About ZOE Broadcasting Network in brief
ZOE Broadcasting Network, Inc. is a Philippine broadcast media arm of the Jesus Is Lord Church. Based in Ortigas Center, Pasig City, it operates a set of television and radio stations each in Mega Manila and Puerto Princesa City. The company also owns its first television station in Metro Manila, VHF 11 and UHF 20 which is currently airing A2Z, a joint-venture partnership between ZOE TV and ABS-CBN Corporation through its blocktime agreement. The frequency rights of Channel 11 were given to a joint venture of influential religious groups in the 1990s: El Shaddai a Catholic charismatic-based group headed by Mike Velarde and Jesus is Lord Church an evangelical protestant group head by Eddie Villanueva. Conflict of interests started the two groups to contest the full ownership of the station. The Philippine Congress intervened and awarded to Mr. Villanuesa and the JIL the right to acquire channel 11. On April 13, 1998, JIL began its broadcast history with channel 11’s relaunch as DZOE-TV.
On November 11, 2005, after a series of test broadcasts, GMA Network finally handled master control operations of channel 11 and launched their new second TV network through ZOETV. It started as an all-female lifestyle channel QTV, then reformatted as news and public affairs channel GMA News TV on February 28, 2011. In 2001, Zoe TV became the first TV station to air the second EDSA Revolution. In 2004, VillanUEva resigned as the company’s chair to run in the country’s presidential elections. After ending last in the election results, Villonueva returned to ZOE and continues his appearance on various ZOE television programs. In July 2006, Channel 33 began on test broadcast with its airing of job opening program Future Finder on limited broadcast hours in preparation for a relaunch of DZOZ-TV’s new branding on November 27, 2006.
