ABC-5 will become TV5 on August 9

Goodbye ABC-5 and Welcome TV5.

Have you notice ABC-5's farewell message airing every day? Their are now closing the old chapters of ABC-5 history and they are now making way to much higher and more exciting shows.

ABC-5 company had entered into a "major blocktime agreement" with MPB Primedia, Inc., a Philippine corporation backed by Media Prima Berhad of Malaysia.

This agreement has resulted in a new look and a new target market for the broadcasting company. Starting August 9, ABC-5 will be known as TV5, a channel that promises to target "under-served demographic of 30 and below including those who are young at heart—generally the progressive Pinoys who are open to change and are willing to try new things and experiences."

TV5 will offer various show genres such as reality, drama, variety, teens & toons, and movies.

I know this new joint venture will be a fresh alternative to the country's two major networks (ABS-CBN and GMA-7).


The newly repositioned TV station will broadcast using a 120kW transmitter.

TV5 is a television channel brand of MPB Primedia, Inc., a Philippine domestic corporation, which entered into a long-term block air time agreement with Associated Broadcast Company, which is headed by Mr. Cojuangco.
