ABS-CBN was the first television network in Southeast Asia to broadcast in color and one of the oldest commercial television broadcasters in Asia. It has also been theleading television network in the Philippineswith advertising revenues of 21.2 billionpesosfor the 2015 fiscal year.[14][15][16][17][18]

History[edit]

Main article:History of ABS-CBN

Bolinao Electronics Corporation (BEC) was founded on July 11, 1946.[23]It was established by James Lindenberg, one of the founding fathers of Philippine television[24][25]and an American electronics engineer who went into radio equipment assembly and radio broadcasting. In 1949, James Lindenberg shifted Bolinao to radio broadcasting with DZBC[26]and plannedthe introduction of television to the Philippines in 1953.[27]

The logo of Alto Broadcasting System (1953–1967).

In 1951, Lindenberg partnered with Antonio Quirino, brother of then-Philippine presidentElpidio Quirino,to try television broadcasting. In 1952, BEC was renamed Alto Broadcasting System or ABS (with Alto Sales Corporation as its corporate name).Altowas a contraction of Quirino's and his wife's first names, Tony and Aleli. Despite little money and resources, ABS was able to put up its TV tower by July 1953 and imported around 300 television sets. The initial test broadcasts began in September of the same year. The first full-blown broadcast was on October 23, 1953, at a party in Quirino's home. The first program to air was a garden party at the Quirino residence in Sitio Alto, San Juan. After the premiere telecast, the station followed a daily four-hour schedule from 6:00 to 10:00 PM.[27]

The logo of Chronicle Broadcasting Network (1956–1967).

ABS-CBN's first television broadcast was on October 23, 1953, as Alto Broadcasting System (ABS) on DZAQ-TV, three months after the first broadcast ofJapan'sNHK General TVandNippon Television.It is the first television network in Southeast Asia to broadcast in color, the first television network in the Philippines to formally launch a digital terrestrial television service, and the first broadcast television network in the Philippines to formally launch in HD.[28]

The flagshiptelevision stationof ABS-CBN wasDWWX-TV(ABS-CBN TV-2 Manila). As such, the network was informally referred to as "Channel 2" or "dos"(Spanishfortwo) even if the network was seen in other channel numbers elsewhere in the country. The network operated across the Philippine archipelago through theABS-CBN Regionaldivision which controlled 80 television stations.[14][29]Its programs are also available outside the Philippines through the global subscription television channelThe Filipino Channel(TFC). From 2011 to 2020, the network had on test broadcast fordigital terrestrial televisionusing the Japanese standardISDB-Tin select areas in the Philippines. On October 3, 2015, ABS-CBN started to broadcast inhigh-definition qualitythrough its affiliate direct-to-home cable and satellite television providers.[28]

As of May 5, 2020, all terrestrial broadcast operations have halted completely as per a cease-and desist order from the National Telecommunications Commission. All frequencies formerly assigned to ABS-CBN have since been reassigned to other networks, meaning if ABS-CBN's former stations were to start broadcasting again, they would have to do so on completely different frequencies.

Branding[edit]

The ABS-CBN logo features three main elements: the vertical line rooted in a horizontal origin, the three extending circles, and the text ABS-CBN.[30]

ABS-CBN's logo also has a horizontal version, usually used to save space as the main vertical logo usually takes up more space. The design of the horizontal version of the logo contains the ABS-CBN text, split into two parts, "ABS" and "CBN", without the dash connecting them, and ABS-CBN's iconic symbol squeezed in between them.

The first logo to have a horizontal version going by this design was the logo launched in 1986. From September 14, 1986 up until the final sign-off ofmain ABS-CBN terrestrial networkin May 5, 2020, the elements of the horizontal logo, text, and symbol were evenly sized. Since 2004 starting with the logo of ABS-CBN Store from 2004 to 2014, the horizontal logo is slightly larger than the Alto Broadcasting System (ABS) and Chronicle Broadcasting Network (CBN) names.

Controversies and scandals[edit]

Throughout the years, ABS-CBN has been involved in several controversies and scandals involving its talents, employees, and programs.

2004 copyright infringement with GMA[edit]

On July 22, 2004, during the arrival of Angelo de la Cruz (a truck driver who was held hostage and threatened with beheading inIraqabducted by armed rebels west ofBaghdadwhile trucking fuel fromSaudi Arabia) atNinoy Aquino International Airport,livebreaking newscoverage was aired onGMA Networkand other television stations in the Philippines. GMA Network used audio-video coverage fromReuters,which the network was subscribed to.[39]During the broadcast, a live feed from Reuters was simultaneously aired with its own live broadcast. During the first five seconds of the live feed, GMA Network noticed that the live feed from Reuters was also airing from its main competitor ABS-CBN. The live video was restricted only to ABS-CBN and Reuters did not inform GMA Network that the video coverage was only intended for ABS-CBN. The local Court of Appeals declined the case filed by ABS-CBN Corporation against GMA Network Inc. for allegations of illegal duplication of its live video footage. In a ruling, the local fourth division of the appellate court set aside the resolution of the local Justice Department, which approved the filing of the violation of Republic Act 8293 (or theIntellectual Property Code) against GMA Network. It ruled out that the act of GMA Network airing the live video coverage was focused on good faith since there was no intent to instigate damage to ABS-CBN.[40]The local court also said GMA Network acted in good faith when it immediately stopped using the live video feed from Reuters upon learning ABS-CBN was also covering the event and its following exertion to authenticate the ABS-CBN Corporation restriction arrangement with the news service, Reuters. The court also stressed that apart from the lack of intent of GMA Network to affect the video from ABS-CBN, the action did not contravene Sections 212.4 and 185.1 of Republic Act 8293 since it was a short excerpt.[41]

