ABS-CBN → ABS-CBN Corporation – Less ambiguous, arguably "ABS-CBN" is the WP:COMMONNAME for the network/channel rather than the subject (company) featured in this article. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 14:10, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

• Support, and in the same vein would support moving ABS-CBN (TV network) here. Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 14:43, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

  @Hariboneagle927:, if your intention was to get the TV network moved here too, you might want to consider using {{subst:Requested move|ABS-CBN Corporation|current2 = ABS-CBN (TV network)|new2 = ABS-CBN}} to indicate that the other page would be moved as well. If that wasn't your intention, then what would you suggest happens to this page? Best, Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 14:48, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

  This is a different entity. ABS-CBN Corporation is an umbrella organization covering several networks and other subsidiaries. Like Jollibee is different from Jollibee Foods Corporation.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 17:25, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose - The corporation is the clear WP:Primarytopic over the channel. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 03:23, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose Neutral per WP:Primarytopic. Movies Time (talk) 06:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• Strong support per @Hariboneagle927:'s rationale. As a user from Bulacan, I strongly support it. This is my own experience, most especially recently due to the controversy made by NTC in heeding SolGen and FICTAP's claims. I typed en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABS-CBN, expecting that I landed on the article of the TV channel itself, same as millions of Filipinos. Instead I horribly landed at the article on its company. I disagree WP:PRIMARYTOPIC rationale - WP:COMMONNAME supersedes it for this case. Also ABS-CBN is a more recognizable name for the topic about the TV channel.

• Support per Hariboneagle927 and JWilz12345. As a foreigner to the Philippines, I would expect the content in ABS-CBN (TV network) for ABS-CBN instead. robertsky (talk) 13:23, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• Support. ABS-CBN is WP:COMMONNAME for the TV network. This wiki is about the corporation and should be named as such. --Quidquidlatetadparebit (talk) 14:25, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• Support. As far as RS's are concerned, the primary topic for "ABS-CBN" is the TV network that was recently forced to go off air due to non renewal of franchise by govt. ABS-CBN shutdown as reported in media clearly refers to the free tv channel closing down as the company continues to operate on other platforms or other subsidiaries.--RioHondo (talk) 19:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• Support I was surprised the corporate article was under this name rather than the actual network, and the disambiguation is proper. Nate • (chatter) 21:40, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• Strongly support As this article is about a corporation and not just a TV network. The move will avoid the confusion of its readers. Best example of this is the company named "Facebook, Inc." and the social networking service, "Facebook". NoahR25 (talk) 01:49, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
• Support per above, "ABS-CBN" is the network. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 08:44, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
• Support per above, then move ABS-CBN (TV network) to ABS-CBN. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 08:47, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
• Strongly support to move ABS-CBN (TV network) to ABS-CBN; and separate article ABS-CBN Corporation for the corporation. iamdumdum (talk) 10:20, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
• Support just like how Fox Broadcasting Company or FOX is distinguished from Fox Corporation. Besides, GMA Network directly points to the channel article while the company is GMA Network (company). — Emperork (talk) 21:22, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
• Support per the following above. I had initially opposed it, but I've changed my mind.Fixer88 (talk) 05:06, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
