Timeline
- DXXX TV-5 was opened 1960. It was the only network-owned station in Zamboanga at that time.
- The former studios were located at the Phidco Building 1, Veterans Avenue, Zamboanga City while its transmitter was at Sitio Presa Mayor, Barangay Tumaga, Zamboanga City
- Due to technical failures, RPN Zamboanga aired programs in one-week delay in 1991 until 1996.
- DXXX TV was off the air to give way to the transfer and repair of facilities to Barangay Tugbungan from September 1998 to November 2000
- November 2000 RPN was in test broadcasting and on December 25, 2000, Arangkada Chavacano, a local version of Arangkada Xtra Balita, was launched.
- January 1, 2008- RPN's TV programming was changed when C/S, a cable network by Solar Entertainment, airs programs on free TV and telecasts on RPN stations, including Zamboanga (which the station airs from 6:00 a.m.-12:00 a.m.).
- October 2008, RPN's stations ultimately took on the C/S name as part of their permanent branding, and rebranded itself as C/S 9. The C/S 9 name would not last, on November 29, 2009, the network re-branded again under the new name Solar TV. In late 2010, it was revealed that RPN would no longer carry PBA games, due to planned re-launch to occur in 2011, with more "feminine" programming.
- February 25, 2011, RPN signed off. However, the sign-off was only in preparation for a relaunch as ETC on March 2, 2011.
