Solar TV (stylized as SOLARtv) was the flagship television network of Solar Entertainment Corporation's television arm subsidiary Solar TV Network, Inc., which is the replacement of C/S 9. This was the revival of the former Solar channel Solar USA.

History

The channel launched on November 29, 2009, at 11:00am with a slogan It's A Bright New World on RPN.

On October 31, 2010, it changed some of its programming content to English/Tagalog with a new slogan Kung Saan Lahat Panalo!.

It ended its broadcast on February 25, 2011, as Solar Entertainment buys RPN and programming of ETC was transferred to RPN but will remain as a corporate brand of television arm subsidiary of Solar (now a subsidiary of ALC Group of Companies since August 23, 2014).
