A subsidiary of the LausGroup of Companies, CLTV36 was launched on March 19, 2007. Its 10,000-watt transmitter is located at the Clark Freeport Zone and its studios are located in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga. As one of the youngest terrestrial television stations in the Philippines, it was created when Philippine Congress granted a franchise under Republic Act No. 8219 on September 12, 1997 and duly licensed by the NTC on January 10, 2007. CLTV36, from its inception, was designed to serve the region through its locally-oriented news and public affairs programs. Aside from being the three-time KBP Golden Dove Awardee for Best TV Station (Provincial), CLTV36 is also the region’s most watched and most trusted source of news, infotainment, and entertainment, airing on free-to-air television and broadcasting over Pampanga, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija and Tarlac, up to Pangasinan in the north and Rizal and Cavite in the south, including Metro Manila.
