Background

On January 5, 2022, the National Telecommunications Commission awarded Channel 23 to Aliw Broadcasting Corporation under a provisional authority license. The channel was formerly used by Studio 23 and S+A of ABS-CBN Corporation. This marks Aliw's venture into television.^[3]

Logo used from August 2022 to January 2023.

On May 6, 2022, the channel launched its test broadcast with a live video feed of DWIZ 882.^[4] On August 10, 2022, the channel started carrying the brand IZTV, with the tagline The News Company. It was officially launched on November 18.^[5]

On January 30, 2023, the channel rebranded as ALIW Channel 23, coinciding with the reformatting of Home Radio's provincial stations under the DWIZ network and the revamp of DWIZ's programming. It was officially launched on June 23, 2023 through a launch event held at The Podium in Mandaluyong, with the tagline Kumpleto Na Ang Channel Mo (Your channels are now complete) which was attended by Aliw officials, personalities and employees and distinguished personalities from politics, business, showbiz and sports.^[6]
