Analog-to-digital conversion
editFrom September 7, 2017, in time for its 8th year since INC's Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo entered office, INCTV was granted a "special authority" from the National Telecommunications Commission to move its analog feed from UHF Channel 49 to UHF Channel 48 to allow the former channel to simulcast digitally in full-time, which began two days earlier (September 5). The shift was arranged for the station until the management announced its intentions to permanently shut down analog broadcasts and go digital-only.
As of October 1, 2018, Net 25 closed its analog TV signal, until April 7, 2022, when it resumed on-air until the formal analog shut off phase by the end of 2023.
