Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s foul language was aired on ABS-CBN and it explained it was “duty-bound to air a legitimate ad” based on election rules.


May 6, 2016: Former Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, Duterte’s then running mate for the presidential elections, gets a Taguig court to issue a temporary restraining order stopping ABS-CBN from airing TV commercials against Duterte.


November 10, 2016: Nueva Ecija Representative Micaela Violago filed House Bill 4349 seeking to renew the network’s franchise for a fresh 25-year. This was followed by a similar bill drafted by brothers Davao City Rep. Karlo Nograles and PBA Party-List Rep. Jericho Nograles. Both remain at the committee level.


March 30, 2017: President Duterte first publicly lashed out at ABS-CBN and the Philippine Daily Inquirer, calling the broadcast network “trash” and the newspaper “bullshit” over what he claimed was their unfair reporting.


April 27, 2017: Duterte accused ABS-CBN of “swindling” after the network failed to air a campaign ad he paid in 2016. He then threatened to block the network’s franchise bid.


August 30, 2018: Representatives Karlo Nograles and Jericho Nograles filed House Bill 8163 seeking to renew the network’s franchise.


November 8, 2018: Duterte once again cursed ABS-CBN’s chairman emeritus Gabby Lopez and reiterated his desire to reject the renewal of the network’s franchise.


July 1, 2019: The House Bill 4349 lapsed and was refiled by Violago in the 18th congress as HB 676 and signed by 20 more co-authors. Ten other bills are filed to give ABS-CBN a fresh legal mandate.


July 28, 2019: Senator Ralph Recto files a similar bill to extend ABS-CBN’s franchise for another 25 years. Detained former Sen. Leila De Lima later asked to be the co-author of the measure.


December 3, 2019: Duterte again said he will personally “see to it” that ABS-CBN will be out of business in 2020. He urged its owners, the Lopezes, to just sell the network.


February 10, 2020: The Office of Solicitor General Jose Calida filed before the Supreme Court a quo warranto petition against ABS-CBN for allegedly violating their franchise. He also claimed the network allowed foreign owners to control the company by selling Philippine Depositary Receipts to them and offering KBO as an entirely new TV channel.


The network denied the said allegations and was asked by the high court to submit a response in 10 days.


February 12, 2020: Sen. Grace Poe called for a hearing of her public services committee to look into ABS-CBN’s “compliance” with its 1995 franchise after the House remains unmoved by the franchise application.


Committee Vice-Chairman Isabela Rep. Antonio Albano Jr. also apologized to the estimated 11,000 workers of ABS-CBN for delays in discussing the franchise renewal.


House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano then vowed that the House will be “impartial” in tackling ABS-CBN’s franchise.


February 14, 2020: Despite staging bigger rallies, Cayetano said conducting hearings on the network’s franchise application was “not that urgent.”


February 18, 2020: Calida asked the Supreme Court to issue a gag order on ABS-CBN and “parties and persons acting on its behalf” and cited a digital explainer outlining the issues he raised in his quo warranto petition and the company’s response.


ABS-CBN Corporation and ABS-CBN Convergence, Inc. were given up to five days from receipt of the new petition to submit their response to the gag order plea.


February 24, 2020: Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said before the Senate Committee on Public Services that the National Telecommunications Commission can give a provisional authority for ABS-CBN to continue operating.


He noted that based on “equity,” the network should be allowed to stay on air even when its franchise expires on May 4, 2020.


ABS-CBN CEO and president Carlo Katigbak then clarified the unaired political ads. He also apologized for the negative ads, saying that it was not intended to offend the President.


February 26, 2020: The House Committee on Legislative Franchises asked the National Telecommunications Commission to issue a provisional authority for ABS-CBN’s continued operations while the chamber deliberated on its application for a new franchise.


In a speech, President Rodrigo Duterte accepted the network’s apology and told ABS-CBN to donate the PHP 2.9M political ad refund to charity


March 5, 2020: Lawyer Larry Gadon filed a “writ of prohibition” before the high court, questioning the House committee’s move instructing the NTC to grant provisional authority to ABS-CBN.


