The Office of Solicitor General advised the NTC to close down ABS-CBN TV Plus and Channel 43 since their operations were dependent on the franchise of ABS-CBN, which had expired in May.
the NTC issued against ABS-CBN supposedly already covered TV Plus and Channel 43, yet the commission still allowed the network’s shows to air through both platforms.
ABS-CBN's head of legal services Caesar Poblador said TV Plus was launched in 2015 in compliance with the NTC's digital migration plan introduced in 2014. ABS-CBN also has a block time arrangement with Amcara Broadcasting Network to air some shows through the latter's Channel 43.But ABS-CBN president and CEO Carlo Katigbak countered Cordoba, pointing out the CDO does not specifically list Channel 43 among those the network should close down.
