WTCV is a religious television station in San Juan, Puerto Rico, owned and operated by the Daystar Television Network. Through a channel sharing agreement with independent station WJPX, the two stations share transmitter facilities at Barrio Cubuy in Canovanas.
WTCV operates two satellite stations: WVEO in Aguadilla, with transmitter on Cerro Canto Gallo in Aguada, and WVOZ-TV in Ponce, with transmitter on Sec Servo Paso in Peñuelas.

History

During the 1980s and early 1990s, WTCV was known as WSJU and was an NBC affiliate, one of three commercial English-language network affiliates broadcasting in Puerto Rico during the 80s. Around 1990, the station also carried the Home Shopping Network programming during most of the late morning and afternoon. There are now four commercial English-language network affiliates in Puerto Rico, all of which broadcast from San Juan and Mayagüez.
On September 11, 2014, WTCV became a Mega TV owned-and-operated station, following the sale of Spanish Broadcasting System through its License Management Agreement for $1.9 million, leaving its status as an Independent station, while its former owner, International Broadcasting Corporation continues to be its Licensee, until SBS will transfer WIOA, WIOC and WZET to IBC's TV operations. Beginning in March 2015, WTCV's local programming will be produced by SBS Puerto Rico, which owns Z-93, La Nueva 94, Estereotempo and La Mega. The sale of WTCV with SBS was completed on September 1, 2015.
On January 12, 2018, WTCV announced that Conectao's por la Cocina, ¿Y Cual es su Opinion? and Descarao por la Noche had been canceled due to economic loss, as well as expiring contracts with local talent and production staff.
On September 24, 2019, WTCV and its satellite stations switched their virtual channel to 18.1 across all Puerto Rico.
On June 5, 2025, SBS announced the sale of WTCV and its satellites to the Daystar Television Network for $6.5 million; the sale was completed on August 18.