March 10, 2020: The Supreme Court deferred action on the Solicitor General’s petition seeking to take ABS-CBN off the air.


NTC also heeded Guevarra’s advice and told the House Committee on Legislative Franchises that it will issue a provisional authority to ABS-CBN.


March 11, 2020: Congress goes on recess without passing any of the bills granting a fresh 25-year franchise to ABS-CBN.


May 3, 2020: On the eve of the expiration of ABS-CBN’s franchise, Calida warned the NTC officials that they may face graft charges if they issue a provisional permit to the network. He said such authority could be given only if there’s a valid legislative franchise.


May 4, 2020: ABS-CBN’s franchise expires. Malacañang said it will not interfere and will let the NTC decide.


May 5, 2020: The NTC issues a cease and desist order (CDO) against ABS-CBN’s television and broadcast operations, citing the network’s expired franchise.


In compliance with the order, the network officially went off the air at 7:52 PM.


May 13, 2020: The House of Representatives approves on second reading a bill granting a provisional franchise to ABS-CBN Corp, valid through October 2020.


May 26, 2020: The House held its first hearing on ABS-CBN’s franchise bid, led by the Committee on Legislative Franchises, along with the Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability.


June 1, 2020: The House joint panels tackle for the first time the citizenship of ABS-CBN chairman emeritus Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III, which was being tied to supposed violations in media ownership rules under the 1987 Constitution.


The Department of Justice said Lopez is a Filipino citizen from birth.


June 11, 2020: For its fifth hearing, the House panel focuses on the Philippine Depositary Receipts, or PDRs, issued by ABS-CBN.


The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said ABS-CBN Holdings Corp. did not violate its regulations when it issued Philippine Deposit Receipts (PDRs).

June 23, 2020: The Supreme Court dismissed the Solicitor General’s quo warranto petition questioning ABS-CBN Corp’s franchise for it was “moot and academic.”


It earlier junked a petition filed by lawyer Lorenzo Gadon on the ground of having “no legal standing.”


June 29, 2020: During the eighth hearing, the NTC said it would heed the advice of the Office of the Solicitor General to shut down the Kapamilya Channel, which airs some of ABS-CBN Corp’s shows through cable and satellite television.


June 30, 2020: The NTC issued alias cease-and-desist orders against ABS-CBN’s digital broadcast on TVPlus in Metro Manila, and SKY’s satellite broadcast nationwide.

July 10, 2020: Voting 70-11, lawmakers denied the embattled media giant ABS-CBN’s bid for a fresh 25-year franchise.


September 4, 2020: media giant ABS-CBN’s aggressive plans to build more AM and FM radio and analog and digital UHF and VHF television transmitting stations for the rest of the year got its initial big push having secured 30 permits from local government units in Luzon, Visayas and in Mindanao.


Information gaps during the wall-to-wall media coverage of typhoons that occurred in the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2020, particularly Masbate earthquake, Typhoon Molave (Quinta), Typhoon Goni (Rolly), Typhoon Vamco (Ulysses) and Tropical Storm Krovanh (Vicky) - including the ensuing widespread floods in Cagayan Valley, Bicol Region and Caraga, were attributed to the ABS-CBN shutdown, with reports noting the void left by the closure of its provincial news bureaus and lack of a strong signal reach in provinces far from Manila.


October 24, 2020: ABS-CBN pays our deepest condolences to the families of the late director and loyal Kapamilya Al Quinn Pastrano he was passed away on this day at the age of 86 due to the CoVID-19 pandemic. Al was a director ABS-CBN's top-rated comedy sitcom Quizon Avenue (led by the King of Comedy Dolphy) and musical variety show Superstar (led by Superstar Nora Aunor) which was aired by RPN. He is also a director of some TV specials of the network such as Binibining Pilipinas and Airtime Marketing specials such as PMPC Star Awards (both in movies and television franchise), Box Office Entertainment Awards, FAMAS and Metro Manila Film Festival (awards night).


November 27, 2020: ABS-CBN released the lyric video of Ikaw ang Liwanag at Ligaya, its Christmas theme song featuring performances from 20 Kapamilya stars. The lyric video debuted during ABS-CBN’s newscast TV Patrol, after its advanced release earlier at noon on iWant TFC.

