A video-on-demand service for Jeepney TV programs is also available worldwide via iWant and TFC IPTV. [2]

History

Jeepney TV was launched on October 22, 2012, in preparation for the 60th anniversary of its parent network, ABS-CBN, the following year.

In 2015, the channel revamped its graphics and program lineup, and its programming schedule was overhauled. [3]

On March 11, 2018, Jeepney TV featured the Hero Zone (a former anime programming block of ABS-CBN in 2006) as a two-hour weekend morning anime block, beginning with Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V and KonoSuba . The block was later discontinued on July 22, 2018 order to focus more on local programming. [4]

From July 30, 2018 to May 5, 2020, Jeepney TV was available as a digital channel for ABS-CBN TV Plus. [5] On June 1, 2020, Jeepney TV returned broadcasting, replacing ABS-CBN on its channel space on ABS-CBN TV Plus. It later ceased broadcasting on June 30, 2020, due to the alias cease-and-desist order against ABS-CBN TV Plus. [6]

On August 1, 2020, Jeepney TV began livestreaming some of its contents on the online video-sharing platforms Facebook and YouTube as part of Kapamilya Online Live. [7] The channel also became available on G Sat Channel 55 on October 5, 2020; [8] SatLite Channel 37 on November 19, 2020; [9] Cignal Channel 44 on January 4, 2021; [10] and Cablelink Channel 9 on February 15, 2024.

On April 15, 2024, some Jeepney TV programs began broadcasting on free-to-air television through All TV as part of the Jeepney TV sa All TV programming block, following content agreements signed between ABS-CBN and AMBS. The official launch of this programming block commenced on May 13, 2024, along with the debut of a simulcast of the morning talk show Magandang Buhay , marking the program's return to ABS-CBN's former channel frequencies after four years.

On September 30, 2025, the channel migrated to the 16:9 anamorphic widescreen format. The change allowed for a widescreen presentation, optimizing the viewing experience for viewers with compatible widescreen televisions.
