Named after TV5's newscast, Aksyon, it started broadcasting on February 21, 2011, as an all-news channel, with simulcasts from Radyo5 and independently produced newscasts from News5. It has also carried-over sports coverages due to shutdown of sports primetime block AKTV on May 31, 2013, due to high airtime costs and low ratings caused by IBC's impending privatization. Its main broadcast facilities are located at TV5 Media Center, Reliance cor. Sheridan Sts., Mandaluyong. It was the first and only 24-hour news channel on free-to-air TV and the first 24-hour Tagalog language news channel until December 1, 2013. It formerly operates daily from 5:00 AM to 12:00 MN.
