After 8 years of broadcasting, Fox Networks Group announced that Fox Filipino would cease broadcast on July 7, 2020. The last program that aired on the channel was the drama series Destiny Rose before the color bars, as GMA and TV5 archived content were moved to its digital television channel, Heart of Asia Channel, Pinoy Hits (now defunct), and Cignal-run satellite network, One Screen (now defunct), respectively.[4] Fox Filipino's channel space were later replaced by ABS-CBN/Creative Programs, Inc.-owned Jeepney TV on other cable and satellite platforms, including Cignal.
