DWNB-TV, channel 41, is a television station owned by Nation Broadcasting Corporation and is the flagship station of the Philippine all-news and sports television AksyonTV. The station is operated and co-owned by TV5 Network Inc. Its main broadcast facilities are located at the TV5 Media Center, Reliance cor. Sheridan sts., Mandaluyong City, while the station's alternate studios are located at TV5 Complex, 762 Quirino Highway, Brgy. San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City and the transmitter is located at Emerald Hills beside Garden of Gethsemane II, Sumulong Highway, Antipolo City, Rizal.
Previously, DZRU (now DWNB) UHF channel 41 was being planned for use by NBC for its own acquired programming under the multimedia convergence program of the station's current owners. But sometime in 2000, MTV Asia wanted to go 24 hours on terrestrial television which it didn't get when they were still buying airtime through Studio 23 (now known as S+A).
NBC broadcast executives, led by the radio station manager Francis Lumen, signed in MTV Networks for the right to use NBC's UHF Channel 41 for the latter's new extension, to be christened MTV Philippines. The move was in line with NBC's trends toward converging traditional broadcasts with the giant telecommunications backbone of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT), which had acquired NBC from the Yabuts in 1998 to achieve that purpose.
UHF Channel 41 has its own studio complex at The Fort Global City in Taguig where its shows were broadcast to Metro Manila and nearby areas.
