  • December 9, 1994 – ABC TV stations acquired a new franchise to operate under Republic Act 7831 signed by President of the Philippines Fidel V. Ramos. In the same year, the station went on nationwide satellite broadcasting. In a phenomenal growth, ABC Davao earned its reputation as "The Fastest Growing Network" under new network executive Tina Monzon-Palma who served as Chief Operating Officer.
  • August 8, 2008 – The station aired a countdown to its re-launch for much of the next day until 19:00 PHT, when the network officially re-launched under its new name TV5.

  • September 8, 2016 – Aksyon Dabaw (after 2 years) and TV5 Cebu's Aksyon Bisaya were cancelled due to cost-cutting measures by the network to sustain its day-by-day operations.