The song, penned by Robert Labayen and Love Rose de Leon with music by Thryo Alfaro, also highlights the love we share to our fellowmen and our gratitude to God, the primary source of light and joy of every family, ABS-CBN said.

December 1, 2020: ABS-CBN released its 2020 Christmas ID with the theme “Ikaw ang Liwanag at Ligaya.”

Set to the viral tune of the same title, the music video highlights stories of hope, light, and joy drawn from faith in God, amid the trying year that has seen a global health crisis, successive calamities, and other challenges.

These include the stories of Arjanmar and Khaye Rebeta, whose relationship was tested by the pandemic; Monching Bueno, who served frontliners despite his own loss; Rodolfo Ariño, a PWD breadwinner; and Peter Roncales, who braved odds to reunite with his loved ones.

December 3, 2020: According to Mr. Tony Boy Bautista on his Facebook account: "Hopefully, iWantTFC will be revamped."

Meanwhile, Buhay Party List Rep. Lito Atienza said that it is not a prediction but it will be true that ABS-CBN will reopen in 2021 now that Rep. Lord Allan Velasco is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. "It's not a prediction, that's a reality that will happen," I also asked about it. "I am really confident, justice will prevail by next year," he said. “They were maltreated, they were maltreated, they were eventually assassinated, so they should be given justice.

“I, I am just giving the new Speaker time to settle. We can't be surprised, major battle, he just sits. But I am not shying away from the responsibility and for the opportunity to come - that I’m working on - so that we can return to the floor discussion. Not the special firing squad. The one who killed ABS-CBN, just firing squad, eh,” he said.

December 4, 2020: Boyet Baldemor is the new director of It's Showtime (later replaced by MTB), replacing Bobet Vidanes moved to Lunch Out Loud of TV5.

At a media event held by the network’s talent agency, fittingly titled “Star Magic Shines On,” ABS-CBN president and CEO Carlo Katigbak and newly appointed Star Magic head Laurenti Dyogi each thanked Kapamilya stars who continue to be part of the company.

The event saw eight current Star Magic artists — Kim Chiu, Jane de Leon, Enchong Dee, JM de Guzman, Andrea Brillantes, Kira Balinger, Joseph Marco, and Robi Domingo — sign exclusive contracts with ABS-CBN.

It also introduced new Star Magic talents — the ABS-CBN-trained P-pop groups BINI and Star Hunt Academy Boys — who similarly inked contracts with the network.

“Ang hirap-hirap po ng taong 2020,” Katigbak said in a speech opening the event. “But ABS-CBN has always been at its best in its most difficult times. This year is no exception.”

Compounding the halt of showbiz due to the coronavirus pandemic, ABS-CBN was denied a fresh broadcast franchise by the Duterte administration, forcing it off free television and radio, and resulting in the retrenchment of thousands of its workers.

“Our commitment to serve the public is the foundation of our company,” Katigbak said. “And so, even without everything that we’re used to, we have not stopped finding new ways to be in the service of the Filipino.”

Katigbak then addressed the stars, whom he said “represent ABS-CBN to the world outside.”

“Kayo po ang nagbibigay ng liwanag at ligaya sa ating mga Kapamilya,” he said, referencing the recently released ABS-CBN Christmas ID.

“Thank you for choosing to be part of our mission. Thank you for believing in our company. And thank you for supporting us in our most difficult moments.”

Over the months since ABS-CBN’s free-TV and radio broadcast were forced shut, many of its stars, both homegrown and long-time contract talents, rallied behind the network through social media and by joining demonstrations.

Among them were the eight Star Magic artists who formalized being an exclusive ABS-CBN talent on Friday.

“I hope you believe, as we do, that working in ABS-CBN is not just a career move, it’s not just a job; it’s a calling to serve.”

Katigbak ended his message by introducing Dyogi as the new head of Star Magic, succeeding founder Johnny Manahan and Mariole Alberto.

