Department of Education Television (commonly known asDepEd TV and capitalized in its logo) is a Philippineeducational UHF televisionchannel of theDepartment of Education (DepEd) with the assistance of thePresidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO). It was launched on August 11, 2020, beginning its test broadcast. Following the postponement of the starting date of classes however, the block was suspended to October 5 of the same year.[1][2]
DepEd announced the initialization of educational classes through blended learning in the midst of theCOVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Among many options is to broadcast learning modules on television and radio. The department later tapped state media agency PCOO to assist in producing and airing lessons and modules.[3]
The service held its test broadcasts from August 11 until 21, 2020 viaIBC,Solar Learning and various local/regional stations, but was suspended on the following week after DepEd moved the opening date of its regular classes for the 2020–2021 school year to October 5, 2020.[4]
The service held its second and final test broadcasts from September 21 to 25, 2020.[5][6]
The service temporarily ceased operations on June 30, 2022 during the inauguration of PresidentBongbong Marcos and in preparation for the return of face-to-face classes. It was replaced with Pinoy Hits by January 2023.
On December 8, 2025, Solar Learning started simulcasting selectKnowledge Channel programs. This move stems from a three-party memorandum of agreement among Solar Entertainment Corporation (via its subsidiary Solar Pictures Inc.), theABS-CBN Corporation unit Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc., and theDepartment of Education, aiming to revive DepEd TV and help reduce learning loss while strengthening the resilience of education during disruptions.[7]
Aside from airing onIBC-13 andSolar Learning, DepEd TV also aired itseducational programs on other TV channels:[8]
