SOLAR Television Network, Inc. announced that effective Aug. 23, its brand RPN-9 will officially relaunched its name to 9TV. This heralds the beginning of the network’s opportunity to reach a wider audience, and strengthen its presence on free TV at RPN 9.

As a major player on Philippine television, 9TV will continue to focus its programming on news and information, high-quality local entertainment and broadcast of the MBA games on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday; and will beef up its weeknight primetime shows thru foreign programs in the US and imported telenovelas in Mexico, and their weekend programming to cater to more viewers.

Likewise, the news organization of RPN under Media ng Bayan will be known as 9News. For news, public service, public affairs programs, and personnel will remain the same.

The change is in the brand name; the network will retain its objectives and values. 9TV will continue making its mark in developing an informed and inspired public, while also broadening its appeal to the free TV audience. 9News will continue to be the credible and consistent source of news and information, offering “news you can use” and back-to-basics journalism.
