History
The channel was originally launched as Viva Cinema on May 6, 1996, in partnership between Viva Entertainment in the Philippines and Star TV (later simply rebranded as Star in 2001) in Hong Kong.
On July 10, 2003, Star announced that the joint venture with Viva Entertainment would not be renewed, meaning Viva Cinema would be closed down on July 31, 2003. On August 1, 2003, Viva Cinema was rebranded as Pinoy Box Office.[1]
Since August 2021, after Viva TV renamed as Viva Cinema, PBO carries the films that Viva produced since 1996.
