History

On August 27, 1995, the Philippines' newest "Window to the World" was born as CITYNET Television (UHF channel) went on air.

Transmitting on a 30,000-watt power capacity with an effective radiated power of up to 60,000 watts, Citynet's telecast on channel 27 covers the Greater Manila Area and its neighboring provinces in Bulacan, Laguna, and Cavite.

The station was later reformatted to a video music channel and was renamed EMC 27. In 1999, GMA Network and STAR Network entered a joint venture to launch a local version of Channel [V] in the Philippines. EMC was later renamed Channel [V] Philippines and started operations on December 15, 1999.
