History[edit | edit source]
TVGS was likely interested in the start of a news channel as early as 1992, when it bid for a network of UHF television stations carrying encrypted programming, one of the channels being a news channel. In October 1992, with the launch of TV3, TVGS gave up on the project, and the requested frequencies were handed over to Showtime.
The 2004 restructuring of TVGS enabled the creation of a digital-ready corporation, one of the plans involved was the creation of a news channel, exclusive to digital terrestrial television and subscription platforms.
