A23 is an upcoming Philippine free-to-air television network owned by Creative Programs Inc., a subsidiary of ABS-CBN Corporation. Similar to Studio 23, the network is named after its flagship station, DWAC-TV Channel 23. The network is a sister network of ABS-CBN. These station studios are located at 3/F ABS-CBN Broadcast Center, Sgt. Esguerra Ave., Mother Ignacia St., Diliman, Quezon City. It is set to be relaunched by May 14, 2022.
History[edit]
When A2Z was not returned to DWWX-TV but it was conducted to Test Broadcast via DZOE, they have no plans for their secondary network yet.
A2Z Channel 11 of ABS-CBN and ZOE Broadcasting Network, launched on October 10, 2020, remained operational, A2Z leave Channel 2 was conducted to Test Broadcast. ABS-CBN made their relay stations of the former S+A (except DWAC-TV Channel 23) as a repeater/relay of DZOE-TV Channel 11 (similar to GMA/Citynet's block time with ZOE TV before) until their plan for UHF Channel 23 has revealed or for the remaining analog days. Since most of A2Z's programming is moved to their original network, A2Z changed their programming with new programs/shows such as the morning simulcast of DZMM programs via TeleRadyo (until 9 AM), Kidz Weekend being moved to weekday and Saturday mornings as "Morning Kidz" and expanded, and filling up A2Z's vacant program slots with imported programming, among others.
On April 4, 2022, ABS-CBN has announced that A2Z will be relocated to UHF Channel 23 (DWAC-TV, replacing the channel space of former ABS-CBN S+A) and will be relaunched as A23 with most of the A2Z's programs (excluding ZOE TV's in-house programs) being carried over by A23, as ABS-CBN has decided to terminate their block time agreement with ZOE, ceasing the operations of A2Z Channel 11 after May 14, 2022. Before that, Channel 23 began test broadcasts (simulcasting A2Z-11 (DZOE-TV)).
On May 14, 2022, Channel 23 relaunched as A23 with its complete station ID as well as its slogan "Ang Saya Pag Kasama Ka!".
On October 12, 2022, A23 celebrates its 25th Anniversary for complete station ID such as the 10th Anniversary station ID on Studio 23 was dropped as well as A23 Barkada.
