In 2019, GMA Network Inc. announced its plans to invest for its second phase transition to digital television, including a partnership with U.S.-based global entertainment company Jungo TV and Philippine telecommunications conglomerate PLDT-Smart to distribute content across all of its channels.[2][3] As part of their ongoing transition and the launch of their own digital television box, the network launched its first subchannel aside from their two main channels via Heart of Asia in the lineup of DZBB-DTV Channel 15.[4]

Launch

On the morning of September 6, 2020, GMA Network made some adjustments on its digital television channels by adding new sub-channels on their digital frequency. The said programs were detected as early as 2:00am of September 6, 2020 at their digital frequency in Batangas, and 6:00am in Mega Manila.

Hallypop started its test broadcast on September 6, 2020, airing music programs such as Music Bank, StarGazeMuzik and HallyStage, while it airs promo plug of the upcoming programs with its assigned blocks.
