After the CNN Philippines Shutdown, TV5 Takes Over Channel 9

Manny Pangilinand-led broadcast giant TV5 is taking over the frequency where CNN Philippines once aired its program following the latter's untimely shutdown last January 31, 2024.

MediaQuest Holdings, which operates TV5, collaborates with Radio Philippines Network Inc. The two made the launch of RPTV official in a recent press announcement. RPTV on Channel 9 on free television will now be dedicated to sports, news, and entertainment. The said firm also owns Radyo5, One News, One Sports, One PH, Sari-Sari Channel, and The Varsity Channel, among others.


"February 1 marks another historic milestone in Philippine broadcasting as TV5 launches RPTV," the television channel said in a statement. TV5 President and CEO Guido Zaballero added: "The birth of RPTV is aligned with our commitment to elevate the standards of entertainment, sports, and public service broadcasting in the Philippines."

Some of the programs that will be broadcast on the channel will cover Philippine Basketball Association games, plus 3X3, D-League, and more. Other content such as games from the Premier Volleyball League and the Gilas Pilipinas national team will be played here, as well.

Adding to the pool of shows slated to appear on Channel 9 is Eat Bulaga, the news and public service show of journalist Ted Failon and personality DJ Chacha, as well as Raffy Tulfo’s Wanted sa Radyo.


RPTV will now be on Channel 9 Analog in Manila, Cebu, and Davao; Channel 5 in Zamboanga; Channel 12 in Baguio; and Channel 8 in Bacolod. It is also available via pay TV at Cignal TV (Channel 10), SatLite (Channel 9). GSat (Channel 8) and over 300 cable and satellite providers in and around the Philippines. Content can be streamed live via the Cignal Play OTT App, as well.

RPN is co-owned by Nine Media Corp., Far East Managers and Investors Inc., Government Communications Group of the Presidential Communications Operations Office, and several private stockholders.

Oo na. Nagbabago na kasi ang panahon dahil sa internet, social media, atbp. Ang isa pa, nabawasan na yung tumatangkilik ng tunay na balita dahil ang mas pinapaboran yung mas nakakaakit sa tainga/mata ng publiko lalo pa't madali na ngayon yung access using the net with mobile devices and computers compared sa television. Marami na rin silang kakumpetensiya sa lahat ng platforms, kahit normal vloggers - yung alternative media. Di ba sa advertisements din sila kumikita. Open ground na kasi ang media ngayon. Halos lahat naman ng prime networks ay yan ang problema kaya binabagayan na lang nila using other forms (entertainment, popular trends that click, etc.) para makabawi ng profits sa napakamahal na pag-manage ng ganitong klaseng business as in the case of CNN Philippines. Negosyo kasi yan, kaya matira matibay!
