History

Prior to its current network, it was founded in 1983 as GV Broadcasting System by the Galang family. GV then operated its radio stations in Pampanga and later expanded in Batangas. GV's broadcast franchise was granted in 1995, and was later amended in 1998 allowing the inclusion of establishing its pay TV business.
In 2007, MediaQuest Holdings acquired a majority stake in GV and its parent Satventures, with the Galangs being part of MediaQuest. The Galangs later spun off its own radio assets into a new entity called Metro City Media Services.
In 2014, MCMS merged with the pay TV business of Apollo Global Corporation to form Apollo Broadcast Investors. With this, the radio assets became GV Radios Network Corporation while keeping its only pay TV channel Pinoy Xtreme.

Pinoy Xtreme

Pinoy Xtreme is a 24-hour sports and entertainment cable channel. It is available via Channel 106 on Cignal, Channel 88 on G Sat, Channel 217 on SkyCable in Metro Manila, Channel 59 on Cablelink in Metro Manila and in various pay TV providers in key provinces.
Pinoy Xtreme's current programming consists of a variety of sports and acquired programming from Leader News Philippines, as well as other entertainment and educational programming. In some cases, the channel is timeshared with the live racetrack broadcasts of MJCI, MetroTurf and PRCI, thus pre-empting its programming during live racing coverages at the discretion of a local pay TV provider.
