Significant Television Networks

The oldest and largest television network at the moment is ABS-CBN Corporation (ABS-CBN). The Lopez brothers controlled both Pinoy TV networks nationwide when the then-Alto Broadcasting System (ABS) launched DZAQ-TV Channel 3 on October 23, 1953, and the then-Chronicle Broadcasting Network (CBN) as DZXL-TV Channel 9 on April 19, 1958. For its merging companies, the corporate name was changed to ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation in 1967. While DZAQ-TV moved to channel 2, DZXL-TV, a sister station, moved to channel 4. Today, ABS-CBN is on VHF channel 2, and People's Television Network now has control over channel 4 following the EDSA People Power Revolution, which took place after these channels were sequestered by Ferdinand Marcos' cronies.

Chino Roces of the Manila Times launched TV5 Network, Inc. (TV5) in 1960. ABC stopped broadcasting in 1972 as a result of President Ferdinand Marcos' martial law. But ABC relaunched channel 5 in February 1992 and became the network with the fastest rate of expansion. It changed into TV5 in 2008.

Robert Stewart, an American journalist, launched DZBB-7 in 1961 under the name Republic Broadcasting System. In 1974, the channel's name was changed to GMA Radio-Television Arts. GMA rose to prominence across the nation and played a crucial role in the People Power Revolution in 1986. Now, in 1996, the RBS corporation changed its name to GMA Network Inc.

The Maharlika Broadcasting System (MBS) was the name of the Government Television-run DWGT-TV 4 station from 1974 to the Marcos administration, and then it was renamed People's Television (PTV) following the People Power Revolution. Its name was changed to National Broadcasting Network (NBN) in 2001, and it was changed back to PTV in 2011.
