'''ABS-CBN'''{{efn|an acronym for '''Alto Broadcasting System – Chronicle Broadcasting Network'''}} is a Philippine media and content company. It serves as the flagship media brand of ABS-CBN Corporation, a subsidiary of Lopez Holdings Corporation. Formerly the country's largest free-to-air television network, ABS-CBN has since evolved into a multi-platform content producer and distributor following the expiration and non-renewal of its broadcast franchise in 2020. The company currently syndicates its programming across various platforms, including partner networks, cable channels, streaming services, and digital platforms.
ABS-CBN is the oldest{{citation needed|date=August 2025}} television broadcaster in Southeast Asia, with origins dating back to the early 1950s. It was the first network in the region to broadcast in color and is historically among the oldest commercial television broadcasters in Asia. In 2007, ABS-CBN transitioned to high-definition (HD) broadcasting ahead of most Philippine networks, and by 2020, after it stopped broadcasting on free-to-air television following a cease and desist order from the National Telecommunications Commission, it had fully shifted to digital operations. ABS-CBN is colloquially referred to as the "Kapamilya Network", introduced in 1999 and officially launched in 2003 during its 50th anniversary, and one that remains widely used up to this day.
ABS-CBN is headquartered at the ELJ Communications Center in Quezon City, which houses its offices and production studios. The network is metonymically referred to as "Ignacia," a nod to its headquarters located along Mother Ignacia Street in Quezon City. The company also operates a state-of-the-art secondary production hub at the Horizon IT Park in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. This facility is used for the production of television programs and films.<ref>{{cite web |date=February 28, 2025 |title=ABS-CBN sells part of QC property to Ayala Land |url=https://corporate.abs-cbn.com/newsroom/news-releases/2025/2/28/abs-cbn-sell-portion-qc-property?lang=en |access-date=May 11, 2025 |website=ABS-CBN Corporate}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=December 12, 2018 |title=Pasilip sa bagong ABS-CBN Studios |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/multimedia/video/12/12/18/pasilip-sa-bagong-abs-cbn-studios |access-date=April 17, 2021 |website=ABS-CBN News}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=December 13, 2018 |title=TOUR: Inside ABS-CBN's enormous Horizon sound stages |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/12/13/18/tour-inside-abs-cbns-enormous-horizon-sound-stages |access-date=April 17, 2021 |website=ABS-CBN News}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=December 12, 2018 |title=ABS-CBN sound stages finally open in Bulacan |url=https://www.bworldonline.com/abs-cbn-sound-stages-finally-open-in-bulacan/ |access-date=April 17, 2021 |website=BusinessWorld}}</ref> In February 2025, the company sold a portion of its Quezon City property, including the decommissioned Millennium Transmitter site (which was closed on July 9, 2025),<ref>{{cite news|title=Millennium tower ng ABS-CBN, mauunang gigibain!|url=https://www.philstar.com/pilipino-star-ngayon/showbiz/2025/07/11/2457163/millennium-tower-ng-abs-cbn-mauunang-gigibain|website=Philstar|date=July 11, 2025|language=tl}}</ref> to Ayala Land for mixed-use redevelopment <ref>{{cite news|title=ABS-CBN to sell portion of its Quezon City property to Ayala Land|url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/business/2025/2/27/abs-cbn-to-sell-portion-of-its-quezon-city-property-to-ayala-land-1328|website=ABS-CBN|date=February 27, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title= ABS-CBN sells part of HQ to Ayala Land for P6 billion|url=https://www.philstar.com/business/2025/02/28/2424669/abs-cbn-sells-part-hq-ayala-land-p6-billion|website=Philstar|date=February 28, 2025}}</ref> and will take effect in December 2026.<ref>{{cite news|title=Ayala Land to assume control of ABS-CBN property by 2026|url=https://www.rappler.com/business/ayala-land-assume-control-abs-cbn-property-2026/|website=Rappler|date=June 27, 2025}}</ref> ABS-CBN retained ownership of the ELJ Communications Center, which remains its main headquarters, and plans to fully consolidate all of its operations within the complex by July 2026.<ref>{{cite news|title=ABS-CBN sees return to profit in 18 months |url=https://www.philstar.com/business/2025/06/27/2453538/abs-cbn-sees-return-profit-18-months |website=Philstar|date=June 27, 2025}}</ref> On August 20, 2025, ABS-CBN and Ayala Land have signed the deeds of absolute sale for the purchase of the sold properties.<ref>{{cite news|title=ABS-CBN Corp, Ayala Land sign Deeds of Sale for acquisition of QC property|url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/business/2025/8/20/abs-cbn-corp-ayala-land-sign-deeds-of-sale-for-acquisition-of-qc-property-1518|website=ABS-CBN|date=August 20, 2025}}</ref>
