==History==

===Early years (1960–1986)===

On June 19th, 1960, Joaquin "Chino" Roces, owner of the Manila Times, obtained a radio-TV franchise through Republic Act 2945. He established the '''Associated Broadcasting Corporation''' (ABC), with the initial studios located along Pasong Tamo in Makati, Rizal (now part of Metro Manila). ABC's first radio stations were DZMT (1100kHz), DZTM (1380kHz), and DZWS (1070kHz). Established in July 1962 as DZTM-TV Channel 5, ABC became the seventh television network to operate in the Philippines.<ref name="factbook">{{cite book |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/1970-71-TV-Factbook/TV-Factbook-1970-71.pdf |title=Television Factbook |date=1970 |publisher=Television Digest, Inc. |page=1056 |chapter=International TV Directory}}</ref> From July 1962 to September 1972, ABC operated radio and television services.

On September 23rd, 1972, President Ferdinand E. Marcos declared martial law, resulting in the forced shutdown of ABC and the Manila Times.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-09-26 |title=The First ABS-CBN Shutdown: The Darkest Era of Philippine Journalism - LionhearTV |url=https://www.lionheartv.net/2021/09/the-first-abs-cbn-shutdown-the-darkest-era-of-philippine-journalism/ |access-date=2025-10-03 |language=en-US}}</ref>

===Return and growth (1986–2003)=== After the People Power Revolution in 1986, Chino Roces advocated for the network's reinstatement with President Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino. Following Roces' death in 1988, his son Edgardo Roces took over efforts to revive the network.{{cn|date=October 2025}}<ref>{{Cite web |title= TV5 Network Incorporated - VERA Files |url=https://philippines.mom-gmr.org/en/owners/companies/detail/company//tv5-network-incorporated/ |access-date=2025-10-09 |language=en-US}}</ref> Edward Tan and Edgardo Roces secured approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to increase capitalization. Soon after, they received a permit to operate from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). In 1990, ABC completed construction of its studio complex and transmitter tower in Barangay San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City. Test broadcasts began later that year, featuring Japanese documentaries.

On February 21, 1992, the network returned to the air. The flagship station adopted the call sign DWET-TV and the corporate name became Associated Broadcasting Company—using the initial 'C' instead of 'Corporation' to reflect the new management.

Early in the network's revival, it expanded to Cebu, Davao, Baguio, Naga, Bacolod, Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro, and General Santos. By the end of 1993, the network ranked third in ratings, with two more stations planned in 1994 ahead of its satellite broadcast launch.<ref name="Number3">{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com.ph/newspapers?id=YJMVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4woEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4550%2C565026 |newspaper=Manila Standard |date=March 3, 1994 |title=Number 3 post sustained}}</ref>

In the 1990's, ABC aired a PSA called Dial His Mother's Number it was aired everyday at 6:00 pm before the Station ID and the news program Balitang-Balita during weekdays and it was lasted until 2004 when Antonio ''Tonyboy'' Cojuangco purchased the network and became the CEO of ABC.

On February 4, 1994, ABC launched nationwide satellite broadcasting. The network experienced rapid growth under the network's Chief Operating Officer Tina Monzon-Palma. On December 9, 1994, ABC obtained a 25-year legislative franchise through Republic Act No. 7831, which authorized the network to establish and operate television and radio stations countrywide.<ref>{{Cite PH act |url=https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra1994/ra_7831_1994.html |chamber=RA |number=7831 |date=December 8, 1994 |title=An Act Granting ABC Development Corporation, Under Business Name 'Associated Broadcasting Company,' a Franchise to Construct, Install, Operate and Maintain Radio and Television Broadcasting Stations in the Philippines}}</ref>

In 1998, ABC aired a daily gospel reflections from Monday to Saturday for three minutes called ''Three Minutes a Day with Father James Reuter, SJ'' produced by Family Rosary Crusade and it was aired until August 8, 2008 due to ABC 5's final sign off and it was reformatted to TV5 the next day.

In 2001, ABC started producing local versions of popular game shows, including ''The Price Is Right'' (hosted by Dawn Zulueta), ''Wheel of Fortune'' (hosted by Rustom Padilla), and ''Family Feud'' (hosted by Ogie Alcasid). The move came during a period of game show popularity among Philippine networks.

