Defunct primetime sports programming block in the Philippines
AKTV
(pronounced "active", officially branded as
AKTV on IBC
) was the primetime sports
programming block
in the Philippines. Owned and operated by
TV5
, it occupied the 5:00 to 11:00pm timeslot of
IBC
; weekend coverage usually began at 11:00 am to 11:00 pm. It started on June 5, 2011, and it ended in May 2013 due to high airtime costs and low ratings.
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
[

]
However, on April 11, 2013, TV5 announced that the blocktime agreement with IBC would not be renewed, meaning AKTV would cease broadcasting in May 2013. The move was due to high cost and low ratings given by IBC to air over the channel.
[3]
Broadcasts of the
NCAA
basketball
tournament, and the
United Football League
were moved to
AksyonTV
/
5 Plus
, although Sports5 (now
One Sports
)-produced PBA games continue to air in the channel until October.
IBC
, later signed another blocktime agreement with
Asian Television Content Corporation
, to air a new set of primetime programs under
ATC@IBC
, which is set to aired on June 2, 2014.
[4]
[5]
Until August 31, 2014, the
ATC@IBC
primetime block was cancelled due to poor ratings and loss of advertisers' support. It is later noted that, despite the expiration of blocktime agreement, TV5 continues to use IBC-13's Broadcast City facilities for sports events including its
2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup
coverage; as
MediaQuest Holdings
is a possible bidder for the privatization of IBC-13.
[6]
However, MediaQuest could not join the privatization bid due to ownership rules and regulations that MediaQuest owns
TV5
and
AksyonTV
.