Since 2020, ABS-CBN has remained active as a primary content provider managed by the company and its subsidiaries, which continue to hold its trademark and copyrights. The organization shifted its focus to content production and distribution for cable, digital, and international audiences. Its global presence is maintained through various direct-to-consumer services and international distribution. ABS-CBN also delivers content through broadcast partnerships with local networks, which now utilize its former frequencies and transmission facilities.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Corporation |first=ABS-CBN |title=ABS-CBN evolves into a content company to produce content for viewers worldwide |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/newsroom/news-releases/2021/10/21/abscbn-evolves-into-a-content-company?lang=en |access-date=October 30, 2021 |website=ABS-CBN}}</ref> By 2024, ABS-CBN had adopted a diversified revenue model centered on digital platforms, international licensing, and media partnerships, resulting in improved financial performance.<ref>{{cite web |date=April 2025 |title=ABS-CBN, GMA report earnings |url=https://www.rappler.com/business/abs-cbn-gma-network-earnings-reports-2024/ |access-date=May 11, 2025 |website=Rappler}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=April 22, 2025 |title=Maya becomes profitable in first quarter of 2025 |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/business/2025/4/22/maya-becomes-profitable-in-first-quarter-of-2025-1631 |access-date=May 11, 2025 |website=ABS-CBN News}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=April 2025 |title=ABS-CBN's losses narrow to ₱4.37B in 2024 |url=https://business.inquirer.net/520028/abs-cbns-losses-narrow-to-p4-37b-in-2024 |access-date=May 11, 2025 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer}}</ref> In the first quarter of 2025, ABS-CBN generated ₱4.23 billion in consolidated revenue but posted a net loss of ₱425.65 million, nearly halving its losses from the previous year as its content production and distribution business showed continued growth.<ref>{{cite web |title=ABS-CBN Corporation Reports Earnings Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 |url=https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/ABS-CBN-CORPORATION-9058840/news/ABS-CBN-Corporation-Reports-Earnings-Results-for-the-First-Quarter-Ended-March-31-2025-49983147/ |website=MarketScreener |date=May 16, 2025 |access-date=2 July 2025}}</ref> The company has also set its sights on returning to profitability by 2026.<ref>{{cite web |title=ABS-CBN eyes profitability within 18 months |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/business/2025/6/26/abs-cbn-eyes-profitability-within-18-months-1426 |website=ABS-CBN News |date=June 26, 2025 |access-date=2 July 2025}}</ref>
In June 2025, ABS-CBN officially announced it would no longer pursue a free-to-air terrestrial television broadcasting license through Congress in order to return to traditional broadcasting. According to CEO Carlo L. Katigbak, this decision was made because all former frequencies previously used by ABS-CBN were since allocated to other networks and that, aside of getting the license to broadcast terrestrially again, the network would also need the return of the former frequencies currently used by competitors. Instead, Katigbak stated that ABS-CBN will focus on producing media content and prioritize the company's presence online.<ref>{{cite web|title=ABS-CBN abandons broadcast franchise bid|url=https://mb.com.ph/2025/06/26/abs-cbn-abandons-broadcast-franchise-bid|website=Manila Bulletin|date=June 26, 2025}}</ref>

In 1951, Lindenberg partnered with Antonio Quirino, brother of then-Philippine president Elpidio Quirino, to try television broadcasting. In 1952, BEC was renamed Alto Broadcasting System or ABS (with Alto Sales Corporation as its corporate name). ''Alto'' was a contraction of Quirino and his wife's first names, Tony and Aleli. Despite little money and resources, ABS was able to put up its TV tower by July 1953 and imported around 300 television sets. The initial test broadcasts began in September of the same year. The first full-blown broadcast was on October 23, 1953, at a party in Quirino's home. The first program to air was a garden party at the Quirino residence in Sitio Alto, San Juan. After the premiere telecast, the station followed a daily four-hour schedule from 6:00 to 10:00 PM.<ref name="history" />