Wowoweescandals and incidents[edit]

Two major incidents involving ABS-CBN have involved the network's variety showWowowee.The first incident was a demand for tickets to a one-year anniversary episode of the show at thePhilSports Arenain 2006 causeda deadly crowd crushkilling 76 people.[42]Over a year later in August 2007, the show became entrenched in another scandal involving the possibility of a new game on the show beingriggedas evident by a "mechanical glitch" which occurred during an episode,[43]which grew greater afterEat Bulaga!hostJoey de LeonandWowoweehostWillie Revillamestarted exchanging attacks on-air against each other during their respective and competing shows.[44]The incident later led to a probe by theDepartment of Trade and Industryled by senatorMar Roxas(which was jokingly suggested by Joey during a speech he made onEat Bulaga!in reference to theHello Garci scandal,dubbing it "Hello Pappy" ).[45]

AGB Nielsen TV ratings scandal[edit]

Main article:AGB Nielsen Philippine TV ratings controversy

In late 2007, ABS-CBN and GMA Network accusedAGB Nielsen Philippinesof tampering with the ratings during their 2007 ratings surveys.[46][47]

ABS-CBN vs.Willing Williecopyright case[edit]

ABS-CBN demanded₱127 millionfrom their former reality show star, Willie Revillame, citing copyright infringement due to stark similarities in Revillame's show,Willing WillieonTV5,and ABS-CBN'sWowowee.[48][permanent dead link]ABS-CBN listed five acts of plagiarism allegedly committed by Willing Willie in their complaint as follows:[48]

  1. Willing Willie's opening song and dance number was similar to that of Wowowee's[48]
  2. "BIGA-Ten" and "Big Time Ka", both segments from the shows involved, bear similar names[48]
  3. "Willie of Fortune" and "Willtime Bigtime" are segments from both shows which resemble each other.[48]ABS-CBN claimed that Willtime Bigtime resembled its show as it also showcases contestants relaying their personal stories before proceeding to play a singing/trivia game.[48]
  4. April "Congratulations" Gustilo was one of several backup dancers from Wowowee who also appear in Willing Willie.[48]
  5. Other striking similarities ABS-CBN claimed are found inWilling Willie's set design, stage, studio viewers' seats lay-out, lighting angles and camera angles.[48]

A 25-page ruling dated May 22, 2015, dismissed the case against Revillame.[48]After the Quezon City RTC demanded a₱400 millionbond from Revillame to answer any further damage the network might sustain, the fee was waived.[48]

2020 franchise renewal controversy[edit]

Main article:ABS-CBN franchise renewal controversy

Since April 2017, ABS-CBN was attacked by former presidentRodrigo Duterte,as the network refused to air his 2016 presidential campaign ads in favor of asmear adpaid for by-then vice presidential candidateAntonio Trillanes.[49][50]However, according to the country'sCommission on Electionsspokesperson James Jimenez, the controversial ad was within election law, under "Partisan Political Activity".[51][52]Duterte publicly stated that he would oppose the 25-year franchise renewal of ABS-CBN, and formerLagunagovernorE.R. Ejercitosupported his plan.[53][54]Opposition lawmakers as well as labor groups objected to Duterte's stance on ABS-CBN, as the franchise's non-renewal would compromise the employees of the network; stating that the blocking of the franchise renewal had no merit. Opposition groups also claimed that the non-renewal of the franchise violates press freedom.[55]

Under Philippine law, broadcasting networks require a congressional franchise (Republic Act) to operate television and radio stations for 25 years; the absence of one will lead to the suspension of its operations. ABS-CBN's legislative franchise, which was approved by the virtue of Republic Act No. 7966 (granted last March 30, 1995), was scheduled to expire on May 4, 2020, because the franchise will become effective fifteen days after its publication on the Official Gazette on April 19, 1995.[56]At least 12 lawmakers have filed their own versions for a new franchise of the network. House SpeakerAlan Peter Cayetanoassured that Congress will tackle the franchise with fairness.[57]

On February 24, 2020, the CEO of the network apologized to Duterte for not airing his political advertisements during his 2016 polls, which Duterte accepted,[49]and Congress made its decision to investigate their franchise renewal.[58]

During aSenatehearing on the same day, public services panel chairGrace Poestated they were to investigate ABS-CBN's compliance with the terms and conditions of its franchise. The Senate concluded that there was no breach of laws or franchise terms.[59]

Wikinews has related news:

On May 5, 2020, theNational Telecommunications Commissionissued acease and desistorder to stop the network's broadcast, including its radio stationsDZMMandMOR,following the expiration of its broadcast franchise the day before.[60][61]The cease and desist order covers 42 television stations operated by ABS-CBN across the country, including Channel 2, 10 digital broadcast channels, 18 FM stations, and 5 AM stations.[62]

The network subsequently signed off followingTV Patrol.Along with the order, NTC wanted to recall ABS-CBN's assigned frequencies.[63]ABS-CBN explained that it would not be in public interest to have the frequencies recalled, as this would hinder their ability to immediately restart broadcasts in the event a new franchise was granted.[64]Additionally, there were fresh measures in the Congress to grant provisional franchise,[64]which later rolled into a series of hearings to grant a fresh 25-year franchise.[65][66]NTC was told to refrain from carrying out the recall by the Congress.[66]On July 10, 2020, members of the House of Representatives, voted 70–11 to deny ABS-CBN's renewal franchise application, citing several issues on the network's prior 25-year franchise.[67][68]According to a survey released by theSocial Weather Stationsfollowing the rejection of the network's franchise renewal, 75% of Filipinos want the network back.[69]
