History[]

The channel was launched as Viva Cinema on February 1, 2009, the day Cignal Digital TV also began operation. The channel's programming line-up consisted of previous teleseries produced by Viva Television, Filipino films and Hollywood films, as well as televised interviews related to upcoming domestic and international films.[2][3][4][5]

On July 16, 2012, the channel was relaunched as Viva TV,[6] and began broadcasting music videos, talk shows, reality series, concerts and behind the scenes from films featuring some of Viva Entertainment artists, including Sarah Geronimo, Anne Curtis, KC Concepcion, among others.

After nine years and sixteen days, Viva TV ends its broadcast operations on July 31, 2021, and it has reverted to Viva Cinema effective on August 1, 2021, after the former transitioned to and merged with Viva Entertainment's television production arm unit while the latter returned its broadcast operations as the third incarnation channel featuring archived movies produced and distributed by Viva Films which were produced up to the year 1995, as well as concerts.
