WTCV is a full-service television station in San Juan, Puerto Rico transmitting over digital channel 32. The station's programming consists of music videos.
During the 1980s and early 1990s, WTCV was known as WSJU (SJU standing for San Juan International Airport's ID) and was an NBC affiliate, one of two commercial English-language networked stations broadcasting in Puerto Rico (the other being WPRV-TV) during the 80s; around 1990, the station also carried Home Shopping Network programming during most of the late-morning and afternoon hours.[1] There are now three commercial English-language network-affiliated stations in Puerto Rico, all of which broadcast from Mayagüez.
