Kapamilya Box Office


Kapamilya Box Office is a Philippine free-to-air television channel. It was initially launched in May 2015 as a pay-per-view channel intended for the historic boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. It was formerly registered as the "TVplus Xtra Channel" but became inactive after the coverage. By April 2016, the channel was rebranded as KBO.
As of June 30, 2020, the channel was temporarily ceased operations through ABS-CBN TV Plus due to a 2nd cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission due to an expired franchise. But the operations continued through Sky Cable via SKY PPV.

Quo warranto petition

On February 10, 2020, Solicitor General Jose Calida filed a quo warranto petition against ABS-CBN Corporation and its subsidiary ABS-CBN Convergence to the Supreme Court of the Philippines for violating their legislative franchises' conditions, including the operations of KBO. ABS-CBN would later clarified the statement on Calida's claim that all of their broadcast operations, including KBO, had received government and regulatory approvals. On February 24, 2020, NTC Commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba stated that ABS-CBN would pay a fine of ₱200 for operating the said pay-per-view channel without any guidelines yet from the NTC.
On June 23, 2020, the Supreme Court of the Philippines dismissed the quo warranto petition to revoke ABS-CBN Corporation's franchise, stating that the petition was moot and academic as the franchise already expired, therefore the Court would not be changing anything by voiding the franchise ab initio. However, the quo warranto petition filed against ABS-CBN Convergence Inc. for allegedly illegally operating remains pending.