In 2001, ABC aired a daily 3 O Clock Prayer from the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Divine Mercy Maysilo Circle, Boni Avenue, Mandaluyong City and it was aired until August 8, 2008 due to ABC's farewell broadcast and it was reformatted to TV5 the next day and to focus on TV5's new programming.

===Cojuangco era (2003–2008)=== In June 2003, the joint consortium of Tan and Roces sold ABC TV and radio stations to a group led by businessman Antonio "Tony Boy" Cojuangco Jr. Cojuangco, the former chairman of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) and owner of Dream Satellite TV and Bank of Commerce, formally acquired the assets<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.philstar.com/business/2003/06/27/211519/145tonyboy146-acquire-abc-5-p4-billion |title='Tonyboy' to acquire ABC-5 for P4&nbsp;billion |work=The Philippine Star |date=June 27, 2003 |access-date=June 27, 2003 |archive-date=April 25, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220425035919/https://www.philstar.com/business/2003/06/27/211519/145tonyboy146-acquire-abc-5-p4-billion |url-status=live}}</ref> in October of the same year.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.philstar.com/business/2003/10/24/225253/tonyboy-acquires-abc-5 |title=Tonyboy acquires ABC 5 |work=The Philippine Star |date=October 24, 2003 |access-date=October 24, 2003 |archive-date=March 13, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220313095012/https://www.philstar.com/business/2003/10/24/225253/tonyboy-acquires-abc-5 |url-status=live}}</ref> Cojuangco became the president and CEO of ABC, with Jose T. Pardo, a former secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry, serving as the Network's board chairman.

Under the new management, changes were made to the news and public affairs division, broadcast equipment was upgraded, and the network acquired broadcast rights for Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) games. The network executives, led by Roberto Barreiro, also coined a new slogan, "Iba Tayo!" ("We're Different!"). With the last slogan, "Come home to ABC!", ABC aimed to differentiate itself by offering fresh and distinct programming formats, targeting the growing middle to upper-class youth market.<ref>{{cite news |last=Jazmines |first=Tessa |title=DTH station buys terrestrial TV channel |url=https://variety.com/2003/scene/markets-festivals/dth-station-buys-terrestrial-tv-channel-1117896313/ |access-date=January 11, 2019 |work=Variety |publisher=Variety Media, LLC |date=November 30, 2003 |archive-date=January 5, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190105201618/https://variety.com/2003/scene/markets-festivals/dth-station-buys-terrestrial-tv-channel-1117896313/ |url-status=live}}</ref> While implementing these changes, ABC continued to support the Family Rosary Crusade until August 3, 2008 when ABC was reformatted to TV5 on August 8, 2008. It featured the religious pre-identification campaign "Please Pray the Rosary" before its programs, although this was gradually phased out during the network's programming revamp.

In 2005, ABC received the "Outstanding TV Station" award at the 2005 KBP Golden Dove Awards, and several programs on the Network also received awards in their respective categories.

In early 2007, ABC implemented budget cuts that mainly affected its news department, resulting in significant layoffs and a diminished capacity for coverage before the 2007 general elections.

In November 2007, ABC launched new sports programming, including NBA basketball, professional boxing, and WWE events, as part of a five-year deal with Solar Entertainment. Due to high costs and poor ratings, the programs were dropped throughout 2008. The NBA review show "House of Hoops" was cut back and eventually cancelled by April 2008. The PBA, which was previously aired on ABC, did not have its contract renewed and instead found a new home on RPN through a partnership with Solar Entertainment, leading to RPN's privatization by Solar in 2011.

==== ABC-MPB Primedia partnership (2008–2010) ==== In March 2008, "Tony Boy" Cojuangco announced a partnership between ABC and MPB Primedia Inc., a local company backed by Media Prima Berhad of Malaysia. The partnership was a long-term strategy to enhance ABC's competitiveness in the network wars between ABS-CBN and GMA.

