Social TV (STV) was a 24-hour mainstream digital television channel in the Philippines. It features social media contents and creations such as Do It Yourself (DIY) videos, short films, educational vlogs, documentaries, animation, tutorial, hobbies, music, entertainment and technology trends. It allows its viewers to interact with the TV network and let amateur content producers to share their own content not only on social media but also on free-to-air television.

It was a subchannel of UNTV News and Rescue, the network's carrier on free-to-air digital terrestrial television (DTT). It broadcasts 24 hours a day on Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Channel 38 (617.143 MHz) in Metro Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Pampanga, Laguna, Cavite and some parts of Tarlac. Its studios in the Philippines are located at the La Verdad Christian College Building, Bagong Barrio, EDSA, Caloocan. Its digital transmitter is located at Emerald Hills, Sumulong Highway in Antipolo, Rizal.[1]

STV was known for its broadcast of behind-the-scenes of UNTV's morning show "Good Morning Kuya" led by broadcast journalist and UNTV-BMPI CEO Daniel Razon. STV claims to be the first and only social mainstream media channel in the Philippines.

## Digitalization

UNTV began its digital terrestrial television test broadcast in the last quarter of 2014. UNTV operator BMPI started testing Japan's Integrated Service Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T), the sole digital television (DTV) standard in the Philippines for its transition from analog to digital broadcast,[2] on UHF Channel 38 as its frequency.

The network initially activated four subchannels on digital television. UNTV-1, UNTV-2 and UNTV 1-SEG air the same program while ADDTV showcased MCGI praise music videos primarily from A Song of Praise (ASOP) Music Festival. In September 2017, UNTV-BMPI CEO Daniel Razon held an exclusive ceremonial switch-on of Truth Channel during international thanksgiving gathering of the MCGI in Apalit, Pampanga, replacing ADDTV.

On January 15, 2018, BMPI replaced UNTV-2 with its own original programming and subsequently upgraded its broadcast quality to high definition format. However, in 2020, this channel was repurposed to broadcast UNTV's main feed in 1080p resolution. During weekdays, from 11 am to 12:30 pm, it aired a simulcast of Radyo La Verdad's program "Ito Ang Iyong Lingkod: Don Manolo", breaking away from the main feed. This continued until the program's host, Don Manolo Favis, died on December 1, 2023.[3]
