ABS-CBN franchise renewal denied

The media giant can file a motion for reconsideration and lawmakers can also file a new bill seeking a new franchise for the network once Congress resumes session on July 27.

In case the committee voted yes or no on the renewal of franchise, recently explained that ABS-CBN could reapply for legislative franchise.

A total of 85 voting members were in the hearing, including 46 regular members , 39 ex-officio members or House leaders.

A “yes” vote means that a lawmaker wants to deny the franchise of ABS-CBN while a “no” vote means a lawmaker wants to grant the franchise.

With the decision, the matter of the ABS-CBN’s franchise was put to an end and it will no longer advance to the plenary level.