ABS-CBN's first television broadcast was on October 23, 1953, as Alto Broadcasting System (ABS) on DZAQ-TV, three months after the first broadcast of Japan's NHK General TV and Nippon Television. It is the first television network in Southeast Asia to broadcast in color, the first television network in the Philippines to formally launch a digital terrestrial television service, and the first broadcast television network in the Philippines to formally launch in HD.<ref name="ABS-CBN HD">{{Cite web |title=ABS-CBN launches ABS-CBN HD on cable |url=https://lopezlink.ph/lifestyle2/kapamilya-entertainment/32-lifestyle/kapamilya-entertainment/6765-abs-cbn-launches-abs-cbn-hd-on-cable.html |access-date=April 7, 2021 |website=lopezlink.ph |language=en-gb}}</ref>
The flagship television station of ABS-CBN was DWWX-TV (ABS-CBN TV-2 Manila). As such, the network was informally referred to as "Channel 2" or "''dos''" (Spanish for ''two'') even if the network was seen in other channel numbers elsewhere in the country. The network operated across the Philippine archipelago through the ABS-CBN Regional division which controlled 80 television stations.<ref name="ABS-CBN">{{cite report |url=http://edge.pse.com.ph/downloadFile.do?file_id=228352 |title=SEC FORM 17-A 2015 |date=March 27, 2016 |publisher=Philippine Stock Exchange}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |last=Cerrado |first=Aldrin |url=http://www.pse.com.ph/resource/corpt/2013/ABS_A17A_Dec2012_1.pdf |title=ABS-CBN Corporation Amended 2012 SEC Form 17-A |date=June 5, 2013 |work=Philippine Stock Exchange |access-date=July 5, 2013 |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924083306/http://www.pse.com.ph/resource/corpt/2013/ABS_A17A_Dec2012_1.pdf |url-status=dead}}</ref> Its programs are also available outside the Philippines through the global subscription television channel The Filipino Channel (TFC). From 2011 to 2020, the network had on test broadcast for digital terrestrial television using the Japanese standard ISDB-T in select areas in the Philippines. On October 3, 2015, ABS-CBN started to broadcast in high-definition quality through its affiliate direct-to-home cable and satellite television providers.<ref name="ABS-CBN HD" />
As of May 5, 2020, all terrestrial broadcast operations have halted completely as per a cease-and desist order from the National Telecommunications Commission. All frequencies formerly assigned to ABS-CBN have since been reassigned to other networks (including AMBS' All TV, which ironically, would begin simulcasting selected ABS-CBN programs four years later).<ref name="TVPALLTV">{{Cite news |date=April 13, 2024 |title=''TV Patrol'' to air on ALLTV beginning April 15 |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/4/13/-tv-patrol-to-air-on-alltv-beginning-april-15-1429 |access-date=April 14, 2024 |work=ABS-CBN News}}</ref><ref name="news.abs-cbn.com">{{cite news|title=AMBS, ABS-CBN to bring Kapamilya shows, TV Patrol to ALLTV|url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/business/2024/4/23/ambs-abs-cbn-to-bring-kapamilya-shows-tv-patrol-to-alltv-1326|website=ABS-CBN News|date=April 23, 2024|access-date=July 7, 2024}}</ref><ref name="Byx Almacen">{{cite web|author=Byx Almacen|title=Eere sa ALLTV: Regine Velasquez 'di iiwanan ang 'Magandang Buhay'|url=https://www.abante.com.ph/2024/04/30/eere-sa-alltv-regine-velasquez-di-iiwanan-ang-magandang-buhay/|website=Abante|date=April 30, 2024|language=tl}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://balita.net.ph/2024/06/18/tahimik-lang-its-showtime-balik-channel-2-napapanood-na-rin-sa-alltv/|title=Tahimik lang: It's Showtime balik-Channel 2, napapanood na rin sa ALLTV|author=Richard de Leon|website=balita.net.ph|date=2024-06-18|access-date=2024-06-18|archive-date=June 18, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240618004722/https://balita.net.ph/2024/06/18/tahimik-lang-its-showtime-balik-channel-2-napapanood-na-rin-sa-alltv/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="goin1">{{cite web |last1=Deveza |first1=Reyma |title='Goin' Bulilit' returning to TV on June 17 |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/5/31/-goin-bulilit-returning-to-tv-on-june-17-1033 |website=ABS-CBN News |access-date=31 May 2024 |date=31 May 2024}}</ref><ref name="Aco">{{cite web |title="It's Showtime" kids and Baby Giant headline return of "Goin Bulilit" |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/goinbulilit/articles-news/its-showtime-kids-and-baby-giant-headline-return-of-goin-bulilit-22658 |website=ABS-CBN Entertainment. |publisher=ABS-CBN Corporation |access-date=16 September 2024 |date=28 June 2024}}</ref><ref name="auto2">{{cite web |date=October 21, 2024 |title=ABS-CBN and ALLTV partnership is getting stronger; is there more to come? |url=https://www.lionheartv.net/2024/10/abs-cbn-alltv-stronger/ |access-date=October 30, 2025 |website=LionhearTV}}</ref>
===As a content producer, distributor, design agency, public relations, and online streaming (2020–present)===
ABS-CBN restructured its operations starting 2020, prioritizing and focusing content creation, digital distribution, public relations, designing and creating idents and bumpers for airtime leasing networks, and global partnerships across cable, satellite and over-the-top (OTT) platforms.
