History

In 2015, the channel revamped its graphics and program line-up, and the programming schedule was overhauled yet again.[3]

In March 2018, Jeepney TV featured the Hero Zone (a former anime block of ABS-CBN's main channel in 2006) as a two-hour weekend morning anime block, beginning with Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V and KonoSuba.[4]

In July 2018, Jeepney TV became available on ABS-CBN TVplus for a free trial basis until its franchise expiration on May 5, 2020.[5]

On June 1, 2020, Jeepney TV temporarily took over ABS-CBN's channel space for ABS-CBN TVplus users due to its franchise being expired, along with Asianovela Channel, which also took over S+A's channel space.

On June 30, 2020, Jeepney TV suspended broadcasting on both ABS-CBN TV Plus and Sky Direct due to the alias cease and desist order by the National Telecommunications Commission in connection with the expiration of ABS-CBN franchise. However, Jeepney TV continues to broadcast on Sky Cable and other cable television providers.[6]

On August 1, 2020, it officially livestreams some of its contents along with Kapamilya Channel on the online video-sharing platforms Facebook and YouTube as part of Kapamilya Online Live.[7]

The channel was made available on G Sat Channel 55 on October 5, 2020,[8] SatLite Channel 37 on November 19, 2020[9] and Cignal Channel 44 on January 4, 2021, replacing the channel space of Fox Filipino.[10]
