Philippine media giant ABS-CBN Corp. said it will return to free-to-air television starting Saturday, three months after Congress denied it a new franchise.
The media company, in a disclosure to the stock exchange Tuesday, said some of its entertainment shows and movies will be seen on Channel 11 -- now called A2Z Channel -- through an agreement with Zoe Broadcasting Network Inc. Channel 11 is on analog TV in Metro Manila and nearby provinces, it said.
