Labis na nalungkot ang broadcaster na si Karen Davila dahil sa paggiba ng ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) satellite studio sa Rockwell, Makati.
Sa kanyang Instagram kahapon, April 18, ibinahagi ni Karen ang ilang tanawin sa loob ng satellite studio kung saan makikitang tinatanggal na ang mga ilaw, sound system, at iba pang kagamitan doon.
Saad niya sa kanyang caption, “The ANC ROCKWELL STUDIO. I will definitely miss mornings at Rockwell.
“So many wonderful memories in this intimate satellite studio with our guests & friends who would come to visit. I miss Victor, our all around jolly floor director and IT guy!”
Ang nasabing studio nila sa Rockwell ang tahanan ng ilang shows ng cable news channel ng ABS-CBN Corporation na itinayo taong 2015.
Kabilang na rito ang talk show ni Karen na Headstart.
Dagdag pa ng broadcaster, “The ANC Rockwell studio opened in 2015 and it became home for some ANC daily shows like ‘Matters of Fact’ and of course, ‘Headstart’
“Heartbreaking to see it dismantled but I understand how difficult it has been for our bosses to keep ABSCBN afloat without a franchise.
"Thank you, our kapamilya viewers and advertisers for your love and support [two hearts emoji]"
Paglilinaw ni Karen, “NOTE: ANC IS STILL ON AIR. You can watch us on Skycable, ANC 24/7 online, ABSCBN News online (praying hands emoji)
“Headstart is 11 years strong. Thank you Lord.”
Umaasa si Karen na muling makabangon ang istasyon mula sa pagkakadapa nito.
Aniya, “I am praying for better days ahead for all of us. Remember, even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. God is faithful.

July 10, 2020 nang patayin ng Kongreso ang franchise application ng ABS-CBN.
Kasunod nito ay isinara ng istasyon ang regional channels nila sa iba’t ibang probinsiya.
Nananatili namang umeere ang ilang entertainment shows ng ABS-CBN sa online, cable, YouTube, at sa ibang istasyon na mayroon silang blocktime agreement gaya ng TV5 at A2Z.
