History

Solar Entertainment first launched its namesake entertainment cable channel in the early 2000s, one devoted to American programs. This channel was later known as Solar USA (the acronym stands for "Ultimate in Suspense and Action"), and then later simply as USA. USA was replaced by two separate channels in 2005. Solar USA's comedy and general entertainment programming was moved to Jack TV, while action and crime dramas were given a new separate channel, Crime/Suspense, later launched in October of that year.

As part of a partnership established with the Radio Philippines Network, C/S became the on-air brand for its network of over-the-air stations across the Philippines on January 1, 2008. The C/S cable channel was later rebranded as C/S Origin in September of the same year, while the RPN network later changed its branding to C/S 9 the next month, and then changed its name to Solar TV on November 29, 2009.

On December 24, 2011, CHASE was launched. This is the revival TV network of C/S because of its similar format. On October 20, 2012, it was rebranded as Jack City, carrying the same format. On March 22, 2015, Jack City was rebranded as CT (now defunct).

From C/S 9 and C/S Origin

(*) - The Survivor franchise originally aired on Studio 23 (laterly S+A now defunct) before its move to C/S. However, when GMA acquired the rights to air the Philippines' version of Survivor, sister station Q (laterly GMA News TV, now GTV seen on UHF 27) also acquired the rights to air the next Survivor TV series. Survivor: Gabon was first shown on September 26, 2008, while Survivor: Tocantins was shown on February 14, 2009, on C/S Origin. The franchise moved back entirely to Solar with the showing of Survivor: Samoa on C/S 9.
