On April 6, 2022, Ayala Corporation-owned Globe Telecom ventured into media and entertainment industry by launching a multi-platform innovative tradigital entertainment company, Kroma Entertainment (formerly Sphere Entertainment) through 917Ventures Retirement Fund, which primarily owns Anima and Upstream PH.[3][4] On the same day, Kroma Entertainment announced its co-ownership with ABS-CBN for its new offering Pinoy Interactive Entertainment or PIE, with ABS-CBN served as its main content productions provider while Kroma Entertainment as its technological innovative interaction format backed by 917Ventures, and can be accessible to reach 11 million households in partnership with Broadcast Enterprises and Affiliated Media for digital terrestrial broadcast and 85 million digitally-connected online users.[5][6]

It started its test broadcast on April 25, 2022, showcasing unprompted daily questions each day until May 15, followed by a seven-day "Countdown to TagumPIE" special on May 16–22, and made its official launch on May 23, 2022.[7][8][9] Following the implementation of changes in PIE Channel's programming on September 12, 2022, the channel has been made available to international viewers through its YouTube channel.

On November 24, 2023, Kroma Entertainment announced that the channel will transition as fully online platform starting January 1, 2024.
