Talk:TV5 (Philippine TV network)

Please be careful in naming articles for this TV network, as ABC can mean "American Broadcasting Company", "Australian Broadcasting Corporation" and many more.

Also, don't use "ABC" per se, because in this case, "ABC" has a meaning, that is "Associated Broadcasting Company". You can use acnomyns as article names if the acronyms don't mean a thing, such as CBS and KFC (they've both dropped the meaning of their acronyms and go by with their TLAs. Thanks. --Howard the Duck 13:14, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I think you should name it to One TV (Philippine TV network), not Philippine TV Channel. Its so catchy and weird. So please I want to chane the naming of the article if 5 rebrands to One Tv. StevenNBA89 (talk) 02:52, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Lets discuss it here. --Howard the Duck 06:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I propose to move the articles below:

• Programs broadcast by ABC to List of programs broadcast by the Associated Broadcasting Company
• ABC 5 Sports to ABC Sports (Philippines)
• ABC TV and Radio Stations to List of Associated Broadcasting Company TV and radio stations

The "ABC" ancronym can be confused with other companies, especially the American Broadcasting Company in the United States. You may also check the articles, I think most of them were only copy-pasted from the website of ABC. - Danngarcia 14:41, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Lets keep the programming times for primetime - from 6:45 to sign-off only. --Howard the Duck 10:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

The current program schedule has been vandalized. Can anyone fix this? TJ Reyes 06:52, 1 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by TJ Reyes (talk • contribs)

I have locked this article from editing by anonymous users due to vandalization. User:Danngarcia have done a great job reverting some of them. TJ Reyes 06:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Now that the network has been renamed, shouldn't this article be moved to TV5 (Philippines) (which currently exists as a redirect) or something similar? I know it says "the corporate name is still Associated Broadcasting Company", but since the article is essentially about the channel itself, I think the title should reflect the channel's on-air name rather than the corporate name. (Besides, isn't "ABC Development Corporation" the actual legal name?) - Hinto (talk) 04:03, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

:More like TV5 Manila (or wherever the city of license is, probably Quezon City). –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 18:00, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

::I am in favor of renaming this article because it causes confusion to all the readers, even to me. 121.1.55.87 (talk) 23:13, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

:: I actually agree with this. "Associated Broadcasting Company" should become a page on the company itself, if possible. ViperSnake151  Talk  02:23, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

:::Full support as this article is obviously mostly about the channel. --User ⁵⁰ 15:01, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

How could Smart Communications be a subsidiary of Associated Broadcasting Company when in fact smart communications is a much larger entity that is owned by PLDT.

:They are all the same. Kiddie Techie ^Talk 00:12, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Well it's not. You should be aware that a subsidiary is a smaller entity that is controlled by a higher entity. In this case, Associated Broadcasting Company is obviously the smaller one in terms of asset, net income, and revenue. hollyckuhno (talk) 17:49, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

This page has a lot of vandalism lately especially from this user who insists that TV5 has an AM station. Please lock it INDEFINITELY. Ppby (talk) 11:27, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

This article is very confusing. The article obviously refer to the television network itself but most of the content are all about the media company. We must understand that Associated Broadcasting Company is the legal name of the company while TV5 is the brand name of its flagship television network. Should we just make this article about the ABC (the company) not TV5 (the network). In that way, all of the relevant informations for the company (and so is the television and radio network, its subsidiaries and divisions) will be tackled. -hollyckuhno (talk) 21:11, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

This article should be seperate into two pages: ABC Development Corporation and this article. Aztegdude (talk) 14:30, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

::So are you implying that we should do a separate article for TV5(the network) and Associated Broadcasting Company(the company)? Tell me more about ABC Development Corporation. - hollyckuhno (talk) 23:50, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

The PLDT Group has other media holdings other than ABC (TV5). I suggest we modify the template to Mediaquest, Inc. to better reflect the extent of PLDT's media holdings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ppby (talk • contribs) 13:24, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

It has insufficient standalone notability and should be merged. See also User talk:SeanJ 2007#TV5 HD regarding on this discussion. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 02:05, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

• {{done}} - really a no-brainer, nothing to really discuss, the other article contained virtually nothing not in this article except for two sources.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:37, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
