RJTV 29 is a UHF digital free to air television station of Rajah Broadcasting Network, Inc., with RJ Group of Companies founder Ramon "RJ" Jacinto.

Profile[]

RJTV 29 began its test broadcast in April 1993 and launched a month later as RJTV (Ramon Jacinto TeleVision), an independent television channel focusing on music oriented shows, local news, talk shows, and the very first local Home TV Shopping program, dubbed as Your Music & Shopping Network.

RJ Group of Companies founder Ramon "RJ" Jacinto has announced during his Sunday music show that they now have a tentative date for launching RJTV's Digital terrestrial TV broadcast.

On July 3, 1995, RJTV went into niche programming and timeless television series, shopping and animation programs for children. At the time, the target market was kids during the day, and baby boomers at night. In 1997, due to the emergence of UHF competitors such as the former Studio 23 and CTV 31, RJTV went from traditional TV programming to specialized programs such as direct response companies and religious sectors. RJTV recognized the advent of specialized television – niche markets that identify specific needs of certain sectors.

In 2003, RJTV experimented with its new programming approach, as it simulcasted its sister FM station RJ 100, which started its new trend called the 'TeleRadyo' concept through RJ's own program RJ Online (now known as RJ Sunday Jam; though it remains to air up to this day). It also became one of the channels who tried to conceptualize its interactive television approach, as it became a text-oriented interactive channel, first airing music videos, combined with the power of SMS messaging. Also, it aired programs simulcasted over RBN's radio station DZRJ AM during mornings, shopping programs during afternoons and live entertainment programming during primetime, thus, the station adopted its slogan Interactive TV Station.

Established in 1993, the station is the flagship TV property of Rajah Broadcasting Network, Inc. as the owner and operator, a broadcast company owned by long-time guitarist/musician and DICT undersecretary Ramon "RJ" Jacinto.

RJTV is one of the very few UHF stations seen nationwide through its satellite and cable providers.
