Q (formerly QTV and stylized as Qtv, standing for Quality Television) was a television network in the Philippines run by GMA Network Inc. through Citynet Network Marketing and Productions, Inc. The network primarily aired lifestyle and entertainment programs particularly aimed towards women. Its flagship station was DZOE-TV, which GMA ran as part of a lease with its owner, ZOE Broadcasting Network (who also aired programming on Q's schedule as part of the agreement, which also granted it access to technical resources from GMA).

History
Q launched on November 11, 2005, as QTV ("Quality Television"), a network primarily targeting women with a mix of local and international lifestyle and drama programming.[1] Its main Metro Manila stations were DZOE-TV (leased by GMA from ZOE Broadcasting Network) and the GMA-owned DWDB-TV (a UHF translator previously operating as Citynet 27). On March 18, 2007, QTV rebranded itself simply as "Q".
Relaunch as GMA News TV
On February 7, 2011, GMA Network announced that Q would be replaced by the news channel GMA News TV (now GTV). Q's programming officially ended on February 20. The network then broadcast under the temporary "Channel 11" branding, airing teasers for the relaunch from February 21 to 25. It signed off completely on February 26 and 27 to prepare for its formal re-launch as GMA News TV on February 28.[2][3]
