# ABS-CBN Regional Channel

ABS-CBN Regional Channel was a Philippine pay television channel which aired programming from the regional television and radio stations owned by ABS-CBN. The channel was launched as a test broadcast on August 1, 2016, and was officially launched on March 20, 2017.
ARC was the network's second attempt to have a subscription-television channel solely dedicated to regional programming. In 1996, when the then-Sarimanok Channel 37 (now ABS-CBN News Channel) was launched, 80% of its programming were produced in the network's regional operations centers located in Baguio, Bacolod, Cagayán de Oro, Cebú, Davao, Naga, Zamboanga, among others. The programming consists of newscasts which is aired live via satellite, public affairs shows such as Banat Visayas, Sulong Mindanao, drama, comedy and musical programs.
On January 10, 2018, ABS-CBN Corporation and Creative Programs announced that the channel would closedown on January 14, 2018, alongside Tag. Meanwhile, ABS-CBN Regional Channel on Sky Direct was rebranded as Liga, a sports channel that complements the programming of S+A with international football and local sports events, which was silently launched earlier on January 1.
Though it ceased broadcasting locally, ABS-CBN Regional Channel continued its international broadcast via iWantTFC until January 1, 2021.
