Channel V Pinoy

Channel [V] Philippines is a 24-hour Filipino music/entertainment cable television network owned by STAR TV and Fox International Channels Philippines in partnership with Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation to start collaborating on local productions, events, marketing and advertising sales.

The channel will now target the 15-40 age bracket and youth audiences with music videos as its primary content, a strategy reminiscent of the early days of MTV.

Background
Prior to the return of Channel V to the Philippines, plans were discussed when Chavit Singson, the head of Channel V decided to bring back Channel V Philippines almost after a two-year hiatus since 2012. She stated that she sought to put her heart on launching Channel V back for the sake of young Filipino people and the importance of the Philippine music industry.

On January 16, 2014, it was announced that Fox International Channels Philippine is looking for partnership for the re-launch. Singson asked first to make amends for agreement to the sequestered TV network Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation founder and chairman Jose Avellana confirmed that IBC will be partnering Channel V to collaborate on local production, on-ground events, marketing and advertising sales. After finding a new partnership in IBC, the plan now is to localize all programming.

Last February 1, 2014 at exactly 03:00 P.M., Channel V Philippines started its commercial operations with its first program Halo-Halo [V] with VJ RJ. Forevermore performed by David Archuleta is the first music video to be aired on Channel V Philippines.

Channel V Philippines reached its coverage to over 1.22 million Filipino households all over the country in initial broadcast.

In February 1, 2016, the network celebrated its 2nd year anniversary.
