AksyonTV will be replaced by a 5 Plus, a new action channel that targets the young audiences, it will carry mainstream and non mainstream sports show and coverage, e-sports or gaming, action and adventure content, X-games, fight sports, WWE, ESPN sports and many more.
5 Plus is set to launch this January 13, 2019 and this will set it as TV5’s secondary channel.
“We are excited to start the new year with the launch of 5 Plus. The intent was to create a home for what we call atypical sports – titles with a highly engaged audience base that don’t typically receive visibility of this scale. Expanding our sports coverage also enables us to attract a new audience: the younger sports fan. 5 Plus aims to serve content that resonates with the pace of their active lifestyle, and is in line with their varied interests. The combination of both 5 and 5 Plus allows us to cement and expand further our foothold in sports.”
- Vincent P. Reyes, President and CEO of TV5
