Kapamilya Box Office (KBO) is a premium digital terrestial television channel exclusive to ABS-CBN TV Plus users. It was initially launched in May 2015 as a pay-per-view channel intended for the historic boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. It was formerly registered as the "TVPlus Xtra Channel" but became inactive after the coverage. By April 2016, the channel was renamed to KBO.
KBO's weekend programming includes a movie marathon from the film library of Star Cinema, Myx simulcast and a catch-up marathon of ABS-CBN's primetime drama program Dolce Amore.[1][2] PPV events are also included to its programming on any day of the week (such as the live broadcast of Nonito Donaire-Zholt Bedak boxing match in Cebu and the Halalan 2016 coverage).
TVPlus users can watch KBO, provided that the user (thru text) subscribes to a low-cost service load from an ABS-CBNmobile sim card, which can be reloaded weekly. PPV loads cost higher than the regular KBO load, which may include a bundled free data allowance from ABS-CBN's iWanTV online service.
KBO is the second and considered successful attempt to have a on-air subscription-based television channel in the country, after Intelvision 68 in 1992.
