DWTE-TV, Channel 2, is a commercial television station owned and operated by TV5 Network Inc. Its studio and transmitter are located at Talingaan St., Brgy. 31, Laoag City.
History
- 1972 - DWTE-TV channel 2 was launched by Kanlaon Broadcasting System during the Martial Law period, and in 1975, KBS was formally re-launched as RPN, the acronym for its franchise name, Radio Philippines Network.
- January 25, 1997 - Associated Broadcasting Company opened its TV station ABC Channel 2 Laoag as a relay (satellite-selling) station of ABC-5 Manila, inaugurating its studio and transmitter complex in Talingaan Street, Barangay 31, Laoag City.
- August 8, 2008 - The station aired a countdown to its re-launch for much of the next day until 19:00 PHT, when the network officially re-launched under its new name of TV5.
- February 17, 2018 - As the recent changes within the network and in celebration of its 10th anniversary, TV5 Laoag was relaunched as The 5 Network with a new logo and station ID entitled Get It on 5 whereas the TV on the northeastern quadrant of the logo has been dropped, making it more flexible for the other divisions to use it as part of their own identity.
- January 13, 2019 - 5 Laoag introduced a variation of the current numerical 5 logo, similar to the newly network, 5 Plus.
- August 15, 2020 - 5 Laoag was reverted to TV5 while retaining the 2019 numerical 5 logo.
