History

Filipino TV launched in July 2004 under the name "ECG Filipino" and featured programming from now-defunct Pinoy Central TV. In late 2005 the channel was re-named "The Mabuhay Channel Canada" via an agreement with The Mabuhay Channel, a new Filipino Channel that had launched in the United States. The Mabuhay Channel was a partnership of five different Filipino broadcasters: ABC Channel 5, NBN Channel 4, IBC Channel 13, CCI Asia Group (ISLA & Juice) and VIVA Entertainment. It was created exclusively for Filipinos living abroad by Philippine Multimedia Systems Inc. (PMSI), the only DTH satellite broadcaster in the Philippines.

In August 2008 The Mabuhay Channel was dropped by Dish Network, the only provider who carried the channel in the US. As a result of this, the channel ceased broadcasting and on August 18. 2008 Ethnic Channels Group re-branded the channel yet again this time calling it FTV- Filipino TV.
