TV host-comedian Willie Revillame announced on his online show, Wowowin, on September 1 that he’s been in discussion with former Senator Manny Villar for the target soft launch on Tuesday, September 13 of AMBS’ flagship channel to be called ‘AllTV’ with the slogan ‘Saya All’.
How to watch ‘All TV’?
The new TV network, which has broadcast facilities and studios located at Starmalls in EDSA, Mandaluyong, will operate via analog Channel 2 and on Channel 16 on digital frequency.
For free TV, you can tune in to the widely popular Channel 2, which was previously assigned to ABS-CBN.
Revillame said ‘AllTV’ will be available as well on Sky Cable and Cignal via Channel 35.
It will be seen also on digital boxes (digibox) like Affordabox, TV Plus or Sulit TV on Channel 16. Since the channel may change according to your location, it’s best to rescan your digibox and search for either AMBS or AllTV.
On September 13, AllTV announced its blocktime partnership agreement and timeshare simulcast with Broadcast Enterprises and Affiliated Media (BEAM). AllTV was added to BEAM's subchannel lineup on digital Channel 31.

History of AMBS
All TV operates under AMBS, which is owned by Prime Asset Ventures founder Manuel Paolo Villar. The station is still on test broadcast but will be airing under the former frequencies of ABS-CBN.
AMBS was previously owned by the Vera family before it was sold to Villar's Planet Cable by AMBS president Andrew Santiago. In 2019, it was granted a 25-year franchise extension under Republic Act 11253.
In May 2020, the ABS-CBN network was forced to shut down after failing to secure a new franchise. After two years, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) awarded AMBS the rights to use ABS-CBN’s former frequencies, channel 2 and channel 16.