“Thank you to Mr. M and Mariole, Star Magic is known to produce, to hone, and to manage the brightest and most talented stars in Philippine show business,” Dyogi said.

“Today, we continue this legacy and tradition.”

Dyogi, known in showbiz as Direk Lauren following his visible stints as “Star Circle Quest” judge and “Pinoy Big Brother” director, is also head of ABS-CBN’s entertainment production.

“As we welcome new artists to the Star Magic family,” he said, “we also want to express our deepest gratitude to the Star Magic artists chose to stay with us, as we continue to rebuild and explore new opportunities.”

December 5, 2020: Angelica Panganiban gives hint to the nearest ending of their hit drama series Walang Hanggang Paalam.


December 18, 2020: According to Tonyboy Bautista: "The Earth will be destroyed by the giant ball of fire from the outer space one year from now." It will not happen, because it's normal year, also the 500th anniversary of Christianity in the country.

December 20, 2020: ABS-CBN garnered over 40 distinctions, including Best TV Station, at the 18th Gawad Tanglaw for the news and entertainment it has provided Filipinos in the previous year.

ABS-CBN president and chief executive officer Carlo Katigbak was also awarded with the Gawad Natatanging Filipino sa Pamamahalang Broadcast Media (Telebisyon at Radyo), while Kapamilya stars Angel Locsin and Enchong Dee were recipients of the Gawad Tanglaw para sa Sining ng Sangkatauhan and Gawad Natatanging Kabataang Filipino para sa Sining at Kultura, respectively.

ABS-CBN Integrated News was a big winner with flagship newscast “TV Patrol” (including “TV Patrol Weekend”) winning Best News Program while “Heroes in the Hot Zone” and ANC’s “Beyond Politics” took home Best TV Documentary and Best Public Affairs Show, respectively.

In entertainment, “ASAP Natin ‘To” got the nod as Best Variety Show, “MMK” won Best Drama Anthology, and “Pamilya Ko” notched this year’s Best Drama Series award. Irma Adlawan’s moving performance in the “Passport” episode of “Maalaala Mo Kaya” also won her Best Actress in a Single Performance. Former “The General’s Daughter” co-stars Maricel Soriano, Janice De Belen, Eula Valdez, and Angel Locsin were co-winners in the Best Actress in a Drama Series category, while Arjo Atayde won Best Actor in a Drama Series for the role he played in the same program.

Gawad Tanglaw also presented the Jury Award for Arts and Sciences in Philippine Television (Posthumous) to the late Gina Lopez for her role in the creation of classic ETV shows “Hiraya Manawari,” “Sine’skwela,” and “MathTinik,” the travel and environmental show “G Diaries,” and Knowledge Channel. Documentary series “Dayaw,” which is hosted and conceptualized by Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda, was also honored with the Jury Award for Culture and Arts in Philippine Television.

No franchise, no problem and even those other than the Kapamilya Artists have taken over the fence, you are the show must go on.

They should show these on Kapamilya Channel instead of the old rerun shows and the Kapamilya Box Office.

"Together as one sa IWantTFC: Count Your Lucky Stars, Tenement 66, Horrorscope, Hoy I Love You, A Tale of a Thousand Stars and Unloving You"

let's wait and see.

Even the Star Cinema series. Guess we'll just have to wait.

2021 is an exciting year to wait.

yes .. especially with the vaccine we can see the full potential of their shift to digital new media and whether there will be a franchise.

For me, the situation is ok first because at least the digital sector of ABS-CBN has developed.

They don't push too much to get the franchise, especially since Marcoleta and the gang are heating them up, maybe later ABS-CBN's properties in Mother Ignacia will also be stolen.

I can't wait either .. Let's just wait for the next election.

but they apply right? It's a pity because the regional stations.

As far as I know, they have not applied again .. Lito Atienza just became vocal about giving the franchise again next year on ABS-CBN so the issue resounded even if only the regional stations could come back and DZMM on radio for in the news.

