WVEO is a full-service television station in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico transmitting on digital channel 17.
WVOZ-TV (digital channel 36) is also a full-service television station located in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
These stations are owned by Spanish Broadcasting System Puerto Rico, the owners of WZNT 93.7 FM, WZMT 93.3 FM, WODA 94.7 FM, WNOD 94.1 FM, WRXD 96.5 FM, WIOB 97.5 FM, WMEG 106.9 FM and WEGM 95.1 FM.[citation needed]
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 others being WPRV-TV and WUJA) during the 80s; around 1990, the station also carried Home Shopping Network programming during most of the late-morning and afternoon hours.[1][self-published source?] There are now four commercial English-language network-affiliated stations in Puerto Rico, all of which broadcast from San Juan and Mayagüez.[citation needed]
On September 11, 2014, WTCV became a Mega TV owned and operated station, following the sale of Spanish Broadcasting System through its License Management Agreement for $1.9 millon, leaving its status as an Independent station, while its former owner, International Broadcasting Corporation continues to be its Licensee, until SBS will transfer WIOA 99.9 FM, WIOC 105.1 FM and WZET 92.1 FM to IBC's TV operations. Starting in March 2015, WTCV will begin its local programming, produced by SBS Puerto Rico, which owns Z-93, La Nueva 94, Estereotempo and La Mega. The sale of WTCV with SBS was completed on September 1, 2015.
On January 12, 2018 WTCV announced that Conectao's por la Cocina, ¿Y Cual es su Opinion? and Descarao' Por La Noche had been canceled due to economic loss, contracts with local talent and production staff.