On June 13, 2020, ABS-CBN launched the Kapamilya Channel, a 24-hour pay television network designed to continue the company's programming through alternative platforms. Serving as the flagship channel of the company, the channel was introduced with a high-definition (HD) feed, replacing the former ABS-CBN HD channel, which originally launched on October 3, 2015. It is available nationwide via major cable and satellite providers, including Streamtech's Planet Cable, Converge ICT's Vision and its sister company Sky Cable.<ref>{{cite web |title=ABS-CBN launches Kapamilya Channel |url=https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2020/06/04/2018757/abs-cbn-launches-kapamilya-channel |website=The Philippine Star |date=June 4, 2020 |access-date=June 30, 2024}}</ref>
Following the introduction of its cable channel, the company launched Kapamilya Online Live on August 1, 2020, as its flagship free livestreaming service on YouTube and Facebook. The platform features current programming, same-day broadcasts, and archived content, mirroring the shows aired on its cable counterpart with slight variations due to copyright restrictions. It marked the country's first full-day digital entertainment service by a major television network, offering continuous programming through social media livestreams.<ref>{{cite news |title=ABS-CBN brings back your favorite shows via Kapamilya Online Live |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/abs-cbn-brings-back-your-favorite-shows-via-kapamilya-online-live-12740 |website=ABS-CBN News |date=August 1, 2020 |access-date=June 30, 2024}}</ref>
ABS-CBN merged its streaming services iWant and TFC Online in 2021 to launch the upgraded iWantTFC platform, integrating domestic and international content libraries into a single streaming service. The platform offers live channels, video-on-demand, and exclusive digital content. iWant relaunched on July 10, 2025, with enhanced features including support for 4K streaming, aiming to provide a sleeker and improved viewing experience.<ref>{{cite web |title=iWantTFC to unveil new look, streaming experience starting June 12 |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/2025/6/10/iwant-to-unveil-new-look-streaming-experience-starting-june-12-1605 |website=ABS-CBN News |date=June 10, 2025 |access-date=June 30, 2024}}</ref>
ABS-CBN expanded its domestic television presence through a series of blocktime agreements with multiple broadcast networks.

On March 16, 2026, all TV networks of ABS-CBN (except A2Z){{efn|A2Z will not rebrand until November 2025, after DZOE shuts down it's analog TV broadcast in favor of digital TV.}}, started using its 2013 logo over the current channel name as digital on-screen graphic, thus marking the return of the ABS-CBN logo on its digital on-screen graphic after almost 6 years. <ref>{{Cite web |title=ABS-CBN

==Branding== {{Copy edit|date=March 2026|section}}
The ABS-CBN logo features three main elements: the vertical line rooted in a horizontal origin, the three extending circles, and the text ABS-CBN, forming the spinning top (''trumpo'' in Filipino) and balloon shape.<ref>{{cite book|title=Network has new logo|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8oc1AAAAIBAJ&dq=abs+cbn+logo&pg=PA21&article_id=1146,23718055|author=Philippine Daily Inquirer|via=Google Books|page=21|date=January 9, 2000}}</ref> These could refer to a broadcast antenna or a transmitter, for the circles the television and radio waves being broadcast, and for its colors, the three additive primary colors— red, green, and blue (RGB). It also symbolizes the Philippines as the circles and vertical line represent Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, and Metro Manila being the network's national coverage, its country of origin, and where it is headquartered from as the originating point of its worldwide broadcast.
ABS-CBN's logo also has a horizontal version, usually used to save space as the main vertical logo usually takes up more space. The design of the horizontal version of the logo contains the ABS-CBN text, split into two parts, "ABS" and "CBN", without the dash connecting them, and ABS-CBN's symbol squeezed in between them.
In time for the inauguration of the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center on December 18, 1968, the now iconic three rings and vertical line design made its debut: The Secretary of Negros Navigation Januario "Jun" Jison Jr. added the black square, the assistant general manager of the Orchard Golf and Country Club and former advertizing director Ignacio Vitalis added three rings and the President/CEO of ABS-CBN Corporation Eugenio Lopez Jr. for the vertical line.
The interior designer Wili Fernandez, for his part, made the font called ABS-CBN Contemera, refining the appearance of the Malayan ABS-CBN text, and the ABS and CBN letters were placed above and below the symbol.
The first logo to have a horizontal version going by this design was the logo launched in 1986. From September 14, 1986, up until the final sign-off of the main ABS-CBN terrestrial network on May 5, 2020, the elements of the horizontal logo, text, and symbol were evenly sized. Starting with the 1999 logo, the horizontal logo has been slightly larger than the Alto Broadcasting System (ABS) and Chronicle Broadcasting Network (CBN) names.