Teleradyo is still available on iWantTFC and cable and there is still an ABS-CBN Radio App in the app store .. MOR Philippines will also be re-launched on digital platforms.

how about those in far flung areas where internet is not accessible? It's a pity

By 2022 maybe, slowly first, it will also rise; willing to wait po

There is no pity there .. they got up when Martial Law is still here so true boss, the one in IWant TFC would have been released on Kapamilya Channel puro rerun lang kasi sa weekend hahaha

I kinda get the reason why not .. they want to rake new subscribers to iWantTFC like Netflix.

in fact, it seems like the ads are really low as long as cable and satellite TV. So maybe they just prefer digital platforms.
 
You forgot that they are also on free TV analog and digital and there are too many ads .. There are really dead timeslots that are much better for them not to air new shows for no loss .. Automatic because they can also be aired on Kapamilya Online Live by chance .. so for him to be exclusive, only at iWantTFC so that they can force people to subscribe. They also make a lot of money with adsense.

December 24, 2020: Abraham Baladad, Jr., head of Technical Production Systems of ABS-CBN News Digital Media, died after battling cancer.


"At muli rin nagbalik as Kapamilya Channel kaya lang sa cable, iWantTFC, Kapamilya Online Live sa Facebook at YouTube"

Good thing na iba ito sa nangyari sa kanila noong Martial Law. They can still operate at least on Cable and Satellite TV in the meantime. Matatagalan pa talaga bago sila mabigyan ng bagong prangkisa. Or better wait for new administration na umupo. (Good thing this is different from what happened to them during Martial Law. They can still operate at least on Cable and Satellite TV in the meantime. It will be a long time before they are given a new franchise. Or better wait for new administration to sit down.)

Have you ever heard of plot twist? I am not a Kapamilya but we know that they are still influential? Yes I do. But you need to see the possible scenarios. Daming balimbing in Congress and Senate. Unless they will use this opportunity to show elegance for 2022 elections. But who knows what will happen in the future.

There is one in a million scenarios. 2021 is significant year to begin with. (no politicking intended) The underlying reason with what I've said is politics. Will some of them need ABS-CBN to increase their chances? Yes. All of them? No. I am sure that this franchise fiasco will end this year. 2022 is coming.

There have been pronouncements to renew the ABS-CBN franchise this 2021. Cayetano's allies who voted for franchise denial in Congress, Velasco is being replaced by some of his allies, pro-ABS-CBN congressmen.

This year would be an exciting year for ABS-CBN.

After series of consultations and meetings on the resumption of ABS-CBN as a TV channel including its sister S+A (later as A23), radio stations DZMM and DWRR from September 2020 to August 2021. These are the lifting of temporarily suspension of live studio audience admission in television programs and the lifting of banning all cigarette advertisements in print, radio, television and billboards as well as sponsorship by tobacco companies of sports, cultural or educational events would repeal Republic Act No. 9211 or Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003 and Republic Act No. 10643 or the Graphic Health Warnings Law of 2014 as well the resumption of its businesses.

John Prats, Isabel Oli to start 2021 with construction of new home

Celebrity couple John Prats and Isabel Oli are immediately marking a milestone at the open of 2021: the start of the construction of their new home.

In their latest YouTube vlog entry, Prats and Oli shared their Christmas Day trip to the lot where their house will be built, with a breathtaking view of the city.


“I can’t wait [na itayo] ‘yung bahay namin dito next year which is five days na lang, itatayo na siya. Uumpisahan na siya,” Oli said.


Prats and Oli got to the location by motorcycle — their first ride together in their eight years as a couple.


Prats first shared a glimpse of the lot in October, writing on Instagram at the time: “A house is made with walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.”


 

Prats and Oli got married in 2015. They have three children together.

Formal resumption of radio and television broadcasts for ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN is strongly considering the suggestion of Rep. Jose Atienza, Jr. to re-apply for a new franchise come 2021.


Speaking about ABS-CBN and the coming of the vaccine on 2021 and the pandemic will end this 2021. I saw some new shows for 2021 on ABS-CBN earlier on Ikaw ang Liwanag at Ligaya: the ABS-CBN Christmas special 2020 on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z Channel 11, TFC and IWant TFC. I hope when ABS-CBN is back all the new shows will be perfect for the comeback of ABS-CBN on free TV.

