DWET-TV (channel 5) is a television station in Metro Manila, Philippines, serving as the flagship of the TV5 network. It is owned and operated by the network's namesake corporate parent; TV5 also provides certain services to RPTV flagship DZKB-TV (channel 9) and One Sports flagship DWNB-TV (channel 41) under an airtime lease agreement with station owners Radio Philippines Network and Nation Broadcasting Corporation, respectively.

The three stations share studios at the TV5 Media Center, Reliance cor. Sheridan Sts., Brgy. Highway Hills, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila. DWET-TV maintains its alternate studios and hybrid analog/digital transmitting facilities are located at the TV5 Complex, 762 Quirino Highway, Brgy. San Bartolome, Novaliches, Quezon City and its alternate digital transmitting facility is located at Block 3, Emerald Hills, Sumulong Highway, Antipolo, Rizal (shared with NBC-owned sister stations DWNB-TV, as well as Radyo5 flagship DWFM 92.3 MHz).

DWET-TV's digital signal operates on UHF Channel 18 (497.143 MHz)¹ and broadcasts on the following subchannels:

Prior to the NTC's assignment of channels 14 to 20 for major broadcast networks, the station utilized UHF Channel 51 (695.143 MHz)² for its digital TV operations, although it remains active to this day.

Since its addition to the subchannel lineup, One PH has been transmitted in widescreen on the channel 18 multiplex, while a 4:3 letterboxed feed is shown for the channel 51 multiplex; the latter would later mirror its widescreen feed with the former's multiplex sometime later. On April 16, 2023, output on DWET-TV began broadcasting its main channel in 16:9 widescreen output. The One Sports subchannel feeds, however, converted to widescreen broadcasting less than a year later, on January 22, 2024. Upon the launch of RPTV on February 1, 2024, it replaced the subchannel space of One PH, which reverted its availability to pay TV and streaming.