Despite financial struggles, TV5 remained operational. The network's programming, such as the PBA via Sports5 and the TV5 Kids block, contributed to its popularity. TV5 celebrated its fifth anniversary under the management of Manny V. Pangilinan with a trade launch of 2015 shows at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza on November 26, 2014.<ref name="2015 New Shows">{{cite web |url=http://www.interaksyon.com/entertainment/gallery-tv5-to-spread-happiness-good-cheer-with-new-shows-for-2015/ |title=TV5 to spread happiness, good cheer with new shows for 2015 |website=Interaksyon |date=November 27, 2014 |access-date=November 27, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141205065947/http://www.interaksyon.com/entertainment/gallery-tv5-to-spread-happiness-good-cheer-with-new-shows-for-2015/ |archive-date=December 5, 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

TV5 started each year with a New Year's Eve countdown called "''Happy sa [year]"'' at the Quezon Memorial Circle, a tradition that continued until 2017.

In 2015, the Network changed its corporate name from '''ABC Development Corporation''' to '''TV5 Network, Inc.'''

TV5 experienced growing financial difficulties, including losses and debt, primarily due to a reduction in advertisers and the effects of digitalization. This situation led to employee layoffs in September 2015. The network's in-house entertainment division was disbanded, and its Chief Entertainment Content Officer, Wilma Galvante, ended her consultancy agreement. Consequently, TV5's workforce significantly decreased from around 4,000 employees in 2013–2014 to approximately 900 by late 2021.

Unable to produce original content until 2020, TV5 appointed Vicente "Vic" Del Rosario, CEO of Viva Entertainment, as the Network's Chief Entertainment Strategist. Changes were implemented in TV5's entertainment programming, including the formation of the Viva-TV5 joint venture Sari-Sari Channel and the outsourcing of Viva Television for entertainment shows. The partnership was announced at a trade launch in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig on November 25, 2015. However, several new shows were cancelled due to a lack of advertising support and poor ratings. TV5 renewed its partnership with Viva Entertainment in October 2020, focusing on local versions of foreign programming and TV remakes of Viva classic films.

From January 2016 until December 31, 2018, TV5 and Cignal, through Hyper, served as the official free-to-air and pay television partners, respectively, for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the Philippines.

In July 2016, TV5 started airing selected programs from MTV and MTV International as part of a deal with Viacom International Media Networks. The new ''MTV on TV5'' block included shows like ''Catfish'', ''Ridiculousness,'' and ''Ex on the Beach.''

On September 8, 2016, TV5 cancelled its locally produced programs ''Aksyon Bisaya'' and ''Aksyon Dabaw'' due to cost-cutting measures. The personnel remained employed to continue filing reports for the national edition of ''Aksyon''.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/local-news/2016/09/09/cost-cutting-leaves-tv5-cebu-journalists-workers-limbo-496590 |title=Cost cutting leaves TV5 Cebu journalists, workers in limbo |publisher=Sun.Star Cebu |last=Baquero |first=Elias O. |date=September 8, 2016 |access-date=September 9, 2016 |archive-date=September 9, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160909161448/http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/local-news/2016/09/09/cost-cutting-leaves-tv5-cebu-journalists-workers-limbo-496590 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

TV5 President and CEO Emmanuel "Noel" C. Lorenzana stepped down on September 30, 2016, and was replaced by basketball coach and Sports5/D5 Studio head Vicente "Chot" Reyes. Following Reyes' appointment, the Network announced a retrenchment of approximately 200 employees as part of TV5's digitalization efforts.

In April 2017, TV5 acquired the rights to air WWE programming after Fox Philippines decided not to renew its contract with the WWE.

On October 12, 2017, TV5 Network announced its partnership with ESPN, obtaining the licensing rights for PBA, UFC, PSL, and the NFL, as well as access to ESPN programs and content. The partnership led to the formation of the '''ESPN5''' brand, which aired on TV5 and AksyonTV.<ref>{{cite news |title=TV5 and ESPN collaborate to launch ESPN 5 |url=http://sports.tv5.com.ph/sports5/article/tv5-and-espn-collaborate-to-launch-espn-5 |work=Sports5 |publisher=TV5 Network, Inc. |date=October 11, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171012201619/http://sports.tv5.com.ph/sports5/article/tv5-and-espn-collaborate-to-launch-espn-5 |archive-date=October 12, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author1=Interaksyon |title=ESPN-5 IS HERE &#124; TV5 announces partnership with 'Worldwide Leader in Sports' |url=http://www.interaksyon.com/sports/2017/10/12/102970/espn-5-is-here-tv5-announces-partnership-with-worldwide-leader-in-sports/ |access-date=January 11, 2019 |work=Interaksyon |publisher=Philstar Global Corporation |date=October 12, 2017 |archive-date=January 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111175443/http://www.interaksyon.com/sports/2017/10/12/102970/espn-5-is-here-tv5-announces-partnership-with-worldwide-leader-in-sports/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The move was part of TV5's temporary shift from a general entertainment station to a sports and news channel.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mercurio |first1=Richmond |title=TV5 narrows losses in 2018 |url=https://www.philstar.com/business/2019/01/11/1883955/tv5-narrows-losses-2018 |access-date=January 11, 2019 |work=The Philippine Star |publisher=Philstar Global Corp. |date=January 11, 2019 |archive-date=January 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111122038/https://www.philstar.com/business/2019/01/11/1883955/tv5-narrows-losses-2018 |url-status=live}}</ref>

