Known as “The Kasangbahay Network,” UNTV has a fascinating story. UNTV translates to “household,” symbolizing its connection to the Filipino people. Right here at UNTV, you’re standing before a network that has transformed dramatically over the years. Established in 2001 by Alfredo “Atom” Henares as NUTV, it originally focused on rock music, mirroring its sister station, NU 107. Imagine the shift: from rock anthems to public service. UNTV, in partnership with Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International (BMPI), led by Daniel Razon, has embraced its role as a public service channel. UNTV’s news team isn’t just about headlines. They are trained rescuers, embodying the motto “Tulong Muna Bago Balita” – Rescue First, Report Later. This commitment to public service is reflected in programs like “Serbisyong Bayanihan” and “911-UNTV”. UNTV has also been a pioneer in using drones for news coverage. This innovative approach started in 2013, setting a precedent for other Philippine news outlets. UNTV broadcasts nationwide and even internationally via satellite. It has also embraced digital terrestrial television, offering multiple channels, including high-definition broadcasts. From its humble beginnings as a rock music channel to its current role as a vital public service network, UNTV’s transformation is a testament to its adaptability and dedication to the Filipino community.