===Slogans=== :* '''The Philippines' Largest Network''' (1967–1972; 1986–1988) – Emphasized national coverage and prominence during its early broadcast years. The network's trademark jingle was created based on this slogan, which is still being used to present day. :* '''The Star Network''' (1987–1992) – Highlighted the network's popular entertainment stars and notable programming after resuming operations in 1986. :* '''In the Service of the Filipino''' (1989–present) – Reflected the network's dedication to public service, news journalism, and national development. :* '''In the Service of the Filipino Worldwide''' (1992–present) – Expanded its identity to resonate with overseas Filipino communities and underline its global presence.
===Seasonal IDs===
ABS-CBN is widely recognized for its annual Christmas Station ID (CSID) and Summer Station ID (SSID) campaigns. These musical productions have become a significant part of Filipino pop culture and serve as a yearly tradition to promote unity, gratitude, and national pride.
====Christmas Station IDs==== ABS-CBN's Christmas Station IDs and their associated theme and song are aired annually across ABS-CBN platforms from November of the current year to January of the next one. The trend began on November 17, 2002, a month after GMA Network rebranded from Rainbow to Kapuso Network on October 27 changing from 1998 to the current 2002 logo.
Each campaign features a new original theme song, celebrity appearances, and stories highlighting Filipino values such as family, resilience, and bayanihan.

ABS-CBN has transformed into a leading digital media company. ABS-CBN-related websites and social media accounts, iWant, YouTube and Netflix are owned, operated, managed, and held responsible by ABS-CBN Corporation and produced by its Digital Media division for global content distribution, audience engagement, and provide updates on all sectors of the media company both corporate for the company itself and non-corporate purposes for its other parts outside corporate activities.
With a focus on digital content creation and delivery, iWant serves as its flagship streaming service, while ABS-CBN.com is the main news, entertainment, and corporate portal for Filipinos worldwide. By pioneering live streaming and on-demand viewing, ABS-CBN has established itself as a dominant force in Philippine digital media and among overseas Filipino communities.
===Website=== '''governance.ABS-CBN.com''' (ABS-CBN Corporate Governance), '''investors.ABS-CBN.com''' (ABS-CBN Investor Relations), and '''corporate.ABS-CBN.com''' (ABS-CBN Corporate) are websites intended for use by ABS-CBN Corporation as such used for corporate purposes. ABS-CBN Corporate Governance and Investor Relations provide the media company's operations, structure, status, inquiries, and documents about its corporate activities including of ABS-CBN Foundation division. On the other hand, ABS-CBN Corporate is the main website of ABS-CBN Corporation where aside from its use on the two previously mentioned websites, it also provides the updates or news, including showbiz, of the media company as a whole through ABS-CBN Integrated Corporate Communications. The three websites were created to separate corporate sector and part of ABS-CBN.com from generic non-corporate ones mentioned below.
'''ABS-CBN.com''', however, is the generic website of ABS-CBN. Since its launch in 1997, ABS-CBN.com has grown from a simple corporate site into one of the Philippines’ most-visited and diverse digital destinations, offering news, entertainment, program schedules, multimedia content, and interactive features. The website provides live streaming, video-on-demand, interactive show pages, and direct access to streaming platforms like iWant, as well as the ABS-CBN News site and official social media channels.
Over the years, ABS-CBN.com has undergone major redesigns to improve the user experience. In March 2021, the site introduced a refreshed interface, and in December 2024, it relaunched as an “all-in-one” digital platform, unifying ABS-CBN's news, entertainment, sports, lifestyle, and metro content in a single cross-device hub.<ref>{{cite web |title=New ABS-CBN flagship website brings an all-in-one digital experience |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2024/12/11/new-abs-cbn-flagship-website-brings-an-all-in-one-digital-experience-1648 |website=ABS-CBN Corporate Newsroom |date=11 December 2024 |access-date=4 July 2025}}</ref>
As ABS-CBN expanded its focus on digital content, ABS-CBN.com introduced more editorial, multimedia, and interactive offerings, and partnered with advertisers and branded content creators to enhance user engagement. By 2025, the site remains a key online hub for Filipinos worldwide, drawing millions of monthly visitors. According to SimilarWeb, ABS-CBN.com ranked third among streaming and online TV websites in the Philippines in May 2025 after YouTube and Netflix with approximately 25.7 million visits that month.<ref>{{cite web |title=abs-cbn.com Traffic Analytics & Market Share |url=https://www.similarweb.com/website/abs-cbn.com/ |website=SimilarWeb |access-date=4 July 2025}}</ref>

===International content acquisitions and production=== ABS-CBN's International Acquisitions team is responsible for sourcing, licensing, and acquiring foreign content to enhance the network's programming lineup for both Philippine and international audiences. This division operates under the International Sales & Distribution unit and negotiates with global studios, distributors, and content owners across Asia, the Americas, Europe, and beyond.<ref>{{cite web |title=ABS-CBN: International Acquisitions |url=https://internationalsales.abs-cbn.com/internationalsales/inquiry |website=ABS-CBN International Sales |access-date=6 July 2025}}</ref>
A landmark acquisition was the Taiwanese drama ''Meteor Garden'', which aired in 2003 and became the Philippines’ first "Asianovela." Its phenomenal popularity marked a turning point in local programming, sparking a nationwide craze and paving the way for the Asian drama phenomenon on Philippine television. Following ''Meteor Garden'', ABS-CBN continued to import top Asian dramas such as ''Boys Over Flowers'', ''Princess Hours'', ''Dream High'', ''Lovers in Paris'', ''The Kitchen Musical'',<ref>{{cite news |last1= R.

