ABS-CBN&#x27;s video streaming service and app, iWant, can also continue to deliver content to internet users. The service streams the networks&#x27; most popular shows like FPJ&#x27;s Ang Probinsyano, Maalaala Mo Kaya, TV Patrol, Bandila, as well as select shows of ANC and ABS-CBN Sports + Action. Many of iWant&#x27;s content are free. <a href="https://www.iwant.ph/tv">iWant</a> has already over 10 million downloads on Google&#x27;s Play Store and Apple&#x27;s App Store. It can also be accessed through the iwant.tv website.ANC, or the ABS-CBN News Channel, can also continue broadcasting as the NTC order does not cover cable news channels. &quot;ANC is content eh. Hindi kasama ang content,&quot; said NTC Deputy Commissioner Edgardo Cabarios in an interview with DZMM on Tuesday. Star Cinema will also be unaffected by the NTC&#x27;s cease and desist order. ABS-CBN also posts content on its official YouTube channels and Facebook accounts. On YouTube, the ABS-CBN Entertainment channel has over 27 million subscribers, while ABS-CBN News has over 9 million subscribers.On Facebook, ABS-CBN has over 23 million followers, while ABS-CBN News has over 19 million followers.
