History[]

The Channel 11 frequency in Metro Manila was originally granted to a joint venture between the leaders of two major Filipino religious movements, Mike Velarde (of the El Shaddai movement) and Eddie Villanueva (of Jesus Is Lord Church), however disputes between the two leaders would result in Villanueva being awarded full ownership of the station from the Philippine Congress. In 1999, Enternet leased airtime on DZOE, simulcasting CNBC Asia during the daytime hours. Contract disputes would lead to the agreement ending in 2000.

In November 2005, GMA Network established an agreement with ZOE Broadcasting, where in exchange for providing updated equipment to their facilities, GMA would be able to operate and program DZOE-TV. Upon the takeover by GMA, DZOE-TV became a translator of DWDB-TV, which began airing GMA's new network QTV (later renamed Q).

The simulcast would last until 2007, when DWDB-TV signed off in order to allow channel 27 to be used for future digital television trial broadcasts of DZBB-TV. As a result, Q programming would remain on DZOE-TV until February 21, 2011, when the Q network signed off, and replaced by GMA News TV on February 28.
