Philippines and the future of its top broadcaster

Newsday

Available for over a year

The commercial broadcaster ABS-CBN in the Philippines was ordered to close while its 25-year franchise renewal application is pending in Congress, in what is being seen as the latest attack on press freedom in the country. The committee has now started voting, we have the latest. We're live in Singapore which is holding elections on who will form the country's next government. And we enter the world of the new social distanced world of 'online comedy nights' where comics do routines from living rooms, kitchens, and even garden sheds.