===The 5 Network era and reverting to TV5 (2018–2020)=== thumb|Logo used from February 17, 2018, to present with the current "5" wordmark used since April 4, 2010 On February 17, 2018, TV5 underwent a rebranding and was relaunched as the 5 Network or simply '''5'''. The new logo featured the removal of the word "'''TV'''" and was designed to be more flexible for other divisions to use it as part of TV5's identity. The programming grid was divided into three blocks – ESPN5 for sports, News5 for news programs, and 'On 5' for other content. Additionally, D5 Studio focused on digital content, while Studio 5 produced Filipino productions for various platforms. The "Kapatid" ("sibling") moniker was de-emphasized during the period and was mainly used by News5 and ESPN5 for some programs. The network phased out Filipino-dubbed movies and foreign-acquired programming, which had been a practice since 2008, while Disney programs and movies aired in their original audio until 2019.

On January 13, 2019, TV5 introduced a variation of its 2018 logo, which included the respective websites of the division producing the program as part of their on-screen graphics following the launch of 5 Plus.

On April 22, 2019, TV5's legislative franchise was renewed for another 25 years under Republic Act No. 11320.<ref>{{Cite PH act |chamber=RA |number=11320 |url=https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra2019/ra_11320_2019.html |title=An Act Renewing for Another Twenty-Five (25) Years the Franchise Granted to ABC Development Corporation, Presently Known as TV5 Network, Inc., Under Republic Act No. 7831, Entitled "An Act Granting ABC Development Corporation, Under Business Name 'Associated Broadcasting Company,' a Franchise to Construct, Install, Operate and Maintain Radio and Television Broadcasting Stations in the Philippines" |date=April 22, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Balinbin |first1=A.L |title=TV5 franchise renewed for another 25 years |url=https://www.bworldonline.com/tv5-franchise-renewed-for-another-25-years/ |website=BusinessWorld |access-date=June 9, 2020 |date=July 19, 2019 |archive-date=June 9, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200609121906/https://www.bworldonline.com/tv5-franchise-renewed-for-another-25-years/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

On June 3, 2019, Chot Reyes retired as TV5 President and CEO and was succeeded by Jane Basas, who led Pay TV provider and radio company Cignal TV/Mediascape. Under Basas' leadership, the network outsourced news and sports programming from its co-owned Cignal channels, phased out daytime ESPN5 programs, focused on archived entertainment programs, and expanded movie blocks on 5 Plus. Plans for the network included retaining existing news programs and sports content in prime time and reintroducing original entertainment programming through outsourcing. Perci Interlan returned as the head of programming in November.

On February 4, 2020, Robert P. Galang was appointed as the new president and CEO of TV5 Network and Cignal TV, replacing Basas, who in turn was appointed as the Chief Marketing Officer of Smart Communications.

On March 8, 2020, 5 Plus was relaunched as One Sports, and the ESPN5 division was renamed and merged into the brand. The sports programming on 5 no longer carried the ''ESPN5'' banner. The ESPN5 partnership continued online, with ESPN5.com serving as the sports portal of One Sports and ESPN in the Philippines until October 13, 2021.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Maragay |first=Dino |date=October 13, 2021 |title=Final buzzer sounds on ESPN5's sports website |url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2021/10/13/2133868/final-buzzer-sounds-espn5s-sports-website |url-status=live |access-date=October 14, 2021 |website=The Philippine Star |archive-date=October 13, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211013032904/https://www.philstar.com/sports/2021/10/13/2133868/final-buzzer-sounds-espn5s-sports-website}}</ref> TV5 Network announced on the same day that 5 would be rebranded as '''One TV''' on April 13, 2020.

