History
The station was formed as part of the discontinuation of Solar USA and its split into two networks. Comedy, drama, and reality shows moved to Jack TV, and the other programming was maintained on the new network C/S (now Solar TV).
However, when Solar TV was replaced by Talk TV (now CNN Philippines), Jack TV reverted to its Solar USA programming while maintaining some of the programming that made it a staple in its early years.
On October 20, 2012, Solar Entertainment launched its secondary channel Jack CITY (now CT) on BEAM Channel 31 (now broadcast on cable since September 1, 2014), replacing CHASE.
