UNTV is known for its broadcast of Ang Dating Daan (The Old Path), the longest-running religious program in the Philippines, hosted by radio and televangelist Bro.

UNTV Manila and Cebu were part of a blocktime programming agreement between Progressive Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) majority owned by Alfredo "Atom" Henares and Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International Inc. led by Daniel Razon.

UNTV is referred to as "The Kasangbahay Network",[2][3] a Filipino word which means "household", a group of people, often a family, who live together.

In July 2001, the Progressive Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) owned by businessman Alfredo "Atom" Henares ventured into UHF television through UNTV 37, which initially branded as NUTV Channel 37.

[4] In its early years on television, UNTV gained a cult following through comedy and reality show Strangebrew.

[7] Since then, UNTV started airing and eventually became the permanent home of the religious program Ang Dating Daan (The Old Path) after leaving GemCom Holdings-owned UHF TV network SBN 21 (later sold to Solar Entertainment Corporation in 2010 for Php 368.8 million).

"[5] UNTV started from scratch with a one-room broadcast studio located at the AIC Gold Tower in Ortigas Center, Pasig.

[9] In November 2005, the station became a household name after one of its cameraman captured an exclusive four-minute raw footage of a shooting incident in front of its studio in Ortigas which was aired in TV Patrol World, the top-rated primetime newscast of ABS-CBN.

In 2013, UNTV ceased using its old analog transmitter tower in Crestview Heights Subdivision, San Roque, Antipolo, Rizal (which is now acquired by Radio Philippines Network and Nine Media Corporation for digital TV broadcasts purposes), and began using its newly constructed tower located near Emerald Hills on Sumulong Highway, Antipolo, Rizal for a clearer and better signal reception and used to broadcast UNTV both in both analog and digital and radio station Wish 107.5.

From June 25 to 26, 2014, the network marked its tenth anniversary in the broadcast industry with a two-day UNTV Elderpowerment Expo and UNTV Rescue Summit held at the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC) and World Trade Center (WTC) both in Pasay; as well as the soft-relaunching of DWNU under management of UNTV-BMPI.

On August 10, 2014, UNTV-BMPI formally relaunched DWNU 107.5 as 107.5 Wish FM with a free concert featuring OPM singers at the WTC and UNTV's newest station jingle entitled "Maaasahan Mo" sung by Shane Velasco and Beverly Caimen.

However, selected programs like Ang Dating Daan and Itanong Mo kay Soriano still use a 4:3 aspect ratio, but stretched in an anamorphic 16:9 widescreen format.

As it needs more space, while waiting for the completion of the UNTV Broadcast Center, the station transferred its studios and production facilities to the La Verdad Christian College Building in Caloocan.

As the world faces the global challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, from March 16 to July 31, 2020, UNTV launched new slogans, "We serve the people, we give glory to God" for English-language newscasts, and the slogan "Diyos ang aming sandigan, serbisyo publiko ang aming pinahahalagahan" (English: God is our support, public service is what we value) for Tagalog newscasts.

During the Luzon-wide ECQ, UNTV pioneered purely remote, live online shows on Philippine television.

[15] On April 8, 2020, UNTV aired the remote broadcast of Serbisyong Bayanihan hosted by UNTV-BMPI President and CEO Kuya Daniel Razon, live from a makeshift studio at his residence.

The public service program caters to help those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and educates the audience with updates about health protocols and announcements from authorities, including reports from UNTV's international correspondents.

On October 8, 2020, UNTV and Members Church of God International inaugurated a free service, quarantine facility in the City of Malolos, province of Bulacan for probable and mild cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The health facility has 32 individual isolation rooms manned by full-time doctors, nurses, and non-medical personnel to assist the patients.

Healing Galing shares information and offers advice during its on-air show about naturopathy employing a wide array of herbal supplements with emphasis on diet and lifestyle changes.

[19] The move came after its former home TV5 Network, owned by PLDT's MediaQuest Holdings, abruptly cancelled airing Healing Galing show, including its simulcast over its radio arm Radyo5 92.3 News FM (now 105.9 True FM) due to a programming revamp of TV5 and Radyo5 under the leadership of TV5/Cignal President and CEO Robert Galang.

[21] During its ninth anniversary celebration in 2013, Daniel Razon announced the network's ongoing transition from analog to digital broadcast.

UNTV multi-channel line-up also includes one high definition (HD) channel called “ADDTV” or Ang Dating Daan TV showing purely religious programs.

In July 2010, Daniel Razon launched an advocacy "Tulong Muna Bago Balita" (English: Lifelines Before Headlines; lit: Rescue First, Report Later).

UNTV correspondents are not pressured to break or report news exclusives but encourages media practitioners to prioritize saving lives as part of their profession.
