Senate probes ABS-CBN franchise today

More senators on Wednesday said they want the National Telecommunications Commission to grant provisional authority to operate to media giant ABS-CBN as Congress continues to tackle the network’s franchise.

This is the first time lawmakers will have an inquiry on the matter after the country’s top lawyer filed a case against the media giant before the Supreme Court.

The hearing takes place a little over a month before the network’s franchise expires on March 30th.

The House Committee on legislative franchises will akso meet today but bills to renew the ABS-CBN’s franchise won’t be on the agenda.
