In 2015, Sari-Sari Channel was delegated as the official production outfit to handle all entertainment programs of TV5 after Viva Communications chief Vicente "Vic" del Rosario, Jr. was appointed as the network's entertainment head, replacing Wilma Galvante, following the retrenchment on TV5's main entertainment department.[1][2]
Starting October 21, 2017, selected original serials from the channel is broadcast on TV5 under the Sari-Sari Weekend on TV5 block. It is also carried over to its overseas counterpart Kapatid Channel since 2018.
Since 2020, after Cignal TV took over the TV5 Network's management and operations, most episodes of Cignal-TV5-Viva produced shows are currently aired on this channel the next day after being shown on TV5.
