History

Prior to its resurface, BCI was assigned on UHF 68 by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). In 1992, BCI launched Intervision on Channel 68 as a UHF pay television service. A year later, however, ceased its operations due to an intense competition with cable operators, particularly Sky Cable.

In 2018, the NTC granted Byers Communications a television license assigned on UHF 30 for pay television purposes. [1] SEC and BCI signed an agreement wherein SEC will operate multiple subchannels on UHF 30 via digital terrestrial transmission.

In 2018, Solar launched its commercial freemium digital TV service Easy TV. The service, however, ceased its operations on September 30, 2019. [2] [3]

As of August 2020, this station currently carries the Solar Learning channel, which rebroadcasts a live feed from the Department of Education's DepEd TV programming service. [4] [5]
