Jeepney TV is a Philippine pay television channel owned and operated by Creative Programs, a subsidiary of ABS-CBN Corporation. Consisting of classic television programs produced by ABS-CBN, the channel is named after a jeepney, an automotive vehicle widely used as a public transportation in the Philippines.[1] A video on demand service for the channel's programs are available worldwide via iWantTFC and TFC IPTV.[2]

History

In 2015, the channel revamped its graphics and program line-up, and the programming schedule was overhauled yet again.[3]

In July 2018, Jeepney TV became available on ABS-CBN TVplus for a free trial basis, until its franchise expiration on May 5, 2020.[4] On June 1, 2020, Jeepney TV temporarily took over ABS-CBN's channel space for ABS-CBN TVplus users due to its franchise being expired. On June 30, 2020, Jeepney TV ceased broadcasting on both ABS-CBN TV Plus and Sky Direct due to the alias cease and desist order by the National Telecommunications Commission, in connection with the expiration of ABS-CBN's congressional franchise. The channel continues to broadcast on Sky Cable and other cable television providers.[5]

On August 1, 2020, Jeepney TV began livestreaming some of its contents along with Kapamilya Channel on the online video-sharing platforms Facebook and YouTube as part of Kapamilya Online Live.[6]

The channel was made available on G Sat Channel 55 on October 5, 2020,[7] SatLite Channel 37 on November 19, 2020, [8] and Cignal Channel 44 on January 4, 2021.[9]
