C/S (originally known as Crime/Suspense) was an entertainment channel owned by Solar Entertainment Corporation. It shows mostly American crime and suspense dramas, mysteries, reality, science fiction and action shows. It was the successor to Solar USA, after the latter was replaced by Jack TV. C/S is shown on cable networks throughout the Philippines.

History

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) (which currently broadcasts as RPTV).

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.^{[citation needed]}

C/S on RPN had its major revamp on October 4, 2008, and later became C/S 9, while C/S on Cable TV remains as C/S Origin.

C/S Origin

The cable TV C/S was relaunched as a new channel called C/S Origin. This channel started airing on September 14, 2008, in Global Destiny Cable.
