RBS4

RBS4 is a Filipino free-to-air public broadcast television channel owned and operated under the 50/50 joint venture of SRBS Corporation and the Government of the Philippines through the Presidential Communications Office (PCO). It broadcasts two different genres, with the PCO covering the 6:00am-7:00pm timeslot that is dedicated to a wide variety of programmes including arts, documentaries, music, international film and drama, and current affairs, and SRBS having the 7:00pm-5:00am timeslot dedicated to anime and gaming. It is a joint effort between the Corporation and the Government, with the remit of "broadcasting ambitious range of innovative, high quality programming that is intellectually and culturally enriching".

It was launched in January 16, 2023, after a deal between SRBS Corporation and the Presidential Communications Office was ratified to provide factual and cultural programming to the general public, through commercial means.

History
RBS4 was a result of the merger of the arts and culture programming from PTV-4, the state broadcaster of the Philippine Government, and a planned digital channel of SRBS Corporation that would accommodate the anime and gaming culture that the Philippines has. With the approval from the Office of the Press Secretary at that time, PTV-4 and SRBS' digital channel would be launched under the name of RBS-PTV, but it would soon be merged into simply RBS4. It was launched on January 16, 2023 at 7:00pm PHT, being different from the originally-planned January 10 schedule in order for PTV-4 to compile its programming for the new digital channel.
