One Sports+ is a sports-centric pay television channel based in Mandaluyong City. It was owned and operated by MediaQuest Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund through Cignal TV.

The original One Sports channel was launched on January 9, 2019 on satellite provider Cignal, replacing Hyper. One Sports is the second Cignal channel launched under the One branding, along with the English-language news channel One News and Filipino-language news/talk channel One PH.[1] On March 8, 2020, coinciding with the relaunch of free-to-air channel 5 Plus to adopt the One Sports brand, this channel was renamed as One Sports+ to avert confusion.

As One Sports+ (2020–present)

On March 8, 2020, One Sports merged its programming with its free-to-air counterpart 5 Plus, effectively retaining the One Sports brand as a free-to-air network along with the rebranding of TV5's sports division from ESPN 5.

At the same time, the original One Sports channel exclusively on Cignal was relaunched as One Sports+.

AKTV

Main article: AKTV

AKTV, TV5's former primetime sports and active lifestyle programming arm, AKTV has a block time contract with IBC that gives it the primetime slot from 5-11 pm on weekdays and 11:00 am to 11:00 pm on weekends in the government sequestered network, it was announced that MediaQuest Holdings/TV5 chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan due to expiration contract between AKTV and IBC expires in May 2013.

The development is not expected to affect the Commissioner’s Cup coverage since the tournament would be over by the time the AKTV-IBC deal expires, but the board will have to sit down again soon to discuss on which free television channel the PBA games will be aired next.

With IBC-13 being eyed for privatization by the government, the station can no longer agree to any long-term contract with blocktimers due to high costs and poor ratings, while TV5 is currently loaded with programing during its primetime slot, including an hour-long newscast.
