DWCP-TV, channel 21 (SBN 21), is a television station owned by Southern
Broadcasting Network and currently its flagship station of Philippine television
network ETC. The station is operated by Solar Television Network with main
broadcast facilities at Solar Media Center, WCC Building, Shaw Boulevard corner
Epifanio de los Santos Avenue in Mandaluyong City and transmitter is located at
the rooftop of Strata 2000 Building Ortigas Center, Pasig City. SBN-21 became
the first local UHF TV station in Metro Manila that broadcast in May 1992 and
formerly known as World TV 21. It broadcasts daily from 7:00 AM to 12:00 MN.

Southern Broadcasting Network of Davao launched SBN Channel 21, the
first local UHF TV station in Metro Manila since 1992. It was then known as
World TV 21. The idea is to bring back programming similar to the forcibly
shut-down FEN Channel 17 of the former
Clark US Air Base a year earlier due to the
eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.
Beginning on January 1, 2008,
Solar Entertainment began to lease
airtime on SBN, choosing to broadcast
programming from its entertainment
channel ETC. This partnership ended in
March 2, 2011, as Solar transferred ETC
to RPN. As a result, SBN renewed
partnership with Solar Entertainment to
create the news network Talk TV. And on
