CVplay

CVplay (formerly VGC Player) is a Philippine video-on-demand streaming service and over-the-top media service owned and operated by the Direct-to-Consumer and Interactive division of VGC. Currently, it is a joint-venture between VGC (80%) and BBC Studios (20%), the commercial division of the British Broadcasting Corporation.

CVplay, as VGC Player, exited the beta phase in 2004, and was later relaunched with an application in 2007, using technology from BBC iPlayer, the video-on-demand service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (which resulted in the streaming service being an 80-20 joint venture). From 2017 to 2021, Central Communications held a 20% stake in CVplay (which caused the rebranding). Today, CVplay is the second-largest streaming service by paid subscriber count (behind Netflix). However, the service offers a scaled-down, ad-supported free version. As a result, CVplay (while it does not keep analytical records of free users) is ahead of Netflix by total user count.

Content library
Initially, the service was comprised of only in-house productions from VGC and co-owned film production studio Everest Pictures. However, VGC later struck deals with competing movie studios, as well as some broadcasters, for worldwide carriage of shows.

Through the BBC's 20% stake in the service, CVplay also features all of the BBC's productions, both shows produced for BBC-owned television services, and co-productions with other private companies.

Live TV
Paid subscribers have access to live television channels, depending on their area, including VGC Plus (branded as VGC outside the Philippines), VGC Sportsnet, VGC Movies, VGCN, VGC Business. Country-specific channels include Global Sports (Magisteria), Fox Sports (Magisteria), VGC (Philippines), VGC Family (Philippines), and Dish Networks (Asia). Until 2021, CVplay also carried Central News Channel and Game Show Network (Philippines).

CVplay Everywhere
Subscribers of VGC Cable and Dish International, as well as Dish (U.S.) are given a tailored CVplay account, which gives users access not only to VGC's Live TV channels, but also every television channel available with their cable/satellite subscription. VGC sees this strategy as part of the TV Everywhere initiative that started in the United States.
