DWVG-DTV

DWVG-DTV, virtual channel 6 (UHF digital channel 24), is the flagship station of the VGC television network, licensed to Parañaque City, Metro Manila and serves the "Mega Manila" area. The station is owned by the VGC Television Stations division of VGC Television Inc., itself owned by VGC. It is sister to radio stations DWVG (855 AM), DWMT-FM (100.7), and Antipolo-licensed DWVG-FM (102.9). All four stations share studios at the VGC Plaza Studios in Parañaque City; DWVG-DTV's transmitter is shared between all outlets but DWVG-FM near the Plaza studios in Parañaque.

The television network unit of VGC, which includes DWVG-DTV, is being spun off into a joint venture between VGC and Greater East Media, which once approved, will make it a sister station to independent station DWCH-DTV (channel 50). DWCH-DTV is currently being used as an HD testing ground of both VGC and NBS (through DZNB-TV, channel 8) through separate time brokerage agreements (TBA) with GEM. Both DWVG-DTV and DWCH-DTV have been sister stations from 1997 to 2004 through VGC's ownership in the now-defunct V+ television service.

Satellite/relay stations
Notes:
 * 1. DWCH-DTV (formerly DWCH-TV) was formerly owned by the US Military as part of the Far East Network (now American Forces Network). It was dark from June to November 1991 following the sale of the station to CHUM Limited resulting from the withdrawal of the United States from Clark Air Base. CHUM Limited sold its independent stations to VGC and became part of the V+ television service until it shut down in 2004, after which VGC sold its stations, with DWCH-TV ending up under the ownership of CanWest Global. DWCH-TV, along with Canwest's assets in the Philippines were sold to Greater East Media in 2010.

Experimental operations
DWVG-DTV traces its history to The Manila Post 's experimental television station, founded by the Post 's Villena Corporation of Eduardo "Ka-Eddy" Villena. Programming when it first began operations in 1946 consisted of nightly newsreels from the Post, as well as some live programming retransmitted for television from DZVC radio (850 AM, now DWVG). The station briefly broadcast on "channel 5" but later moved to channel 6 after channel changes on the NTSC system in the United States by its Federal Communications Commission.

Second-oldest commercial television station
On September 1, 1949, almost six months after the sign on of DZNB-TV (channel 8) of the Alpha Electronics Corporation (precursor to today's NBS) of the Montecarlos family, the company, now called Villena Group of Companies after purchasing a radio group in the United States, and now VGC (legal name with no meaning), received a commercial license for its channel 6 station under the call letters DZVC-TV to align with its radio sisters (which by that time included 102.9 FM, now DWVG-FM).

Its first ever advertisment came in the form of a sponsored newsreel. The Manila Post Newsreel became the Stanvac Newsreel, as it was sponsored for the first time by the Standard Vacuum Oil Company (later the Philippine version of Esso and is now Petron Corporation). Programming from the VGC network was limited to telecasts of radio programs from DZVC radio, including bodabil-based Asiavaude.

It did not take long for a third competitor to arrive in 1953—the Alto Broadcasting System with DZAQ-TV (channel 3, later DWWX-TV on channel 2, now defunct). In 1954, VGC expanded to certain parts of the country through owned-and-operated markets—Pampanga, Iloilo, Bacolod, Cebu (now Central O&Os), and Koronadal (now a GMA affiliate), as well as affiliate partnerships with the Del Fonso Company (precursor to Greater East Media), Westinghouse Broadcasting (all but two stations owned by Citycom Multimedia and Productions, mostly Central affiliates; one station is now a VGC O&O), and the Dela Vera family (most are now Central affiliates).

Broadcast media at time of martial law
On September 23, 1972, all of VGC's owned-and-operated radio and television stations were shut down under government order, but some VGC affiliates, notably the ones owned by the Dela Vera group, remained on air and kept contracts with network import distributors to keep most programming on the air as they did not receive a closure order. However the station went back on air on January 1, 1973 under time-limited permits from the government. VGC resisted takeovers, most notably after a press freedom parade organized by Ka-Eddy Villena after the death of Don Eugenio Lopez, calling for the release of his son Geny, which ultimately escaped prison and went to the United States in exile.

Despite the political pressure, VGC went on to become the number-one television network in the country, almost always beating the three Roberto Benedicto-owned television channels (KBS/RPN, BBC–which replaced ABS-CBN, and IBC) It even received stronger affiliates in the early 1980s due to the ratings decline of NBS.

Post-EDSA Revolution (1986-present)
On March 31, 1986, in order to reimage itself after the EDSA People Power Revolution that ousted President Ferdinand Marcos, VGC renamed the station to DWVG-TV in order to match the new call letters of DWVG radio.
