Accordingly, a block time agreement was settled between the ABS-CBN and Zoe TV which means some Kapamilya shows may now be viewed on their channel partner.
Zoe TV which currently uses Channels 11 and 33, is owned by Jesus is Lord church leader, Bro. Eddie Villanueva.
Recently, Vice Ganda hinted about the comeback of ABS-CBN to free TV.
During the online broadcast of It’s Showtime, the comedian dropped several clues that point out the come back of their network.
“Abang abang kayo diyan.”
“Ayokong magsalita, baka mapagalitan.”
“Di ba sabi ko naman sa inyo, madlang people. Better days are coming.”
On July 10, Congress curtailed the media giant’s rights to air and broadcast as they voted for the non-renewal of the ABS-CBN’s franchise.
Their decision pushed the media company to undergo a retrenchment program and let go of most of its employees.
Despite the setbacks, the networks strived to continue their service to the Filipino people by providing news and entertainment using different online platforms like Facebook and YouTube.
Their block time agreement with Zoe TV indicates how they try to seek other ways to deliver their broadcast amidst their channel’s shutdown.
