The UNTV Transmitter is a 328 ft (100.0 m) communication tower owned by Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International, Inc. located at Emerald Hills, Sumulong Highway, Antipolo, Rizal, Republic of the Philippines. It serves as the new transmitter facility for flagship stations DWAO-TV (UNTV News and Rescue) and DWNU, with broadcast licenses owned by the stations founder Progressive Broadcasting Corporation.
In July 2013, BMPI Chairman and CEO Daniel Razon announced the network's plan of upgrading its facilities, in preparation for its transition from analog to the Japanese ISDB-T digital system. The construction of the new transmitter began in early 2013, completed before the end of the year and became fully operational in January 2014. Upon the launch, the tower replaced its old transmitter under a lease agreement at Crestview Subdivision in Antipolo, Rizal since 2001. In July 2014, when BMPI took over the management of PBC's 107.5, DWNU also shifted its transmitter to the UNTV Tower.
