These stations are owned by Spanish Broadcasting System Puerto Rico, the owners of WZNT 93.7 FM, WZMT 93.3 FM, WZET 92.1 FM, WODA 94.7 FM, WNOD 94.1 FM, WRXD 96.5 FM, WIOB 97.5 FM, WMEG 106.9 FM & WEGM 95.1 FM.
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 & WUJA) during the 80s; around 1990, the station also carried Home Shopping Network programming during most of the late-morning and afternoon hours. There are now four commercial English-language network-affiliated stations in Puerto Rico, all of which broadcast from San Juan & Mayagüez.
On September 11, 2014, WTCV became a Mega TV owned & 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 & 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.
