On May 2, 2020, the show was suspended from airing due to the temporary closure of ABS-CBN because of the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), following the expiration of the network's 25-year franchise granted in 1995. The show eventually did not go back on-air as Boy Abunda returned to GMA Network on December 15, 2022.^[2]

The show had replaced TV Patrol Sabado (which was moved to early evenings), and was replaced by Super Kapamilya Blockbusters.^{[citation needed]}
