Recent developments show Piki Lopez securing the family's 'crown jewels' by ring-fencing the Lopez Holdings board, following Gabby Lopez's sale of his stake to Ramon Ang. This strategic move ensures that the Lopez family retains significant influence over their media empire despite ownership changes. The article discusses how the Lopez family has managed to keep control of ABS-CBN through various corporate maneuvers, including the recent sale of Gabby Lopez's shares to Ramon Ang, a prominent businessman. The family's control is further reinforced by their strategic positioning within the company's governance structure.

Trump Attacks Iran AND U.S. Media | FCC Threats, Rising Gas Prices & The Real Cost of War In this episode of The Karel Show, political commentator Charles Karel Bouley breaks down a chaotic weekend in American politics, media, and global conflict. Donald Trump is escalating tensions with Iran, with the war now entering its third week and reportedly costing over $21 billion. The results so far? Rising gas prices, instability in the Middle East, and an even more hardline leadership emerging in Tehran. But the conflict overseas isn’t the only battle. Trump is also targeting American media, posting on Truth Social about reshaping U.S. journalism while the FCC chair threatens broadcast licenses for stations that don’t report the war the way the administration wants. Is this media reform—or an attempt at government control of the press? Meanwhile, massive media consolidation continues as CNN prepares to become part of CBS under Larry and David Ellison, raising even more questions about the future of independent journalism. Plus in entertainment news: • The latest Oscars winners and highlights • The shocking price of celebrity autographs • How the entertainment industry is changing in the middle of political turmoil On today’s political commentary episode, Karel dives into the intersection of war, media power, and entertainment in a moment that feels increasingly volatile.
