MANILA, Philippines — One of the country's media outlet ABS-CBN is facing another unfortunate event after their media frequency franchise was not renewed. Now! one of their social media online platform has been terminated. The company's YouTube channel with more than 10 million subscribers is now investigating the said event.

We are currently investigating this and working closely with YouTube to resolve the problem. In the meantime, you can catch our livestreams and news reports on the TeleRadyo Channel. Thank you for your patience and understanding."
If you're going to search the said channel on YouTube, you'll no longer find the ABS CBN News YouTube channel. Some source says that the allegedly reason is because of the "violation of YouTube’s Terms of Service"

And now they turned down the account. Okay Filipinos we are on our own now. Keep safe and let’s double our efforts to be informed in everything."
Last July, 70 congressman in the House of Representatives’ legislative franchises committee voted against granting ABS-CBN a new franchise.