In the 2020s, responding to the increasing popularity of Thai content among Filipino viewers, ABS-CBN expanded its acquisitions to include not only ''2gether: The Series'' but also a growing slate of acclaimed Thai BL dramas and youth-oriented series, further diversifying its international programming and reflecting shifting viewing preferences in the Philippines.
ABS-CBN has also been renowned for acquiring and popularizing iconic anime and children's programs. Anime classics such as ''Judy Abbott'', ''Princess Sarah'', ''Cedie'', ''Heidi'', and ''Marcelino Pan y Vino'' became household favorites, capturing the hearts of Filipino children and families across generations. The network also introduced beloved anime and animated titles including ''Hana Yori Dango'', ''Cardcaptor Sakura'', ''Fruits Basket'', ''Naruto'', ''Akazukin Chacha'', ''Wedding Peach'', ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'', ''Digimon'', ''Looney Tunes''/''Merrie Melodies'' <small>(from RPN)</small>, ''Tom and Jerry'' <small>(from IBC)</small>, ''Scooby-Doo'', ''Oddbods'' and ''The Simpsons''. The network further diversified its lineup for younger audiences by airing international preschool shows such as ''Bear in the Big Blue House'' and ''Peppa Pig''.
ABS-CBN also played a key role in popularizing tokusatsu, or Japanese live-action special effects series, in the Philippines. Notable titles broadcast by the network include the various titles on the ''Super Sentai'' franchises, ''Ultraman Ace'', ''Chōdenshi Bioman'', and ''Kamen Rider Agito'' all of which introduced Filipino audiences to the world of transforming superheroes and team-based action.<ref>{{cite news |title=ABS-CBN strengthens international lineup with more K-dramas and telenovelas |url=https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2021/06/10/2104577/abs-cbn-strengthens-international-lineup-more-k-dramas-and-telenovelas |website=The Philippine Star |date=June 10, 2021 |access-date=6 July 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=ABS-CBN International Acquisitions |url=https://internationalsales.abs-cbn.com/internationalsales/inquiry |website=ABS-CBN International Sales |access-date=6 July 2025}}</ref>
Meanwhile, ABS-CBN International Productions distributes series produced by ABS-CBN Studios for the international market. Series that were distributed by them are ''Cattleya Killer'' and ''The Silent Noise''. It is headed by Ruel S. Bayani.
===Local adaptations of acquired international formats=== ABS-CBN has a long-standing tradition of producing local adaptations of popular international television formats, further cementing its reputation as a leader in Philippine entertainment. By acquiring rights to globally recognized shows and drama series, ABS-CBN has brought international concepts closer to Filipino audiences through culturally relevant remakes, localized narratives, and the use of homegrown talent.
One of the earliest and most notable examples is the adaptation of Asian dramas, following the immense success of Asianovelas in the early 2000s. ABS-CBN produced Filipino remakes of beloved series such as ''My Girl'', ''Only You'', ''Lovers in Paris'', and ''It's Okay to Not Be Okay'', blending original storylines with uniquely Filipino elements and settings.
Another significant adaptation is the Japanese drama ''Saving Grace'', which was localized for Filipino audiences, reflecting the network's continued interest in bringing diverse Asian narratives to the Philippine market.
The network has also successfully adapted drama formats from Western television, such as ''May Bukas Pa'' and ''The Broken Marriage Vow'' are the Philippine adaptations of the 1955 Spanish film ''Marcelino Pan y Vino'' and acclaimed British series ''Doctor Foster'', respectively. Another high-profile project was ''I Love Betty La Fea'', the Filipino version of the hit Colombian telenovela ''Yo soy Betty, la fea'', which was localized with a Filipino cast and became a major primetime success.
In addition, ABS-CBN has adapted numerous reality, game, and talent show formats, bringing international television experiences into Filipino homes. Notable examples include ''Pinoy Big Brother'', ''Pilipinas Got Talent'', ''The Voice of the Philippines'', ''Kapamilya Deal or No Deal'', ''The X Factor Philippines'', ''Idol Philippines'', ''Pinoy Fear Factor'', ''Junior MasterChef Pinoy Edition'', ''The Price Is Right'', ''Minute to Win It'', ''Your Face Sounds Familiar'', ''I Can See Your Voice'', and ''Wheel of Fortune''.
