Bloomberg TV Philippines or BloombergTVPh is a defunct business news channel in the Philippines which was part of Cignal's channel lineup.[1] United States-based Bloomberg Television made a partnership with TV5 Network Inc. and Cignal, both under MediaQuest Holdings, (PLDT's media arm) on March 25, 2015 to launch a local franchise of the international news channel.[2]

Bloomberg TV Philippines, is the first business news channel to air on a 24/7 basis in the country. Bloomberg was the second global network to set a localized channel in the country. Turner Broadcasting System has already established a brand-licensing agreement with Nine Media Corporation, launching CNN Philippines on March 16, 2015 on Radio Philippines Network.[2]

The Philippine channel of Bloomberg is broadcast in English and tapping the talent and production resource of TV5's news division, News5. On October 1, 2015, Bloomberg TV Philippines began the initial test broadcasts, and it was launched in full broadcast on October 5, 2015, exclusively aired on Cignal channel 8 on SD and channel 127 on HD.

Since December 19, 2016, Bloomberg TV Philippines on Cignal remains on channel 8 (SD), but its HD feed switched channel assignments from channel 127 to channel 250.

Bloomberg TV Philippines was shut down on May 27, 2018 due to higher license fees and was replaced with a local news channel named One News. The new channel, which is a partnership between Mediaquest Holdings' media properties News5, The Philippine Star, BusinessWorld, and content provider Probe Productions, still airs Bloomberg-produced programs.[3]
