[edit] Origins
[edit] ZOE Broadcasting Network
The network was formed when the frequency rights of Channel 11 in Manila was given to a joint venture of the influential religious groups El Shaddai headed by Bro. Mike Velarde and Jesus Is Lord Movement headed by Bro. Eddie Villanueva in mid 1990s.
[edit] Citynet Television
GMA Network decided to expand its business into UHF programming in 1995 with Citynet Television 27. Poised to compete with ABS-CBN's recently launched Studio 23, the new station also aired popular American programming.. In 1999, Star TV leased the airtime of Citynet Television to launch Channel [V] Philippines. In 2001 however, Channel [V] Philippines was discontinued when the PLDT (owner of MTV Philippines) bought a controlling stake in GMA. Citynet reverted to being an independent station after the discontinuation.
[edit] Blocktime agreement
In the first quarter of 2005, Citynet leased the airtime of ZOE's flagship station, DZOE-TV 11, in exchange of an upgrading the facilities of ZOE and airing a ZOE-TV produced program on early Monday mornings. Channel 27 became a repeater of QTV.
On March 18, 2007, the network became only known as "Q".
