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 pm to 11 pm timeslot of IBC; weekend coverage usually began at 11 am to 11 pm. It started on June 5, 2011, and it ended on May 31, 2013 due to high airtime costs and low ratings.

History

IBC signed a blocktime agreement with TV5's sports division Sports5 to air live sports coverage via its new programming block AKTV.[https://archive.today/20120906123817/http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=672524 TV5 airs primetime sports block AKTV on IBC-13] PhilStar.com.

However, on April 11, 2013, TV5 announced that the blocktime agreement with IBC would not be renewed, meaning AKTV would cease broadcasting on May 31, 2013. The move was due to high cost and low ratings given by IBC to air over the channel.[http://www.interaksyon.com/business/59212/mediaquest-block-time-agreement-with-ibc-ends-in-may-mvp-says MediaQuest block time agreement with IBC ends in May, MVP says] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130415022818/http://www.interaksyon.com/business/59212/mediaquest-block-time-agreement-with-ibc-ends-in-may-mvp-says |date=April 15, 2013 }} retrieved April 11, 2013 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 6. 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.{{cite web | url=http://negosentro.com/atc-takes-a-bite-at-philippine-tv-primetime/ | title=ATC Takes a Bite at Philippine TV Primetime | publisher=NegoSentro | date=May 14, 2014 | access-date=May 15, 2014}}{{cite news | url=http://manilastandardtoday.com/2014/04/26/channel-13-back-in-harness/ | title=Channel 13 back in harness | newspaper=Manila Standard Today | date=April 26, 2014 | access-date=May 16, 2014 | archive-date=May 20, 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140520020618/http://manilastandardtoday.com/2014/04/26/channel-13-back-in-harness/ | url-status=dead }} 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.{{cite web|url=http://businessmirror.com.ph/~businfk5/index.php/en/business/banking-finance/38915-tv5-using-ibc-13-facilities |title=TV5 using IBC-13 facilities |publisher=BusinessMirror |date=September 17, 2014 |access-date=September 18, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141204232534/http://businessmirror.com.ph/~businfk5/index.php/en/business/banking-finance/38915-tv5-using-ibc-13-facilities |archive-date=December 4, 2014 }} However, MediaQuest could not join the privatization bid due to ownership rules and regulations that MediaQuest owns TV5 and AksyonTV.
