In mid-2005, the cable station was relaunched as GEM TV (Global Expansion Media Television), with a mix of religious and secular programs — which includes selected shows from Deutsche Welle and operated with a power of a meager 1 kilowatt.

From September 1 until 7, 2009, GEM TV, along with EBC-owned Net 25, were the only stations airing the live coverage of the wake and funeral of Iglesia ni Cristo's executive minister Eraño Manalo.

[2][3] On October 9, 2012, channel 49 once again conducted test broadcasts as part of CEBSI's purchase of the station's new transmitter equipment, increasing its transmission output to 30 kilowatts.

On October 31, 2012, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Iglesia ni Cristo's Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo, who took over upon his father's death three years ago, GEM TV ceased broadcast and merged itself with the existing INC TV channel on cable, making the religious channel available on free television.

INCTV has been reaching television audiences on the United States, Canada, numerous Asian and European countries, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the Middle East and North Africa.
