It aired from October 19, 1992 to March 7, 1997, and was replaced by Zenki. The show's format was inspired by its predecessor Kaluskos Musmos, (a popular Philippine kiddie gag show in the 1970s), The Big Big Show as a spiritual processor, and its foreign counterpart The Mickey Mouse Club. Prior to 1992, TV executive Freddie Garcia and ace TV director Johnny Manahan organized the ABS-CBN Star Magic and enlisted a group of kids and pre-teens to create the first ever youth-oriented comedy-variety show in the Philippines. Its phenomenal success in 1993 had ABS-CBN develop provincial versions of Ang TV in Cebu, Bacolod and Davao.

A lot has changed during this era. Most of them are non showbiz personnel already. Some say that other Ang TV casts have started their career in the states. Some Ang TV talents were seen in a call center located in Ortigas and Libis. And some just enjoying their blessings while living a normal life. Yet then again these superstars changed the future of television making their show Legendary.
In homage to Ang TV, Bodie Cruz, as a cast member of the reality show , had to complete a task of beginning each of his sentences with "Esmyuskee" (play with the phrase "excuse me"), and then ending them with "Nge!" Big Brother also featured some footage of Bodie's stint as an Ang TV kid.
Ang TV, The Album and Ang TV: Krismas Album was released in 1994 through Ivory Music & Video (formerly Ivory Records). Ang TV Na!: The Homecoming followed with a release date in 1996 via Star Music.
Ang TV was re-aired again now on Jeepney TV in 2012 due to its popularity and loyalty of TV viewers.
More recently, the Esmyuskee skit appeared in ABS-CBN's 2013 summer station ID, with former Ang TV mainstay Angelica Panganiban and the Goin Bulilit kids reciting the skit.
The Esmyuskee skit was also used on Goin' Bulilit, with the Ang TV cast members Angelica Panganiban on September 22, 2013, and Jolina Magdangal on November 16, 2014, as special guests.
