History
As CTV-32 Naga
On October 31, 1992, Radio Mindanao Network became the second radio-based network to launch a TV station called CTV-32. It is also the first UHF station to be inspired by the format of a cable movie channel. But recently CTV-32 Naga acquired and aired E! (the American-cable network channel in the US) in mid-1997. Because of the broadcasting rules assigned by National Telecommunications Commission and the matter that they acquired the broadcast rights from E!, CTV-31 stopped its broadcast on September 2000
As E! 31 Philippines and ceased transmission
In mid-1997, it acquired rights to broadcast shows from the E! channel, a U.S. cable TV channel, which broadcast together with RMN's CTV-32 Naga. On September 2000, CTV leased the entire channel block and changed its name to E! Philippines and limited its broadcast from 6pm-12mn .[2] However on June 1, 2003, RMN had to cease all their operations on TV facing financial constraints and poor television ratings, and somehow decided to focus only on their radio networks in Naga (namely Radyo Mo Nationwide 91.1 FM Naga). There were several religious groups who wish to acquire block programming of CTV but RMN refused to accept their offers.

Initial Broadcast & The Game Channel
Recently, after 8 years of being silent in Naga City, Camarines Sur, on July 3, 2011, UHF 32 returned its operations as a test broadcast.[3] The station was affiliated and occupied by Globe Telecom, as the partner of Betlehem Holdings, Inc. via Altimax Broadcasting Co. Inc., which decided that Radio Mindanao Network retains as the owner of the entire UHF 31 facilities.[4] And as the first broadcast TV operations of Globe Telecom, they have decided to have an affiliation partnership with Solar Entertainment Corporation. The network was branded on July 13 as BEAM Channel 32 Naga. On August 15, 2011, it started its initial broadcast carrying The Game Channel.[5] However, on December 24, The Game Channel limited its broadcast every morning and afternoon, to give way to its new sister network station CHASE, which is used its evening block.
CHASE Channel
In the later part of February, while CHASE started its programming on night, there is an investigator notebook that appear on the lower-left of the TV screen saying that CHASE goes 24. After that event, on February 15, 2012, after its 7 months of broadcasting on BEAM Channel 32 Naga, The Game Channel bid-goodbye to the viewers and move its operations on Global Destiny Cable(which currently aired on Channel 89 in Metro Manila), while CHASE remained on this channel and took its 24 hour permanent broadcast. Recently it ended its operation on October 19, 2012.
Jack City
On September 7, 2012, when they aired 24 on CHASE, an animation signage plugged and written like this: "Another Jack TV is rising, coming soon on this channel". This was the part of Solar TV Network, Inc. plans to use this channel assignment to air the said network. The network is planned and it was launched as the secondary Jack TV network named Jack CITY on October 20, 2012.[6][7]CHASEended its operation on October 19, 2012, although some of its programs was still carried over by this channel. The full broadcast was initiated on November 11, 2012. The main reason of reformatting/rebranding is due to CHASE which is find out that is too much male-centric
