History[]
As ETV 39[]
The station started as DWBP-TV ETV 39, owned by the Masawa Broadcasting Corporation. The network attempted to become the first free to air gambling channel on UHF with the nightly Bingo Pilipino draws. It also aired music videos and infomercials for the Sydney Olympics 2000. It however signed-off in 2001 as former President Joseph Estrada banned its draws in response to public clamor.
As ACQ-KBN Sonshine TV / SMNI TV 39[]
On January 8, 2006, after the series of test broadcasts (that started from November 2005 to the first few days of January, 2006), DWAQ-TV ACQ-KBN Sonshine TV 39 was launched at the first Global Thanksgiving and Worship presentation at the PhilSports Arena.
In July 2006, ACQ-KBN Sonshine TV to form as Sonshine Media Network International was launched as News and Public Affairs block which became a tie-up of ACQ-KBN Sonshine TV-39.
In August 2010, ACQ-KBN Sonshine TV (merger of ACQ-KBN and Sonshine Media Network International) was renamed as simply SMNI.