According to Aldrine Polido: My predictions: On 2022, if ABS-CBN will granted its new franchise by the Congress at naresolba na ang mga issues na ibinabato sa kanila through major reforms, Here are my possible predictions what will happen on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z 11: Kapamilya Channel will likely to convert as an Asian Channel. Baka dito muna pansamantala ipapalabas ang mga playback ng mga dating Asianovelas plus movies local and internatipnal with anime block from Yey! A2Z 11 will likely convert to news TV plus sports TV. Lahat ng mga movies, asianovelas and anime ay ipapalabas sa Kapamilya Channel while news and sports sa A2Z kapag naibalik na sa free TV ang ABS-CBN.

Wrong in such hahaha. Analog television applications are said to be freezed, therefore, if ABS-CBN wants to have simulcast of their programs analog-digital, probably A2Z that will be carry-over. Kapamilya Channel will rebrand or will go defunct. Siyempre, they will banner their name, ABS-CBN on its return. Their sports division will probably be formed again but on digital. 2022? Haha. Abangan ang susunod na kabanata.

2023 magshushutdown ang analog. A2Z have Channel 20 as a digitalized channel.

Hanggang 2024 pa ang blocktime agreement between Zoe and ABS-CBN. Pero ang pagkakaalam ko if ABS-CBN will be back on air via Free TV, ang aalisin lang siguro diyan sa program lineup ni A2Z is yung mga ibang shows ng ABS like ASAP, Its Showtime, MMK etc.

Moving date as mentioned previously. It means maybe later or earlier. Also, it takes one or two years pa. Bagama't malapit na, siyempre dahil ABS-CBN is a big entity and nabawi na nga yung frequency nila. Acquisition of frequency and if ever, simulcasting their main channel on analog is their options.

my guess if the blocktime is profitable then A2Z can be used as a duplicate feed of ABS-CBN on primetime since di hamak na mas malakas signal nila sa analog (100kw) sing linaw daw nila GMA, just like what they did with Studio 23 during the Meteor Garden craze and TV Patrol's then popularity until 24 Oras was launched.

Again, analog television application is said on freeze. Obviously, the blocktime agreement, if and if the ASO is beyond 2023. Most probably, ABS-CBN will still put their programs on A2Z in analog.

Kung mawawala na ang analog after 2023, all channels like PTV, ABS-CBN, GMA, ABC etc. will likely convert to digital or still may analog pa sa mga Free TV? yes kasi mandated na yung analog shut off by then. Kung pwede nga gawin ng mas maaga the better kasi marami naman na ang nakakabili ng ISDB-T boxes for as low as 799 at ISDB-T ready TVs eh.

As for the ABS-CBN franchise, sa tingin ko pwede sya ma-grant ng mas maaaga siguro before 2022 elections.

Posible kasing gamitin ng ilang congressmen yang franchise renewal sa kanilang mga kampanya or sa pagpapabango ng pangalan nila sa mga constituents nila. Dagdag pa ang reshuffling of House committee chairmanship posts under Speaker Velasco.

if marerevive ng ABS-CBN ang sports division nila, mukhang malabo na nilang makuha ang UAAP, NCAA, MPBL, PVL and One Championships dahil under contract na sila sa ibang network. Ang magagawa na lang nila is to air international sports leagues like MLB, NHL, UEFA, PGA, NCAA March Madness, X-Games etc. NBA, 50-50 pa since 3 year lang ang contract nito sa Cignal-TV5. Pwede namang makipagsanib pwersa sa TV5 to air NBA Games. What do you think?

as of now MPBL and PVL has no TV carrier, possible na mapunta sila either sa PTV or GMA.

As long as nakarecover na financially ang ABS-CBN at kaya nila bayaran ang airing rights ng mga foreign leagues na binanggit mo, it's possible.

GMA for PVL while MPBL mukhang malabo sa GMA especially sa News TV because may mga mababangga silang schedule especially kapag 3-game sked sila. Naaapektuhan nga ang 1st game nila kadalasan because of UAAP, NCAA and PVL nong nasa ABSCBN S and A pa ito. Much better for MPBL na gawing mas maaga ang games nila especially triple header ang laro nila. PTV 4 will be possible. Pero ang masaklap diyan is mababangga ang News @ 6 nila. Ang kailangan ng PTV is to adjust their broadcast hours.