==Competition== In 1992, AGB Nielsen Philippines was founded. In 2007, TNS Philippines started to offer media research through Kantar Media Philippines (formerly Kantar/TNS). In 2008, AGB Nielsen Philippines released the list of all-time highest rating shows in the Philippines, with 7 of the top 10 highest rating shows all from ABS-CBN with the shows like ''The Battle: Pacquiao vs. Morales'', ''Rosalinda'', ''Esperanza'', ''Meteor Garden'', ''Pangako Sa 'Yo'', ''Miss Universe 1994'', and ''María Mercedes''.<ref>{{cite web|author=Nathan|title=30 All-Time Highest-rated Philippine TV shows based from the overnight ratings tabulation of AGB Nielsen Philippines in Mega Manila as of February 2008|url=http://kuwaderno.com/30-all-time-highest-rated-philippine-tv-shows-based-from-the-overnight-ratings-tabulation-of-agb-nielsen-philippines-in-mega-manila-as-of-february-2008.html|publisher=Kwuaderno|date=March 17, 2008|access-date=July 1, 2012|archive-date=February 14, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160214022550/http://kuwaderno.com/30-all-time-highest-rated-philippine-tv-shows-based-from-the-overnight-ratings-tabulation-of-agb-nielsen-philippines-in-mega-manila-as-of-february-2008.html|url-status=usurped}}</ref>
==Technology==
ABS-CBN has long been recognized as a trailblazer in Philippine media, consistently leading the industry in technological innovation. The company has pioneered numerous firsts in broadcast, production, and digital distribution, from early adoption of color television and satellite broadcasting to the current integration of advanced cloud and digital platforms. These ongoing investments have enabled ABS-CBN to set new standards for content quality, audience reach, and operational efficiency in the region.
===Cloud-Based and IP Delivery=== In early February 2021, ABS-CBN migrated to the Amagi cloud platform, enabling unified, cloud-based live playout across all its digital and broadcast services. This modern infrastructure allows for real-time, scalable, and cost-efficient transmission of both linear channels and video-on-demand (VOD) content across multiple regions, including Asia-Pacific, North America, the Middle East, and Europe. The transition to IP-based delivery, facilitated through partnerships with cloud video infrastructure providers such as Amagi, highlights ABS-CBN's continued evolution into a digital first content company.<ref>{{cite web |title=ABS-CBN consolidates operations on the cloud with Amagi |url=https://www.amagi.com/newsroom/abs-cbn-consolidates-operations-on-the-cloud-with-amagi |website=Amagi |date=February 3, 2021 |access-date=July 2, 2025}}</ref>
The same cloud infrastructure supports the cable broadcast of Kapamilya Channel, live streaming of Kapamilya Online Live, and powers the upgraded iWant platform, as well as all international feeds of TFC and its global companion channels, as well as local cable channels under Creative Programs, Inc.. For security and user access management, ABS-CBN utilizes Synacor's Cloud ID system across its international streaming services to ensure secure and unified authentication across regions.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cloud ID Expands APAC Presence with ABS-CBN's The Filipino Channel |url=https://corporate.abs-cbn.com/newsroom/news-releases/2023/11/21/cloud-id-expands-apac-presence-with-abs-cbns-the |website=ABS-CBN Corporation |date=November 21, 2023 |access-date=July 2, 2025}}</ref>
Editing and content preparation are handled through non-linear editing systems such as Etere, which has been integrated into ABS-CBN's digital production workflow since the late 2000s. Additionally, the Dalet Galaxy platform is used within ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs to streamline newsroom asset management, editing, and playout. These systems collectively support both traditional broadcast and digital-first production pipelines.<ref>{{cite web |title=ABS-CBN Prepares for the Future with Etere |url=https://www.etere.com/DocView/8830/ABS-CBN-Prepares-for-the-Future-with-Etere.aspx |website=Etere |date=May 2019 |access-date=July 2, 2025}}</ref>
===Satellite distribution=== Although IP-based transmission is now the network's primary standard, ABS-CBN continues to maintain satellite distribution to ensure redundancy, support underserved regions, and accommodate legacy platforms still reliant on traditional infrastructure. The company uses Intelsat 19 at 166.0° East to provide coverage across the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan, Australia, Guam, and the Pacific Islands.<ref>{{cite web |title=ABS-CBN – LyngSat Satellite Directory |url=https://www.lyngsat.com/providers/ph/ABS-CBN.html |website=LyngSat |access-date=July 2, 2025}}</ref> These satellite feeds are also utilized by regional affiliates and cable operators in areas with limited internet connectivity.
