D8TV
Philippine free-to-air television channel
D8TV is a Philippine free-to-air digital television network that broadcasts a variety of lifestyle and infotainment programming. It is owned by Digital 8, a media company primarily owned by Rommel Miranda, a former spokesperson of the NCRPO.
01History
D8TV began its broadcast on soft launch on November 4, 2024, thru channel timesharing with Pilipinas HD. The channel initially aired some programs from third-party productions and content creators, including Boss Toyo's Geng Geng Network and Island Living Channel. The channel also con-jointly partnered with IBC to become new television distributors of lottery draws from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, which began on December 31, 2024, effectively ending a three-decade run on PTV.
On January 20, 2025, the channel stopped its timesharing with Pilipinas HD after the latter ceased broadcast due to the sudden passing of Chino Trinidad, thus extending the channel's airing time.
In August 2025, D8TV quietly rebranded as a government-focused channel, primarily broadcasting programs from the Presidential Communications Office (Radio Television Malacañang), the Senate of the Philippines, and the House of Representatives of the Philippines, while remaining privately owned.
On February 2, 2026, D8TV reverted to an informative channel and launched its refreshed logo. However, it retained its existing government-focused programs.
