Prior to its current network, it was founded in 1983 as GV Broadcasting System by the Galang family.
GV's broadcast franchise was granted in 1995,[1] and was later amended in 1998 allowing the inclusion of establishing its pay TV business.
[3] The Galangs later spun off its own radio assets into a new entity called Metro City Media Services.
In 2014, MCMS merged with the pay TV business of Apollo Global Corporation (the company whose associated with the Santa Ana racetrack owner Philippine Racing Club) to form Apollo Broadcast Investors.
In some cases, the channel is timeshared with the live racetrack broadcasts of MJCI, MetroTurf and (the channel's former partner) PRCI, thus pre-empting its programming during live racing coverages at the discretion of a local pay TV provider.
