House bill renewing ABS-CBN franchise filed<br /><br />Albay 2nd District Rep. Joey Salceda says he files a bill that will grant a franchise to ABS-CBN Corporation during a media interview on Jan. 7, 2025 at the House of Representatives. Salceda said that he wanted to have a 'free market of ideas' in the broadcast industry and that there should be competition among Philippine media companies. ABS-CBN's franchise was not renewed after it expired in 2020.<br /><br />VIDEO BY RED MENDOZA<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br />Sign up to our newsletters: https://tmt.ph/newsletters<br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#themanilatimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#philippines
