Jonathia Television

Jonathia Television, also known as JTV, was a Jonathian free-to-air commercial television channel. Launched in 1956 as the TCA Television Network, the station had been the TCA's first foray into the Jonathian television market, preceding the TCA Channel by 42 years. However, financial troubles, coupled with fierce competition from rival networks JBC, NBC, and RBA, led to the TCA divesting the channel in 1967. It was soon bought out by a series of investors and renamed Jonathia Television, or JTV.
Despite a rise in viewership around the mid-to-late 1970s, the station began to experience a decline in the 1980s. In 1994, Jonathia Television was bought out by C11 in order to save the network from bankruptcy. Further losses led C11 to make the decision to shutter the network, merging its output into the C11 network. The station eventually closed at 11:59pm on June 30th, 2000. Some of its programs continue to air on C11 and its sister stations.
