Yey!	ABS-CBN TV Plus Channel 4 Sky Cable Channel 1 (Metro Manila) / Channel 109 (Provincial)	May 3	May 4	Signed off for one day in support of Pacquiao-Mayweather fight. Resumed its regular operations on May 4.
Pinoy Big Brother 737 24/7 Livestream	Sky Cable Channel 85	July 3	August 17	Temporary suspension of its 24/7 livestreaming on cable and online, due to malicious posts spreading through social media about the relationship of young housemates Kenzo Gutierrez (aged 18) and Bailey May (aged 12). Program changed into SPG rating by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board on ABS-CBN after the incident, then reverted to the standard PG rating after Ryan Bacalla was evicted from the house. With the entrance of the regular housemates on Day 50, viewers were given limited streaming for two hours on weekdays, during Pinoy Big Brother: 737 Online. Resumed its 24-hour live streaming on cable and online on August 17 (which is Day 59 of the said show), after the addition of a "Parental Guidance" on-screen text (later an MTRCB adopted blue "PG" system) for the safety of its viewers.	^[55] ^[56] ^[57]
