User blog:MJAbiera/2016 Philippine broadcast TV realignment

The 2016 Philippine broadcast television realignment consisted of a series of events that resulted from the January 2016 announcement that the country's two "second-tier" television networks, UPN and The WB, would both cease operations. The two networks respectively shut down on September 15 and 17, and their operations were transferred to a new joint-venture "fifth" network, The CW Philippines. Meanwhile, T&C (which owned several UPN-affiliated stations in large cities that were blocked from affiliating with The CW) signed up with nationwide station versions of T&C, a new network owned by then-parent company Allied Media Corporation.
