The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The following is a list of original programming previously broadcast by ABS-CBN, a defunct free-to-air commercial broadcasting television network in the Philippines, owned by ABS-CBN Corporation. It was headquartered on the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center in Diliman, Quezon City. On May 5, 2020, ABS-CBN was issued with a cease and desist order from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida. The franchise license expired on May 4, and a day later, ABS-CBN officially signed off in the evening. On July 10, 2020, the House Committee on Legislative Franchises of the 18th Congress has denied the renewal of ABS-CBN's broadcasting franchise. As a result, the network forced to cease the operations of numerous divisions and laid off its workers. After shutting down its terrestrial and regional stations, ABS-CBN started distributing its own programs on Kapamilya Channel (a cable channel), Kapamilya Online Live (a web-based channel), and A2Z (a free-to-air channel in partnership with ZOE Broadcasting Network). The corporation has also entered into an acquired agreement with multiple networks to broadcast the ABS-CBN programs, including TV5 (from 2021 to 2026), GMA Network, and All TV.
