On September 30, 2013, after a hard economic crisis, the free-to-air network MTV Brasil ended its activities and Grupo Abril returned the rights of the MTV brand in Brazil to Viacom, which used it as a new pay TV channel. Days before the closure, Abril announced it would reutilize the TV Abril brand used before the MTV launch as a new TV network focused on entrepreneurial audience, as well as Ideal TV.

At 12am on October 1, 2013, a second iteration of Ideal TV went on air, but it was still called TV Abril off-screen reprising programs and footages from its first era. In December, Abril sold the network to Spring Comunicação which planned an E! inspired entertainment channel at the time making Ideal TV its official name off-screen.

The channel was still owned by Abril due to the pending approval of the sale. Ideal TV started retransmitting partially AgroBrasil TV in March 2014, after having run out all of its footage library. But later that year, 22 hours a day of its programming schedule were rented for retransmission of religious networks, Rede Mundial (2014-2017; 2018-present) and TV Universal (2017-2018) while the other 2 hours rotated between Telecurso, news bulletin from AFP, NBR and TV Brasil productions and Jornal Ideal, the only program produced by the network since 2013; maintaining that practice until today.

In October 2020, it was announced that Ideal TV would be replaced by a new youth-oriented channel named Loading; however, the network was maintained only on its analog satellite feed. In November 2021, the network returned to terrestrial feed, as Loading ended their activities.
