NET25 started its operations on July 27, 1999, and was officially launched on April 23, 2000, through a multimedia exhibit dubbed Destination: NET 25. In late April 2001, NET25 (along with sister station
DZEC-AM) was the only station airing live coverage of the
Pro-Estrada Rally (also known as EDSA III) - the rally ended in a failed siege of the Malacañang Presidential Palace on May 1, 2001. When Net 25 became known for blow-by-blow accounts of Philippine Events including
Philippine National Elections,
Philippine presidential inauguration,
the Philippine President's State of the Nation Address and the
Iglesia ni Cristo's anniversary event (every July 27 of the year). The programming originally consisted of teleradyo programs such as
Liwanagin Natin,
Con Todos Recados and
Openline, canned programs related to technology, arts, lifestyle, and culture, as well as religious programs from the
Iglesia ni Cristo including
Ang Tamang Daan. Net 25 eventually began introducing more original programs such as Spoon, MOMents, and Tribe. From September 1 until 7, 2009, NET25 along with
CEBSI-owned
GEM TV (now INC TV), were the only stations airing the live coverage of the wake and funeral of Iglesia ni Cristo's executive minister
Eraño Manalo. Prior to this, during the network's news update, then-NET25 newscaster Eunice Mariño and then-INC spokesperson Bienvenido Santiago announced that Manalo died at the age of 84 due to
Cardiac arrest. In November 2011, NET25 introduced a new station ID introducing the tagline ''Dito na 'ko'' (I'm Here), which replaced the old tagline
Feed Your Mind, signaling NET25's thrust to appeal to a more mainstream audience. On January 4, 2014, NET25 introduced a new station ID with a simple blue text superimposed on a
Philippine eagle-inspired logo. During the week of July 21–27, 2014, NET25 was the official broadcaster of the
Iglesia ni Cristo centennial celebrations. In July 2015, due to the onslaught of the
INC leadership scandals, NET25 was relaunched with the slogan
I Am One With 25 (a secularly-altered version of the code for the INC's Executive Minister
Eduardo Manalo,
I Am One With EVM), for a new slogan of the network in line with its new programming thrusts through its support of the INC's Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo. On August 27–31, 2015, NET25 preempted all regular programming to give way to the coverage of the
Iglesia ni Cristo peaceful assembly. On May 6, 2018, NET25 was the official broadcaster of the INC Worldwide Walk to Fight Poverty charity event. On October 4, 2020, NET25 relaunched its logo retaining the "NET25" 2014 wordmark, changing its color to gold and added the golden Philippine Eagle on the top (later removed in December 2023). At the same time, NET25 introduced its new programs such as
Tagisan ng Galing,
Happy Time,
Kesayasaya, and
EBC Music: #EnjoyMusicBeyondTheCrisis. On October 31, 2021, NET25 relaunched again its slogan as ''Let's Net Together sa NET25'' with a new station jingle and new station ID, re-imaging itself as a station targeting not only Iglesia ni Cristo members, but also a broader audience. On February 8, 2022, NET25 covered the campaign events of then-presidential candidate and former senator
Bongbong Marcos and then-vice presidential candidate and then-
Davao City mayor
Sara Duterte held in the
Philippine Arena,
Ciudad de Victoria,
Bocaue, Bulacan during the network's primetime news program,
Mata ng Agila. On December 5, 2022,
Eric Quizon was tapped by EBC/NET25 management to become the head of NET25's newest talent management arm, NET25 Star Center. On April 23, 2025, NET25 celebrated its 25th anniversary of broadcasting. ==Digital television==
