The idea is to bring back programming similar to the forceably shut down FEN Channel 17 of the former Clark US Air Base a year earlier due to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.

On January 1, 2008, Solar Entertainment Corporations entertainment channel ETC Entertainment Central aired on this station. [1]
