DWVN-TV channel 45, is a television station of Gateway UHF Broadcasting. Its studios are located at San Juan cor. Donada Street, Pasay City, while its transmitter is located at Nuestra Señora Dela Paz Subdivision, Sumulong Highway, Brgy. Santa Cruz, Antipolo City, Rizal; sharing facilities with DWLA 105.9.[1][2]

History

UHF 45 began its operations on June 1, 2001, carrying 3ABN, the religious U.S.-based network of Seventh-day Adventist Church. In the later part of September 2011, it started carrying Hope Channel PHL, which is also associated by the said religion and broadcast every night while 3ABN broadcast every morning. On April 1, 2012, due to some transmitter and signal problems of the network, the station temporarily became silent. On May 15, 2012, it returned on-air with the same transmitting power.

It closed its operation again on September 9, 2012, together with DZRJ-TV (which then transmitted from RJTV's tower before their transmitter shift in 2015). It was later found that the transmitter of UHF 45 was struck by lightning bolt. As a result, the station shut down temporarily for maintenance. It returned to airwaves on December 10, 2012.

Around 2011, Gateway began carrying Hope Channel PHL[3] a U.S.-based Filipino language religious network which is also associated by the said religion. Initially aired as a blocktime program at select times, it later became available as a dedicated digital channel on terrestrial television in 2015.

From being a religious affiliate, Gateway leaned away from its privilege and converted into a basic blocktime broadcaster in mid-2017 by carrying Global News Network programs on its digital signal. Later, Gateway quietly ended its direct ties with 3ABN; instead, the main/analog service carries a separate Hope Channel PH's programming as well as other archived Adventist content. The analog service then limited programming at nighttime, although its signal remains active daily from morning to midnight.

By April 2018, Gateway re-introduced Hope Channel International from its digital television lineup; while its affiliation with 3ABN was re-secured by the network, albeit as a digital subchannel.
