2020 Metro Manila frequency repacking

The 2020 Metro Manila frequency repacking will consist a series of events involving frequency switches and analog frequency shutdown that resulted in a broad change of channels throughout the Metro Manila market giving way for the integration and a headstart for the digital television transition in the Philippines.
== Background ==
(From Wikipedia)
The collective moves of UHF and VHF television stations to accommodate the elimination of the 600 MHz band came to be known as repacking. During the advent of virtual channels after the transition to digital television , it was possible for any given broadcast channel to change frequencies while still retaining their long-standing channel numbers for identification and branding purposes.
== History ==
During the advent of analog television, the UHF frequencies have paved way for many companies to apply for as much as 20 stations in Metro Manila, time by time it became too crowded and provided interferences with each other.
On November 17, 2017, the Broadcasters Union of the Philippines announced their proposed guidelines for the move. All stations would keep their coverage area as it was, if possible. Channel 37 would become a vacant frequency for broadcasting and wireless services. Each station would be given a specific date to make its upgrades, with all stations expected to complete the transition after October 2020. Whether they are independent or not, they would be given a specific frequency or join another independent broadcaster to carry their program. The governing body approved the framework, and set the date for the beginning of the repacking.
After the BUP meeting on January 2018 with big companies  agreed to the framework, they agreed to surrender the licenses of affected frequencies and will start integrating their content on digital starting the next year to pave way for upgrades ans enough time to bade farewell to their respective audiences.
