On mid-December 2023, the station, along with the rest of the network, had its operations suspended by the National Telecommunications Commission for 30 days, through an order dated December 19 but was publicized two days later, in response to a House of Representatives resolution, in relation to the alleged franchise violations.{{cite news |last=Daanoy |first=Sonny |title=NTC slaps SMNI with 30-day suspension |url=https://mb.com.ph/2023/12/21/ntc-slaps-smni-with-30-day-suspension |date=December 21, 2023 |newspaper=Manila Bulletin |access-date=December 21, 2023}} Despite this, selected programs continue to broadcast on the station's Facebook page.
