MANILA, Philippines – The YouTube channels of ABS-CBN News and ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) were down on Tuesday, November 3, for allegedly violating the video-sharing website's terms of service.
"We are aware of the problem of accessing ABS-CBN News channels on YouTube," ABS-CBN said in a statement.
The network said they are currently investigating and working with YouTube to fix the issue.
"We are currently investigating this and working closely with YouTube to resolve the problem," the statement read.
"In the meantime, you can catch our livestreams and news reports on the TeleRadyo Channel. Thank you for your patience and understanding," it added.
A quick search as of 12:00 pm returns an error message: "This page isn't available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else." Someone also grabbed the user handle 'abscbnNEWS' with more than 100 subscribers.
