Crime/Suspense started operations as Solar USA. In 2005, Jack TV replaced Solar USA and a separate new channel, Crime/Suspense, started test broadcasting on October 15, 2005. On January 1, 2008, the channel became C/S and is now being both on as a cable channel and as a free TV channel through Radio Philippines Network (RPN).
While C/S would retain its official original abbreviation meaning (Crime/Suspense), RPN added a second meaning, Conservation/Survival, as RPN and Solar Entertainment's joint commitment for environment and ecological awareness.
C/S on RPN had its major revamp on October 4, 2008 and is known today as C/S 9, while C/S on Cable TV remains as C/S Origin.
The cable TV C/S was relaunched as a brand new channel called C/S Origin. This channel features unparalleled selection of programming choices with the hottest shows, latest seasons, the most intriguing factuals and blockbuster movies. This channel started airing on September 14, 2008 in Global Destiny Cable.
On December 16, 2007, the channel programming was joint venture with SOLAR's formerly cable-only channel Crime/Suspense or "C/S 9." The following is the primetime (6:00-11:00 p.m.) line-up for C/S 9.
