TV5 was a free-to-air Malaysian digital television station owned and operated by the Radio Television Malaysia of the Malaysian federal government.

TV5 was launched on 1 April 2017 following the rebranding of TVi in the aim of digitalisation of all Malaysian television stations by 2018. The channel's focus will continue to broadcast topics relating to East Malaysia, although the Astro channel number changed from 180 to 109. Astro channel 109 was previously used by Astro @15, which ceased broadcasting on 1 May 2012. Within few days of rebranding, on 6 April 2017, the online website suddenly stopped working and even have its Facebook page removed. The TV channel however, continues broadcasting albeit mostly without any branding and digital on screen graphics. On 8 April 2017, they are using digital on-screen graphics from an already discontinued channel "TVi", except for commercial bumpers. No official explanation is given.
