NTC orders ABS-CBN to shut down operations

THE National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) ordered embattled media giant ABS-CBN to stop its broadcast and radio operations, a day after its legislative franchise expired.

As ABS-CBN continued its business on Tuesday , the NTC issued a cease and desist order against the network.

The NTC said that ABS-CBN “no longer has a valid and subsisting congressional franchise” to continue broadcasting on radio and television.

Once the government-run regulator receives ABS-CBN’s response, the NTC will schedule the case for hearing, to be set after the lockdown.
