AKTV (pronounced "active") is the defunct primetime sports programming block in the Philippines. Owned and operated by TV5, it occupies the 5:00 to 11:00pm timeslot of IBC; weekend coverage usually begins at 11:00 am to 11:00 pm. It started since June 5, 2011 until May 2013 due to high airtime costs.

History[edit]

IBC signed a blocktime agreement with TV5's sports division Sports5 to air live sports coverage via its new programming block AKTV.[1][2] It was launched on June 5, 2011, with the AKTV Run held outside SM Mall of Asia in Bay City, Pasay.

Cancellation[edit]

However, on April 11, 2013, TV5 announces that the blocktime agreement with IBC will not be renewed, making AKTV to cease broadcasting in May 31. The move was due to high cost given by IBC to air over the channel.[3] There are now plans to move some programs from AKTV to TV5 and AksyonTV such as the PBA and LBC United Football League.
