History
Summarize
Perspective
DXET-TV started broadcasting in 1993 using a 5kW Larcan television transmitter (the first of its kind to be installed in Mindanao) with a JAMPRO antenna. Its facilities were described as a "mini-Nova", a miniature version of the parent station's headquarters in Novaliches.[citation needed] By 1994, it had gained positive feedback from local viewers, especially its local newscast. A survey conducted in early 1994 by the Communications Arts classes of Ateneo revealed that two of the network's foreign series, The Raven and Quantum Leap, had entered the top five favorite programs.[1] Plans to improve its transmission tower were underway in 2009, costing P19.5 million, obtained from GMA Network's Felipe Gozon.[2]
On February 26, 2011, it was announced that TV5's facilities in Davao would be upgraded, as part of a network-wide plan to replace its existing transmitter equipment outside of Manila with new ones, as well as obtain more licenses, in order to boost TV5's national reputation. DXET was set to be used as the main operation for Mindanao, whereas several news bureaus under the station's jurisdiction were being built across the region.[3] In early 2012, its share of ratings grew from 15% to 20%.[4] The station started airing Aksyon Dabaw in 2014,[5] but cut all of its local programs in September 2016 as part of cost-cutting measures also involving DYET-TV.[6]
In 2019, after the termination of full-fledged local news programs, its presenter Gem Avancena won a STAR Award.[7] In June and July 2023, installation of new transmitter towers in Mindanao was underway, in order to increase its coverage.[8]
