Television in the Loso Republic

Television in the Loso Republic was introduced in 1964 as a state-run service. Attempts at private television for the masses like ITN were quickly nationalized. These days, the Loso television industry seems to be at a really low standard.

History

1960s

The first two television licenses were given to the government and the Nashlandian settlements, who had not left the Loso territory until 1979, and were getting increasingly reduced. There was going to be one condition: the Loso government service would go on air first and the Nashlandian-run service would go on air in Ching Phws as well, and that editorial control would be shared with the LTBA.

Following a compromise with the then-new Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (the Loso Republic was a part of the former Ceylon Empire) and the Orience Electric Company (who provided basic functions for nascent Sondrian television channels in poor countries), the government service of the Loso Television Broadcasting Authority went on air on February 15, 1964 on channel 7. The Nashlandian service, improvisingly known as TV2 Loso, went on air in April on channel 9.

1970s

In 1979, Nashland relinquished control of the settlements and the whole LR territory was controlled by the sovereign country. A fourth television channel, ITN, went on air in April but was nationalized in June.

2010s

The 2010s had led to the launch of Loso Telecom's satellite television platform. Loso Telecom started producing shows in 2013, stealing talent from the state-run channels.
