History

Cebu Catholic Television Network Channel 47 founded by its president, Nonito “Dodong” Limchua. After his stint in the cable business, he started family relationship programs that promote Gospel values, and bring the message and teachings of the Catholic Church to the people. Since he and wife Diana are devout Catholics, they have been involved in Walking with Jesus Seminars. Together, they shared their vision with the Archbishop of Cebu, Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, and he supported them in their desire for others to see the face of Christ through professional coverage of events, documentaries and issues concerning the Catholic Church.
Just on its first three years since it was launched in 2002, CCTN gained popularity along Central Visayas and reached out its viewers to Eastern Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula and Northern Mindanao.
Since it was launched, CCTN exists with various names. Started as CCTN on 2002, the station was rebranded as INTV in 2008 with the slogan Inform, Inspire, Interact. Following the rebranding was the station's website at intv.com.ph. Then in 2012, the network tries to bring back the CCTN name and rebranded as INTV powered by CCTN. In 2013, the network then removed the INTV name and rebranded as, CCTN 47. Their website was then moved to cctn47.com as their old website with the INTV brand was dropped.
Today, CCTN reaches its broadcast signals to Metro Manila, Cavite, Sarangani, Agusan del Norte, Misamis Occidental and Zamboanga Sibugay, via local cable providers.
