== History ==
=== Prior to the launch of PHTV ===
On July 4, 1946, just after then-US president Harry S. Truman declared the Philippines' independence from the United States, the Parañaque City-based Villena Corporation, which owns KZVC-AM (725 kHz; became DZVC in 1948 and moved to 850 kHz in 1977), tested a television station on UHF channel 30, but was discontinued in 1948.
On 1950, the company, after seeing the launch of Westinghouse-owned experimental station and CBS-affiliated DCIM-TV (channel 15), bought Far East Broadcasting (not related to the US Air Force-owned Far East Network), which was testing a television station on SUHF channel 85 (an unrecognized frequency) and manufactures SUHF-capable television sets in the area with a collaboration with RCA. After the purchase, the company became the Villena Group of Companies, and kept the deal with RCA, as VGC's founder was a friend of RCA and NBC veteran David Sarnoff. There, they started experimental operations for DZVC-TV.
=== Launching & first years ===
In 1953, the government gave commercial licenses to VGC, Westinghouse, and another company which experiments with ABC-affiliated DABC. And with new shows to be aired, VGC started to broadcast DZVC-TV commercially, in line with the launch of the VGC TV network.
To come up with viewership, VGC sold FEB's TV line as VTV (for VGC TV). The sales were booming, so as VGC TV viewership.
In 1956, DWVC-TV (now a PlayStation TV O&O) in Dagupan City, owned by General Tire, signed on as the first affiliate. General Tire had very good relations with VGC since they helped the company sign on KFRC in San Francisco. In 1958, the VGC affiliate program was opened. Soon after, Westinghouse (which owned DCIM in Manila), General Electric, and Daily Oklahoman/Oklahoma Times owner Edward K. Gaylord, applied for VGC affiliation.
In 1961, just during the first episode of Walt Disney's NBC run of his show, VGC went color.
In 1969, the American Broadcasting Company contributed on the image campaign side of VGC by applying ABC's campaigns to the network.
In 1970, Joel Ethan and Ronaldo Cruz, who started an small TV business on Manila, established DPHI-TV. Not so far ago, DPHI recieved threats from Marcos so they’ve created goverment-supported DWPO-TV.
