RPTV is a Philippine free-to-air television network jointly owned and operated by TV5 Network, Inc., and Nine Media Corporation, with Radio Philippines Network (RPN) serving as its free-to-air broadcaster. RPTV was established through a content distribution, sales, and marketing agreement between TV5 (under its parent company MediaQuest Holdings) and Nine Media. Under this arrangement, TV5 provides programming and related services to Nine Media through its existing airtime lease agreement with RPN.[1]
RPTV’s local programming and master control originate from the TV5 Media Center located at the corner of Reliance and Sheridan Streets in Mandaluyong. It also maintains relay technical facilities at the Worldwide Corporate Center, located at the corner of Shaw Boulevard and EDSA, also in Mandaluyong. This relay facility is the primary feed for RPN transmitters, pay television providers, and direct-to-home (DTH) satellite providers, including MediaQuest-owned Cignal TV. The network operates daily from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight PHT and goes off-air annually during Holy Week, from Maundy Thursday to Black Saturday..
RPTV officially launched on February 1, 2024, replacing CNN Philippines in its channel space. This followed the termination of the brand licensing agreement between Nine Media and CNN (under its parent company Warner Bros. Discovery), resulting in CNN Philippines’ closure on January 31, 2024.