Lahat ng yan puwedeng bumalik sa Dos maliban sa NCAA hahaha.

My thoughts on this is, kapag matapos ng kontrata, babalik ang UAAP and some of the other sports leagues sa ABS-CBN Sports once bumalik na sila sa free TV.

Dito naman sa suggestion mo tungkol sa foriegn sports leagues, papatok ba yan sa masa besides the NBA and the NCAA? Remember when TV5 acquired the NFL and the Super Bowl? I mean pwede naman, pero as I’ve said before na the local leagues will probably go back to ABS-CBN once they go back to free TV at natapos na ang contracts nila.

Well. Let's find out on 2023 if analog television broadcasts in this country has pulled out and move to fully digital format

Just I see. Pero palagay ko in case of MPBL, sakaling maging maaga ang games nila ex. 2 PM, posibleng maapektuhan ang timeslot ng UAAP in case na bumalik ito sa ABS-CBN. All have to is to adjust schedules alloted for MPBL. Ibang games lang ang napapalabas nila ng live then yung iba on the next day na via delayed basis.

Ang Delta naman, pwedeng maging isang digitalized channel sa TV. Kasi since pandemic ay hindi na televised sa IBC 13 ang El Shaddai

Bro. Aldrine, ipagdasal natin na magsahimpapawid na ang Delta Broadcasting System via digitalize Channel 35, para hindi na maiwan ng teknolohiya

(According to Aldrine Polido: My predictions: On 2022, if ABS-CBN will be granted its new franchise by the Congress and the issues being thrown at them through major reforms have been resolved, Here are my possible predictions of what will happen on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z 11: Kapamilya Channel will likely to convert as an Asian Channel. Maybe the playbacks of former Asianovelas plus local and international movies with anime block from Yey will be released here temporarily! A2Z 11 will likely convert to news TV plus sports TV. All movies, asianovelas and anime will be aired on Kapamilya Channel while news and sports on A2Z when ABS-CBN is restored to free TV.

Wrong in such hahaha. Analog television applications are said to be freezed, therefore, if ABS-CBN wants to have simulcast of their analog-digital programs, probably A2Z that will be carry-over. Kapamilya Channel will go defunct. Of course, they will banner their name, ABS-CBN on its return. Their sports division will probably be formed again but on digital. 2022? Haha. Stay tuned for the next chapter.

2023 analog shutdown. A2Z have Channel 20 as a digitalized channel.

The blocktime agreement bet is until 2024. Zoe TV and ABS-CBN. But as far as I know if ABS-CBN will be back on air via Free TV, the only thing that will probably be removed from A2Z's program lineup are other ABS-CBN shows like ASAP, Its Showtime, MMK etc.

Moving date as mentioned previously. It means maybe later or earlier. Also, it takes one or two more years. Although it is close, of course because ABS-CBN is a big entity and their frequency has been recovered. Acquisition of frequency and if ever, simulcasting their main channel on analog is their options.

my guess if the blocktime is profitable then A2Z can be used as a duplicate feed of ABS-CBN on primetime since they have a much stronger signal than the analog (100kw) clear GMA, just like what they did with Studio 23 during the Meteor Garden craze and TV Patrol's then popularity until 24 Oras was launched.

Again, analog television application is said on freeze. Obviously, the blocktime agreement, if and if the ASO is beyond 2023. Most probably, ABS-CBN will still put their programs on A2Z in analog.

If analog is lost after 2023, all channels like PTV, ABS-CBN, GMA, ABC etc. will likely convert to digital or still have analog on Free TVs? yes kasi mandated na yung analog shut off by then. If it can be done earlier the better because many can already buy ISDB-T boxes for as low as 799 and ISDB-T ready TV's.

As for the ABS-CBN franchise, I think he can be granted sooner maybe before the 2022 elections.

