RPTV is a Philippine commercial free-to-air television network. It is jointly owned and operated by TV5 Network, Inc., and Nine Media Corporation, with Radio Philippines Network (RPN) serving as its free-to-air broadcaster. RPTV was established through a content distribution, sales, and marketing agreement between TV5 (under its parent company MediaQuest Holdings) and Nine Media. Under this arrangement, TV5 provides programming and related services to Nine Media through its existing airtime lease agreement with RPN.
RPTV officially launched on 1 February 2024, as the replacement for CNN Philippines. This followed the termination of the brand licensing agreement between Nine Media and CNN (under its parent company Warner Bros. Discovery), resulting in CNN Philippines' closure on 31 January 2024.
