D8TV is aPhilippinefree-to-airdigital television channel 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 theNCRPO.[1][2]
D8TV began its broadcast on soft launch on November 4, 2024, thru channel timesharing withPilipinas HD. The channel initially aired some programs from third-party productions and content creators, including Boss Toyo'sGeng Geng Network and Island Living Channel.[3][4] The channel also con-jointly partnered withIBC to become new television distributors of lottery draws from thePhilippine 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 withPilipinas HD after the latter ceased broadcast due to the sudden passing ofChino Trinidad, thus extending the channel's airing time.
In August 2025, D8TV quietly rebranded as a government-focused channel, primarily broadcasting programs from thePresidential Communications Office (Radio Television Malacañang), theSenate of the Philippines, and theHouse of Representatives of the Philippines, while remaining privately owned.
On February 2, 2026, D8TV reverted to an informative channel and launched its refreshed logo, thus axing most of its government-focused programs.
D8TV is seen via BEAM TV's digital terrestrial UHF channel 31 in Mega Manila, Cebu, Zamboanga and Davao, UHF channel 26 in Baguio and Iloilo, UHF channel 36 in Batangas, UHF channel 32 in Naga, UHF channel 33 in Legazpi, UHF channel 43 in Cagayan de Oro and UHF channel 51 in General Santos.
