Isasara na ang Teleradyo ng ABS-CBN simula sa June 30, 2023.
Kasabay nito ang annoucement ng kanilang partnership sa Prime Media Holdings, ang kumpanya na ang majority shareholder daw ay si Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.
“TeleRadyo has been incurring financial losses since 2020. Since ABS-CBN can no longer sustain TeleRadyo’s operations, ABS-CBN is left with no choice but to cease the operations of TeleRadyo effective 30 June 2023 to prevent further business losses,” ayon sa inilabas na statement ng ABS-CBN.
“The company is deeply saddened by this closure and having to part ways with the many passionate and committed people who have made Teleradyo an important source of news and information for many Filipinos.
“However, intending to find ways to continue providing news to the public, ABS-CBN is entering into a joint venture with Prime Media Holdings Inc.
“The New company will produce various programs, which will be supplied to broadcasters and other 3rd party platforms including Philippine Collectivemedia Corporation.
“Under the agreement, ABS-CBN will have a minority stake in the joint venture, and Prime Media Inc. will be the majority stakeholder,” ayon pa sa statement ABS-CBN.
