The UHF frequency (channel 35) started broadcasting experimental signals in 1997, with the proliferation of television stations on the band. In 2000, TCS president Juan Carlos Eserski became involved and decided to create a pilot service consisting of music videos. The channel, still, had no defined profile. The VTV brand was first used in September 2003, when it started regular pilot service. The channel's first director was Charlie Renderos and the bulk of its programming was sourced from two Spanish-speaking television giants,
Univisión and
Venevisión. Unlike the three VHF TCS channels (2, 4 and 6), the channel broadcast on a 24-hour basis and targeted a young adult audience. On September 25, 2017, VTV was renamed TCS+. On August 6, 2021, TCS+ aired an episode of
Ben 10: Omniverse whose Latin Spanish dub was considered lost. The episode was banned by
Cartoon Network in Latin America and Brazil due to stereotyped jokes related to Mexican culture. The banned episode aired on
Canal 5 in Mexico according to eyewitness accounts. On December 15, 2025, without prior warning, TCS+ was renamed SV+ (styled SV+ Plus) and changed its programming to feature only local programming seen on channels 2, 4 and 6. ==References==
