Prior to January 13, 2019, the network was known as
AksyonTV, a 24-hour news channel launched by TV5 Network (then known as ABC Development Corporation) in February 2011 after taking over the airtime of NBC television and radio stations in 2010 (TV5 Network was acquired by NBC's parent
MediaQuest Holdings from the Cojuangco /
Media Prima group earlier that March). Its original programming included simulcasts from
Radyo5 and independently produced newscasts and information programs from
News5. However, in June 2013, AksyonTV began to carry over the sports programs from
AKTV, a primetime and weekend block of
Sports5 airing over government-sequestered
Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC), after TV5 decided not to renew its agreement with IBC due to high airtime costs and low ratings. This move was heavily criticized by viewers for putting news programs and coverage on-hold. Such move, as well as losses and cost-cutting measures by TV5 Network, forces all news and current affairs programs produced by AksyonTV to be cancelled, leaving
Radyo5 simulcasts intact (which in turn, is hampered by the addition of home shopping programs).
Cignal, a sister company of TV5, soon launched its 24-hour satellite news channel,
One News which combines the news content of the media companies owned by
MediaQuest, including
News5 on May 28, 2018, replacing News5-owned
Bloomberg TV Philippines. AksyonTV continued to reformat its programs in 2017, as the network started airing reruns of American series that air or aired on TV5, including
Arrow and
Supernatural, as well as the movie block
Movie Max 5, home shopping and classic programs of TV5 in lieu of live sports programming. Following TV5's relaunch as
5 in February 2018, shifting its position from a general entertainment network to a network focusing heavily on news and sports, on November 30, T5N announced that
AksyonTV will be relaunched as 5 Plus on January 13, 2019. The new channel carried "atypical sports" programming with additional coverage from
ESPN5 and new sports-related contents which would target a younger, more adventurous audience or the
millennials. Selected
Radyo5 simulcast programs and other news content were later moved to a new stand-alone satellite Filipino news,
One PH on
Cignal, effectively bifurcating AksyonTV into two separate channels, with 5 Plus taking over analog channel 41 and digital subchannel channel 5.2 by DWET-TV. Upon the appointment of Jane Basas as president and CEO of TV5 and
Cignal TV took over the management and operations of
TV5 Network in June 2019,
5's morning sports programming moved to 5 Plus. It included the
National Football League and the
NCAA (U.S.). The vacated morning block on the flagship station was used for reruns of old entertainment programs and expanded movie blocks. On March 7, 2020, the channel was officially dissolved as
One Sports took over its channel space the following day. Meanwhile, the original Cignal TV channel was renamed to One Sports+. The former space of the channel on Cignal Channel 15, however, was still operating, showing a
test card of a promotion launch of
One Sports, and was removed on March 30 upon temporary
sign-off of One Sports, due to
coronavirus pandemic. ==Final programming==