Although ABS-CBN no longer holds a Philippine broadcast franchise, its satellite operations remain unaffected, as they do not involve direct terrestrial transmission to the public. Instead, ABS-CBN delivers content to authorized third-party platforms, such as cable providers, direct-to-home (DTH) satellite services, and international carriers, which handle the end-user distribution under their own licenses and permits.<ref>{{cite news |title=Explainer: What ABS-CBN can do with its cable and satellite TV operations after shutdown |url=https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/260321-abs-cbn-cable-satellite-tv-operations-shutdown/ |website=Rappler |date=May 7, 2020 |access-date=July 2, 2025}}{{dead link|date=May 2026|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
Under the leadership of CEO Carlo Katigbak, ABS-CBN has accelerated its digital transformation, embracing IP-based workflows, virtual production, and AI-powered content management systems. These technologies have allowed the network to seamlessly transition into a multi-platform distributor, engaging millions of viewers across streaming services, mobile apps, and social media. This continuous drive for innovation is supported by active research and global partnerships, cementing ABS-CBN's reputation as a leader in Southeast Asia's evolving media landscape.
==Controversies and scandals==
{{Copy edit|date=March 2026|section}}Throughout the years, ABS-CBN has been involved in several controversies and scandals involving its talents, employees, and programs.
===2004 copyright infringement with GMA=== On July 22, 2004, during the arrival of Angelo de la Cruz (a truck driver who was held hostage and threatened with beheading in Iraq abducted by armed rebels west of Baghdad while trucking fuel from Saudi Arabia) at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, live breaking news coverage was aired on GMA Network and other television stations in the Philippines. GMA Network used audio-video coverage from Reuters, which the network was subscribed to.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.anytimesnews.com/2010/11/18/ca-favors-gma-in-copyright-violation-case-filed-by-abs-cbn |title=CA-favors GMA in copyright violation case filed by ABS-CBN |work=anytimesnews.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707151048/http://www.anytimesnews.com/2010/11/18/ca-favors-gma-in-copyright-violation-case-filed-by-abs-cbn |archive-date=July 7, 2011}}</ref> During the broadcast, a live feed from Reuters was simultaneously aired with its own live broadcast. During the first five seconds of the live feed, GMA Network noticed that the live feed from Reuters was also airing from its main competitor ABS-CBN. The live video was restricted only to ABS-CBN and Reuters did not inform GMA Network that the video coverage was only intended for ABS-CBN. The local Court of Appeals declined the case filed by ABS-CBN Corporation against GMA Network Inc. for allegations of illegal duplication of its live video footage. In a ruling, the local fourth division of the appellate court set aside the resolution of the local Justice Department, which approved the filing of the violation of Republic Act 8293 (or the Intellectual Property Code) against GMA Network. It ruled out that the act of GMA Network airing the live video coverage was focused on good faith since there was no intent to instigate damage to ABS-CBN.<ref>{{cite web |title=Live Coverage |url=http://www.malaya.com.ph/11232010/news18.html |access-date=March 8, 2011 |website=Malaya}} {{Dead link|date=January 2023}}</ref> The local court also said GMA Network acted in good faith when it immediately stopped using the live video feed from Reuters upon learning ABS-CBN was also covering the event and its following exertion to authenticate the ABS-CBN Corporation restriction arrangement with the news service, Reuters. The court also stressed that apart from the lack of intent of GMA Network to affect the video from ABS-CBN, the action did not contravene Sections 212.4 and 185.1 of Republic Act 8293 since it was a short excerpt.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/206354/ca-favors-gma-in-copyright-violation-case-filed-by-abs-cbn|title=CA favors GMA in copyright violation case filed by ABS-CBN|work=GMA News Online|date=November 19, 2010 |access-date=March 3, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101121032739/http://www.gmanews.tv/story/206354/ca-favors-gma-in-copyright-violation-case-filed-by-abs-cbn|archive-date=November 21, 2010|url-status=live}}</ref>

Under Philippine law, broadcasting networks require a congressional franchise (Republic Act) to operate television and radio stations for 25 years; the absence of one will lead to the suspension of its operations. ABS-CBN's legislative franchise, which was approved by the virtue of Republic Act No. 7966 (granted last March 30, 1995), was scheduled to expire on May 4, 2020, because the franchise would become effective fifteen days after its publication on the Official Gazette on April 19, 1995.<ref>[https://cnnphilippines.com/news/2020/2/24/ABS-CBN-franchise-expiration-Senate-hearing.html "ABS-CBN franchise to expire on May 4, 2020 – DOJ"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200505200818/https://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2020/2/24/ABS-CBN-franchise-expiration-Senate-hearing.html |date=May 5, 2020}} ''CNNPhilippines.com'' February 24, 2020.</ref> At least 12 lawmakers have filed their own versions for a new franchise of the network.
