Sari-Sari Network a 24-hour general entertainment channel joint-ventured by TV5 Network Inc., through Cignal Digital TV and Viva Communications Inc.. Named after the Philippine Sari-sari store, it offers a variety of shows from the portfolios of Viva TV and TV5. The channel's content include archive shows and movies from Viva Television and VIVA Films, original movies from Studio5, the film production arm of TV5 Network and in-house original productions in partnership of the latter's talents.

Also, the Sari-Sari Network, will be delegated as official production outfit to handle all entertainment programs of TV5 after Viva Communications chief Vicente "Vic" del Rosario, Jr. was appointed as the network's entertainment head, replacing Wilma Galvante, following retrenchment on TV5's main entertainment department. This is also a similarity during the transfer of Viva tandem James Reid and Nadine Lustre to ABS-CBN fresh from their leading cast of their movie Talk Back and You're Dead (co-production with ABS-CBN's film outfit, Star Cinema). This film is due to the success of Diary ng Panget: The Movie. ^{[1] [2]}
