Background

On January 5, 2022, the National Telecommunications Commission granted Channel 23 to Aliw Broadcasting Corporation under a provisional authority license. The channel was previously used by Studio 23 and S+A of ABS-CBN Corporation, marking Aliw's entry into television. [3]

The channel began its test broadcast with a live video feed of DWIZ 882 on May 6, 2022. [4] On August 10, 2022, the feed was rebranded as IZTV. The official launch took place on November 18, 2022. [5]

On January 30, 2023, the channel rebranded as ALIW Channel 23, coinciding with changes to Home Radio's provincial stations under the DWIZ network and a revamp of DWIZ's programming. An official launch event was held on June 23, 2023 at The Podium in Mandaluyong. [6]

On July 12, 2024, Aliw Channel 23 signed a partnership agreement with Cignal TV to make the channel available on Cignal and SatLite. [7] The following month, Aliw entered two partnership deals with Broadreach Media Holdings to air NewsWatch Plus programming and with Radio Philippines Network for re-runs of RPN's classic comedy shows and sitcoms.
