You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''DWCP-DTV''' (channel 21) is a [[television station]] in [[Metro Manila]], Philippines, serving as the [[Flagship (broadcasting)|flagship]] of the [[SolarFlix]] network. The station is owned by [[Southern Broadcasting Network]], a subsidiary of [[Solar Entertainment Corporation]]. Its studios are located at the Third Floor Worldwide Corporate Center, [[Shaw Boulevard]] corner EDSA, [[Mandaluyong]], while its hybrid digital transmitting facility is located at the Solar Entertainment Complex, along Nuestra Señora de la Paz Subdivision, Barangay Sta. Cruz, [[Antipolo]], [[Rizal (province)|Rizal]].<ref>[http://www.asiawaves.net/philippines-tv.htm#southern TV Stations in the Philippines]</ref>

DWCP-TV became the first local [[UHF]] TV station in Metro Manila that began broadcast in May 1992 as World TV 21. It operates daily from 8:00am to 12:00mn on terrestrial television, with programming available 24 hours daily across cable and satellite providers.
<!---Confirmed--->

==History==
Southern Broadcasting Network of [[Davao City|Davao]] launched SBN Channel 21, the first local UHF TV station in [[Metro Manila]] since 1992. It was then known as World TV 21 by Kampana Television Corporation, which provided programming content from ABC, [[CNN]] and [[ESPN]] on this channel then. The idea is to bring back programming similar to the forcibly shut-down [[Far East Network|FEN Channel 17]] of the former Clark US Air Base a year earlier due to the [[Mount Pinatubo|Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo]]

Beginning on January 1, 2008, [[Solar Entertainment Corporation|Solar Entertainment]] began to lease airtime on SBN, choosing to broadcast programming from its entertainment channel [[ETC (Philippine TV channel)|ETC]].<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.etc.com.ph/news.htm |title=ETC Available on SBN 21 |access-date=November 3, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120209191429/http://www.etc.com.ph/news.htm |archive-date=February 9, 2012 |url-status=dead ))</ref> This partnership ended on March 2, 2011, as Solar transferred ETC to [[Radio Philippines Network|RPN]]. As a result, SBN renewed partnership with Solar Entertainment to create the news network [[Talk TV (Philippine TV network)|Talk TV.]] On October 30, 2012, the channel was renamed as the [[Solar News Channel]].

On December 1, 2013, SNC's programming was moved to RPN for wider national coverage, with ETC returned to SBN a day before.

In 2015, SBN ceased using its old analog transmitter tower at Strata 2000 building in [[Pasig]] (which was obvious to consider even after Solar's purchase of SBN due to the old Sign-on and Sign-off sequences) and began using Solar's newly constructed tower located in Antipolo for a clearer and better signal reception in both the analog and digital signals.

As of September 12, 2019, SBN closed down its analog signal in favor of digital TV broadcast.

==Technical information==
((main|Easy TV (Philippines)))
SBN launched its digital television broadcast in 2015, alongside another digital signal from Byers Communications. Solar Entertainment supplies its DTV channels through the new platform, allowing the company to launch the Easy TV DTT service. For unknown reasons, the transmitter's encryption system was activated throughout its run, making two of the station's subchannels receivable only on set-top boxes with this capability. The technical issue was fixed by September 25, 2017.

The station remained on the air, despite Easy TV's close of operations on September 30, 2019.

===Analog-to-digital transition===
DWCP-TV terminated its analog signal on UHF channel 21, on September 12, 2021, as preparation for the Philippines' transition to digital terrestrial television. The station then [[Flash-cut|flashcut]] its digital signal from its pre-transition channel 22 to the analog-era channel 21 for post-transition operations.
