FV+

The VGC Television network (branded as FV+) is an English-language Filipino television network owned by VGC Broadcasting Philippines, Inc., a subsidiary of the Villena Broadcast Holdings Corporation. It was first launched on October 1, 1953 as VGC TV, 19 days before Philippine TV went mainstream. On September 14, 1998, VGC rebranded the network as TV3X1, symbolizing its new station DWFV-TV's frequency (channel 111; now on channel 20) as 3 digits of (X) 1, while keeping VGC Television as its official name.

On September 12, 2016, following VGC's purchase of formerly minority-owned PlayStation TV (when it was launched as BOMBO TV, VGC had a 25% stake until 2007), VGC Television's brand was changed again as FV+, again as a symbol of the flagship station, this time its call letters.

Television prior VGC TV
On July 4, 1946, just after then-US president Harry S. Truman declared the Philippines' independence from the United States, the Parañaque City-based Villena Corporation, which owns KZVC-AM (725 kHz; became DZVC in 1948 and moved to 850 kHz in 1977), tested a television station on UHF channel 30, but was discontinued in 1948. The channel 30 frequency is now the home of DWAM-TV as it has been since 2001.

The first Villena-controlled SUHF test
In 1950, the company, after seeing the launch of Westinghouse-owned experimental station and CBS-affiliated DCIM-TV (channel 15), bought Far East Broadcasting (not related to the US Air Force-owned Far East Network), which was testing a television station on SUHF channel 85 (an unrecognized frequency) and manufactures SUHF-capable television sets in the area with a collaboration with RCA. After the purchase, the company became the Villena Group of Companies, and kept the deal with RCA, as VGC's founder was a friend of RCA and NBC veteran David Sarnoff.

There, they started experimental operations for DZVC-TV. In 1953, the government gave commercial licenses to VGC, Westinghouse, and another company which experiments with ABC-affiliated DABC.
