DZRJ-DTV

First Years

RJTV began its test broadcast in April 1993, with station produced programming which was an entertaining mix of music oriented shows, local news, talk show, and the very first local Home TV Shopping program.

On July 3, 1995, RJTV went into niche programming and timeless television series, shopping and animation programs for children. At the time, the target market was kids during the day, and baby boomers at night. In 1997, due to the emergence of UHF competitors such as Studio 23 (now ABS-CBN Sports+Action) and CTV-31 (now as BEAM TV), RJTV went from traditional TV programming to specialized programs such as direct response companies and religious sectors. RJTV recognized the advent of specialized television – niche markets that identify specific needs of certain sectors.

In 2003, RJTV experimented with its new programming approach, as it simulcasted its sister FM station RJ 100, which started its new trend called the 'TeleRadyo' concept through RJ's own program RJ Online (now known as RJ Sunday Jam; though it remains to air up to this day). It also became one of the channels who would also try to conceptualize its interactive television approach, as it became a text-oriented interactive channel, first airing music videos, combined with the power of SMS messaging. Eventually, it aired programs simulcasted over DZRJ 810 AM (another sister station of RJTV) during mornings, shopping programs during afternoons and live entertainment programming during primetime, thus, the station adopted its slogan "Interactive TV Station".

Affiliation with Solar / 2nd Avenue

On January 1, 2008, as a result of a blocktime agreement of Solar Entertainment Corporation with various terrestrial networks, RJTV has started carrying shows from Solar's 2nd Avenue.^{[1] [2]}

On September 9, 2012, RJTV temporarily ceased broadcasting together with 3ABN/Hope Channel Philippines Channel, way though it is still broadcasting via cable networks only. It was found out that this station is upgrading its transmitter and somehow returned on-air at exactly 6am on November 21, 2012.

In 2015, DZRJ-TV began to use the Solar-owned transmitter tower located near Nuestra Señora de la Paz Subdivision, Bo. Sta. Cruz, Antipolo City province of Rizal, sharing transmission with Solar's subsidiary, Southern Broadcasting Network. Its aim is to provide a clearer and better signal reception for SBN and RJTV in both analog and digital signals.

Return to Independent Channel

Last June 5, 2018, at exactly 1:02 a.m., 2nd Avenue officially signed off on free TV after 10 years of their blocktime agreement and collaboration with RJTV, though it remains in other cable / satellite providers until the end of the month. Thus allowing the station to revert to RJTV and reinstate its own programming that went inactive in 2008. The newly-reformatted RJTV began airing at 12 midnight on major cable providers, with TV Shop Philippines, as its first program to air during the test broadcast on the newly-launched channel, followed by re-run of some of the local programs aired on RJTV including Pinoy Wrestling and RJ's concert specials.

Initially, the official relaunch of RJTV will be set on July 15, 2018. But it is moved on April 1, 2019, coinciding with the start of the digital terrestrial television broadcasts on UHF Channel 29. The network plans to accommodate six digital channels that will air local & foreign content including RJTV and Oras ng Himala (Jesus is Our Shield Worldwide Ministries) subchannels and TeleRadyo channels for its sister stations Radyo Bandido 810 AM and RJ 100.3 FM.^[3] Upon the relaunch, it will become the 2nd television station to end its analog transmission and went full-blown on its digital television broadcasts. (more than a year after Light TV 33, though it still beams on analog through its provincial stations).
