ALLTV secures broadcast rights for ABS-CBN programs starting 2026

The agreement follows the termination of ABS-CBN's content supply agreement with TV5 Network, Inc., led by Manny V. Pangilinan, which TV5 said was due to ABS-CBN's failure to meet its financial obligations under the contract.

In a statement on Wednesday, ABS-CBN said ALLTV secured the rights to broadcast certain programs after ABS-CBN settled its obligations with TV5 and MediaQuest Holdings, Inc.

"We thank Mr. Manny V. Pangilinan and TV5 for providing a platform for some ABS-CBN programs since 2021," the company said.
