The next time you switch to TV5, you will see a lot of awesome changes as Cignal, the #1 pay TV channel, announce their partnership in management and creative content with TV5. The new partnership aims to redefine the entertainment scene by offering topnotch shows and talents that can greatly boost TV5’s re-programming goals which have been an ongoing plan since late 2019, and now bolstered by Cignal TV’s other digital assets.
TV5 President and CEO Robert Galang announced a new partnership between the long running broadcast institution and Cignal TV, the country’s top pay TV provider, which would be its major block timer as the network reclaims its position as a contender for the top position in the country’s broadcast industry. He also serves as head of Cignal TV — a subsidiary of MediaQuest Holdings in a concurrent capacity.

Cignal TV’s nation-wide reach and technological prowess combined with the innovative and creative nature which TV5 has been known for all these years would be an exciting package for Pinoy viewers.
“We are revving up our entertainment content creation and will need creatives, talents, directors, scriptwriters, cameramen, etc.,” Cignal TV and TV5 Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan said. According to the Chairman, if they are willing and able to work with the network, then TV5 and Cignal TV are prepared to offer alternative jobs for the relevant displaced workers over time, a clear sign that they are more than ready to welcome new people and program ideas into its fold.
A major new asset is the NBA that is now available live on Cignal TV as well as TV5 and One Sports. “The NBA coming to Cignal TV and TV5 only strengthens our position of bringing the best sports to our Filipino viewers throughout the country,” Galang said.
