RPTV is a Philippine free-to-air television network jointly owned and operated by TV5 Network, Inc. and Nine Media Corporation, together with Radio Philippines Network (RPN) as its free-to-air broadcaster. RPTV is formed under a content distribution, sales and marketing agreement between TV5, with its parent MediaQuest Holdings, and Nine Media, with the former providing programming and other related services to the latter through its existing airtime lease agreement with RPN.[1]
RPTV's local programming and master control originates from the TV5 Media Center, Reliance corner Sheridan Streets, in Mandaluyong, while it maintains its relay technical facilities at the Worldwide Corporate Center, Shaw Boulevard corner EDSA, also in Mandaluyong. The relay facility is the primary feed received by RPN transmitters and pay television providers, as well as DTH satellite providers such as MediaQuest-owned Cignal TV. It 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 was launched on February 1, 2024, replacing CNN Philippines in its channel space, following the termination of brand licensing agreement between Nine Media and CNN (under its parent company Warner Bros. Discovery) and the channel's subsequent closure on January 31.
