Originally, local UHF channel 41 was intended to broadcast local programming under the supervision of
Nation Broadcasting Corporation. Sometime in 2000,
MTV Networks Asia Pacific, operator of
MTV (Music Television) brand in Asia wanted to transmit its music channel on terrestrial television in the Philippines. Eventually, MTV Networks Asia Pacific entered into an agreement with Nation Broadcasting Corporation to transmit its localize music channel via its UHF channel and started broadcasting
MTV Philippines on January 1, 2001, until the partnership ended on February 15, 2007. In March 2010
MediaQuest Holdings, a
PLDT subsidiary, the Philippines' largest telecommunication company, announced the acquisition of
ABC Development Corporation, broadcaster of
TV5 from the joint consortium led by former PLDT Chairman Antonio "Tonyboy" O. Cojuangco Jr. and Malaysian media conglomerate
Media Prima Berhad. In October 2010, through its flagship station, it took over the management of Nation Broadcasting Corporation and its radio and television businesses, particularly
92.3 News FM and
UHF channel 41. Consequently, UHF channel 41 went on air and began its initial test broadcast of its radio station 92.3 News FM from 12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m. (
Philippine Standard Time,
UTC+8). In December 2010, ABC Development Corporation announced plans to launch its own news and sport-related channel. On February 21, 2011,
AksyonTV started its commercial broadcast launched as TV5 introduced the new UHF channel. was launched at exactly 4 am, airing its first program,
Andar ng Mga Balita, hosted by
Martin Andanar, which was a simulcast of the morning news program on Radyo5 News FM of the same title. On June 3, 2013, several sports programs from
IBC 13's defunct
blocktimer AKTV were carried over to AksyonTV. This was done by the
TV5 Network, Inc. management after the deal expired on May 31, 2013. News and public affairs programs were either moved to a new timeslot or canceled. Since December 2013, AksyonTV removed its 24-hour broadcasting activities due to cost-cutting measures by the management as well as NTC's rules and regulations for affiliated free-to-air TV stations. Since the
2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, AksyonTV is one of the official Olympics broadcasters in the Philippines, together with TV5 and
Cignal. Since July 21, 2014, AksyonTV ceased producing any independent newscasts including news advisories (e.g.
Aksyon Breaking,
Aksyon Weather). This was done after TV5 unified all of its newscasts under the
Aksyon brand. Since October 2015, AksyonTV dropped its simulcast of the
PBA games after the move of the
Filsports Basketball Association from
PTV as part of PTV-4 reorganization and the taped airing of the
PCBL and other
PSL games on the same network every weeknights and weekends. In January 2016, AksyonTV further improved its sports programming, starting the year with the return of the
PBA D-League on
Sports5 and being the second home of the
UFC (including
The Ultimate Fighter) and the
PGA tour after its parent network TV5 and satellite channel
Hyper. By December 19, 2016, AksyonTV moved from Cignal Channel 1 to Channel 6. In 2017, as
Chot Reyes become president and CEO of TV5 Network Inc., AksyonTV began to
shift as a complement sister station of TV5, as the network started airing reruns of American series that air or aired on the station, including
Arrow and
Supernatural, as well as Movie Max 5 block and home shopping in lieu of live sports programming. In December of the same year, the channel also added classic TV5 local programming. The network also expanded its broadcast hours till 1:00 am on selected days. The practice being similar to rival
GMA News TV was also heavily criticized by viewers, putting news programs and coverage on-hold for these kind of programming. As a complement,
Cignal, a sister company of TV5, launched its 24-hour satellite news channel,
One News which combines news content of the media companies owned by
MediaQuest, including
News5 on May 28, 2018. On November 30, 2018, the channel was teased to rebrand as
5 Plus (now
One Sports as of 2020). The network's programming is primarily sports, with additional coverage from
ESPN5, along with sports-related content which will target
millennials. Public service program
Buhay OFW and home shopping block
EZ Shop are the only non-sports programs from AksyonTV to be carried to 5 Plus (both of which were eventually cancelled by Q2 2019). The channel cease its broadcast on January 13, 2019. ==Final programming==
