ABS-CBN Corp. yesterday said its cable and broadband services continue to operate to serve subscribers nationwide, but it has stopped the digital TV transmission of its TVplus channels in all other areas outside Metro Manila in compliance with the telecom regulator’s order.
In a statement, ABS-CBN unit Sky Cable Corp. said its SKYcable and SKY Fiber services remain available, while its satellite services Skydirect with 1.5 million subscribers was covered by the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).
SKY appealed to the NTC “to extend the same privilege given in the past to other companies whose franchises have expired but are currently pending in Congress to continue its operations until a resolution is passed.”
The company stressed it will attend to the concerns of subscribers, including the refund of unconsumed prepaid loads as well as advance postpaid payments, in compliance with the order.
Meanwhile, ABS-CBN has stopped the digital TV transmission of its TVplus channels CineMo, Yey, TeleRadyo, Jeepney TV, Asianovela Channel and KBO in all other areas outside Metro Manila starting July 1.
Viewers can still watch their favorite programs on CineMo, TeleRadyo and Jeepney TV on SKYcable. TeleRadyo and Jeepney TV are also available in other cable TV operators nationwide.