On July 27, 2020, Cignal TV, TV5, and Smart Communications announced a multi-year deal with the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the league's official broadcast rights in the Philippines, replacing Solar Entertainment Corporation. The games during the 2019–2020 season were aired live on free-to-air networks TV5 and One Sports. This marked the return of the NBA to TV5 since the partnership between the then-ABC and Solar Entertainment Corporation from 2007 to 2008.

On April 16, 2023, TV5 began broadcasting in anamorphic 16:9 aspect ratio on free-to-air digital television.

==Branding== ===Network name changes=== TV5, originally known as the Associated Broadcasting Corporation (ABC),<ref name="ra2945" /> has changed its name several times.

:*'''Associated Broadcasting Corporation''' (1960–1972): Founded by Joaquin "Chino" Roces in 1960, ABC was forced to shut down in 1972 due to the declaration of Martial Law by President Marcos. :*'''Associated Broadcasting Company''' (1992–2008): Fully restored in 1992 after being granted a new franchise, ABC was led by new stockholders Edward Tan and Edgardo Roces. Businessman Antonio O. Cojuangco Jr. acquired the company in 2003. :*'''TV5''' (first era; 2008–2018): Renamed TV5 after entering a partnership with MPB Primedia, Inc., backed by the Malaysian media group Media Prima Berhad. In 2010, Media Prima divested its share to MediaQuest Holdings, Inc., owned by{{citation needed|date=January 2026}} Manuel V. Pangilinan. The TV5 branding became obsolete when the network was relaunched as "''5''" on February 17, 2018. :*'''5 (The 5 Network)''' (2018–2020): TV5 was rebranded as The 5 Network or simply 5 in 2018. The network utilized a numerical 5 logo and divided its programming grid into news, sports, and entertainment. However, the '''TV5''' branding was still used to refer to both the network itself and the company, as well as for sign-on and sign-off messages, social media accounts, and selected program teasers. "The 5 Network" branding was retired on August 14, 2020, but the numerical 5 logo variant from 2019 was retained. The "5" naming was reinstated in 2021 for TV5's current slogan, "Iba sa 5". :*'''One TV''' (cancelled; 2020): Originally planned for rebranding on April 13, 2020, and later rescheduled for July 20, 2020, One TV was ultimately cancelled due to viewer confusion and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, thus making the network revert to the TV5 branding. :*'''TV5''' (second era; 2020–present): TV5 was officially restored as the network's full-time identity on August 15, 2020, coinciding with the return of local entertainment programs. The "TV5" is commonly used for program teasers on TV, radio, and social media.

TV5 has used several logos throughout its history. Notable variations include the pinwheel logo from 1992 to 2004, the ABC logo with a yellow circle introduced in 2004, and the shaking television logo adopted after the 2008 relaunch. In 2018, TV5 introduced the numerical 5 logo, which was redesigned from the 2010 logo, which dropped the "TV" word and incorporated the program title within the logo. A variation of this logo was unveiled in 2019, which featured a light red color, but changed to a darker red color in 2021 and modified into a 3D variant in 2026.

==Programming== {{Main|List of TV5 original programming}}

TV5 was relaunched in 2008 and gained significant popularity, notably for its ''AniMEGA'' anime programming block.

