Events

January

  • January 15 – ABS-CBN Regional Channel and Tag ceased broadcasting due to a change in business direction of Creative Programs Inc.
  • January 16 – A day after a change in business direction of Creative Programs Inc., Liga starts its official broadcast as features the latest and classic sporting events from ABS-CBN Sports. Also as the official broadcaster of 2018 FIFA World Cup. Since the revival of their former channel, Balls went off-the-air two years of absence and a day absorbed to S+A HD which is now under their simulcast feed. The first test broadcast was launched on January 1.
  • January 31 – After 12 years of broadcasting, Filipino-dubbed anime channel Hero has ceased on the night, due to lack of advertising support and change in business direction of Creative Programs Inc. immediately after Tag and ABS-CBN Regional Channel went off-the-air 15 days after.[1]

February

  • February 12 – Light Network was renamed back as Light TV with its new slogan "God's Channel of Blessings".
  • February 17 – TV5 unveiled a new logo, a secondary name The 5 Network and station ID entitled Get It on 5, whereas the TV on the northeastern quadrant of the logo has been dropped, making it more flexible for the other divisions to use it as part of their own identity. Along with the rebranding, TV5's programming grid has also divided into five blocks: ESPN 5 (Sports), News 5 (News and Information), Anime on 5 (Japanese anime), Kids on 5 (Animation), and on 5 (Entertainment, Blocktimers and Home Shopping). In addition, the movie block Movie Max 5 was quickly retired a week before its rebranding and the Saturday night movie block Sine Squad was expanded into a daily strip; with the Saturday night portion was remained Sine Squad Prime on the same day.

March

  • March 27 – Major networks GMA Network Inc. and ABS-CBN Corporation issued a joint statement regarding their differences related to their news reports on the latter's AM radio station DZMM during the Pacquiao-Mosley fight in May 2011 based on their news on the former network's live TV broadcast (which is leased their airtime to the network by Solar Entertainment for this fight at that time) with some portions of the latter's news reports containing updates and descriptions of the fight; GMA issued a file an intellectual property violation complaint against ABS-CBN before the Intellectual Property Office. The 2 networks placed their Paid advertisement regarding the statement in the Manila Bulletin on the said date.
  • March 31 – Toonami has ceased broadcast in Southeast Asia after 5 years of broadcasting.

  • June 5
    • After more than 12 years of broadcast, 2nd Avenue on RJTV 29 ceased broadcast at 1:00 AM along with the end of blocktime agreements with Solar Entertainment Corporation and Rajah Broadcasting Network due to low ratings as well as cost cutting measures of their network. Meanwhile, the other provincial cable entities will still carry 2nd Avenue's broadcast, with the airing of marathons of some of the programs until June 30, 2018 at 2:00 AM. Several programs from this channel will be transferred to ETC and Jack TV starting June 6, 2018.