It is even possible for some congressmen to use franchise renewal in their campaigns or in promoting their constituents. The reshuffling of House committee chairmanship posts under Speaker Velasco.

if ABS-CBN revives their sports division, it looks like they will not win the UAAP, NCAA, MPBL, PVL and One Championships because they are already under contract with another network. All they can do is to air international sports leagues like MLB, NHL, UEFA, PGA, NCAA March Madness, X-Games etc. NBA, 50-50 more since its contract with Cignal-TV5 is only 3 years. TV5 to air NBA Games can join forces. What do you think?

as of now MPBL and PVL has no TV carrier, it is possible that they will either go to PTV or GMA.

As long as ABS-CBN recovers financially and they can pay the airing rights of the foreign leagues you mentioned, it's possible.

GMA for PVL while MPBL seems vague on GMA especially on News TV because they have collision schedules especially when they are 3-game sked. Their 1st game is usually affected because of UAAP, NCAA and PVL when it was still in ABSCBN S and A. Much better for MPBL to make their games earlier especially their triple header game. PTV 4 will be possible. But the sad thing is that their News @ 6 will collide. What PTV needs is to adjust their broadcast hours.

All of that can go back to ABS-CBN except the NCAA hahaha.

My thoughts on this is, when the contract expires, the UAAP and some of the other sports leagues will return to ABS-CBN Sports once they return to free TV.

Here is your suggestion about foriegn sports leagues, will it be popular with the masses besides the NBA and the NCAA? Remember when TV5 acquired the NFL and the Super Bowl? I mean it can, but as I’ve said before the local leagues will probably go back to ABS-CBN once they go back to free TV and their contracts are over.

Well. Let's find out on 2023 if analog television broadcasts in this country has pulled out and move to fully digital format

Just I see. But I think in case of MPBL, in case their ex games get early. 2 PM, it is possible that the UAAP timeslot will be affected in case it returns to ABS-CBN. All have to is to adjust schedules alloted for MPBL. They can only play other games live then the others on the next day via delayed basis.

Delta, on the other hand, can be a digitalized TV channel. Because since the pandemic, El Shaddai is no longer televised on IBC 13.

Let us pray that the Delta Broadcasting System will air via digitalize Channel 35, so that technology will not be left behind

On December 29, 2020, ABS-CBN's shares shares added 6 centavos or -.51 percent to finish at P11.68 each.

Iba talaga ABS-CBN kahit walang prangkisa, lowest nila around 6 pesos noong off air sila, then unti-unting tumaas nung nagpapahaging si Vice Ganda ng free-to-air comeback until ABS-CBN and ZOE TV deal was finally announced, naging two-digit ang share price. Maganda mag invest na kayo ngayon sa stocks, I have shares na dyan eh. Preparation na lang if ABS-CBN franchise gets renewed

tama ka sir if ever ma-renew yan bubulusok paitaas stock price niyan pag tumuntong ng 20 mahigit malamang huli na.

Yes possible yan if ABS-CBN will have at least a nationwide free TV analog and digital comeback between 2021-2022.

(ABS-CBN is really different even without a franchise, they lowest around 6 pesos when they were off air, then gradually increased when Vice Ganda shared a free-to-air comeback until ABS-CBN and ZOE TV deal was finally announced, became two share the share price. It's good that you are investing in stocks now, I have shares there. Just preparation if ABS-CBN franchise gets renewed

you're right sir if it ever to renew it will plummet up its stock price when stepping on 20 more is probably too late

Yes it is possible if ABS-CBN will have at least a nationwide free TV analog and digital comeback between 2021-2022)

Network executives led by chairman Mark Lopez and president and chief executive officer Carlo Katigbak began the arduous task of resuming broadcasts.

(News Patrol & Headline Pilipinas, was relocated to Studio 12 where the former studio of Studio 23's The Score is based). The relocation, through, brought TV Patrol in line with the other primetime news broadcasts in several countries.

From June 25 to 29, 2022, the main studio for Headline Pilipinas, TV Patrol, Bandila and The World Tonight underwent major renovations, that caused both programs to be broadcast temporarily from the ABS-CBN News' newsroom.