AniMEGA'' returned across several relaunches; it aired again in both 2015 and 2017 and partnered with Aniplus Asia<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-12-13/philippines-tv5-brings-back-animega-anime-block-in-2017/.109834|title=Philippines' TV5 Brings Back ANiMEGA Anime Block in 2017|publisher=Anime News Network|date=December 13, 2016|access-date=November 29, 2021|archive-date=November 29, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211129103846/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-12-13/philippines-tv5-brings-back-animega-anime-block-in-2017/.109834|url-status=live}}</ref> to bring shows such as ''Sword Art Online'',<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.animepilipinas.com/2015/02/15/tv5-brings-back-the-tv5-animega-branding/|title=TV5 brings back the 'TV5 AniMEGA' branding|publisher=Anime Pilipinas|date=February 15, 2015|access-date=February 15, 2015|archive-date=February 26, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226145122/http://www.animepilipinas.com/2015/02/15/tv5-brings-back-the-tv5-animega-branding/|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Attack on Titan: Junior High''<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-01-06/tv5-animega-anime-block-returns-on-january-9-with-3-anime-series/.110711|title=TV5's ANiMEGA Anime Block Returns on January 9 With 3 Anime Series|publisher=Anime News Network|date=January 6, 2017|access-date=November 29, 2021|archive-date=November 29, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211129103846/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-01-06/tv5-animega-anime-block-returns-on-january-9-with-3-anime-series/.110711|url-status=live}}</ref> and ''Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?''.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.animepilipinas.com/2017/04/30/wrong-try-pick-girls-dungeon-premieres-tv5-may/|title=Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? premieres on TV5 this May|publisher=Anime Pilipinas|date=April 30, 2017|access-date=April 30, 2017|archive-date=October 21, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171021043503/https://www.animepilipinas.com/2017/04/30/wrong-try-pick-girls-dungeon-premieres-tv5-may/|url-status=live}}</ref> The network also gained attention for its original horror drama series ''Midnight DJ'' (2008–2011) and its broadcast of Filipino-dubbed Singaporean series ''The Little Nyonya'', ''Under One Roof'', and ''Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd''.<ref>{{cite news |title=TV5's drama delight & laughternoon break |url=https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2009/09/24/507736/tv5s-drama-delight-laughternoon-break |website=Philstar.com |date=September 24, 2009 |access-date=December 15, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=MediaCorp Launches Block in the Philippines |url=https://worldscreen.com/mediacorp-launches-block-in-the-philippines/ |website=World Screen |date=September 10, 2009 |access-date=February 9, 2025}}</ref>

TV5 also aired a number of tabloid talk shows that often featured heated on-air confrontations, such as ''Face to Face''.

In 2013, TV5 introduced the ''Weekend Do It Better'' and ''Everyday All The Way'' programming blocks, but many programs were discontinued due to low ratings. In 2014, the network launched a new set of programs under the "Happy Ka Dito!" campaign.

In 2015, TV5 refocused on light entertainment, lifestyle and sports with the "Happy sa 2015" campaign, introducing over a dozen new programs. During this time, TV5's entertainment programming was produced by various content providers, including MQ Studios, Unitel Productions, Viva Television, Regal Entertainment, The IdeaFirst Company, and Content Cows Company Inc. In 2015, TV5 named Sari-Sari Channel its main entertainment production outfit after signing a deal with Viva Entertainment.

In 2016, the network aired ''The Walking Dead'' and ''La Reina del Sur'', both dubbed in Filipino. The same year, director Brillante Mendoza collaborated with TV5 to produce made-for-TV movies under the ''Brillante Mendoza Presents'' umbrella. In 2018, he also premiered a crime drama series titled ''Amo''.

In 2017, the network began to broadcast NFL games, which would continue until 2019.<ref>{{cite web |date=September 7, 2017|author=ralphierce|title=TV5 Pulls Out Cartoon Network Shows, Refurbish Lineup Anew with NFL, Cockfighting, Japan Japan and Amo|publisher=From the Tube|url=https://fromthetube.wordpress.com/2017/09/07/tv5-pulls-out-cartoon-network-shows-refurbish-lineup-anew-with-nfl-cockfighting-japan-japan-and-amo/|access-date=October 10, 2017|archive-date=October 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171010160525/https://fromthetube.wordpress.com/2017/09/07/tv5-pulls-out-cartoon-network-shows-refurbish-lineup-anew-with-nfl-cockfighting-japan-japan-and-amo/|url-status=live}}</ref> Selected local shows from the Sari-Sari Channel were also shown under the ''Sari-Sari sa Weekends'' banner. Brillante Mendoza's crime drama series ''Amo'' premiered in 2018 after a long delay.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, TV5 filled many vacant slots with new programs due to the lack of sporting events in 2020. ''Tierra de Reyes'', ''Betty sa NY'', ''Reina de Corazones'', and ''La suerte de Loli'' were among the Spanish-language telenovelas dubbed in Filipino, along with the re-dubbed versions of ''Marimar'', ''María Mercedes'', and ''María la del Barrio''.<ref name="TV5offer" /> The network had also acquired the rights to broadcast NBA games.
