## History

### NTV

Following the fall of communism in Poland, the 1990s saw the introduction of private television stations in the by then dominated by the public broadcaster PTP television market. Seeing the increasing popularity of private media, ITT Group, the major video cassette distributor and electronics importer, announced its intent to launch its own television network.

#### TV7 Group

***See also:** TV7 Group § History (1995–2004)*
The group was founded in 1995 as TV7 Sp. z o.o. by PKT S.A. consortium, which, in 1994, received a supra-regional TV license and was preparing for the launch of its TV channel. It was launched as *Telewizja Fala* on December 20, 1995. In 1997, TV7 Sp. z o.o. received a supra-regional license in northern Poland and 2 local licenses in central Poland and was re-launched as *TV7* on October 3, 1997. TV7 additionally received a satellite TV license the next year, allowing it to air on Neowizja TV.

In 1998, in partnership with Temp30, ITT Group launched Neowizja (which would be later known as N-Vision and NTV Box), the first Polish DTH satellite platform. As ITT Group was the owner of TV7 Group, TV7 was also included as one of the available channels.

#### NTV - 24

NTV - 24 Sp. z o.o. was founded in 2000 as the broadcaster of *NTV 24*, a planned news TV channel launched as NTV24 in 2001. The NTV TV network grew in size with the launch of NTV Nitro in 2003, NTV Lounge in 2004 and the acquisition of Neowizja Pogoda in 2003, later rebranded as NTV Meteo.

#### NTV Grupa ITT

In 2004, NTV - 24 was absorbed into TV7 Group and the resulting entity was reincorporated as **NTV Grupa ITT**, a publicly traded company. TV7 Group was then closed and its assets were transferred to the newly founded company.

### Temp Polska

Temp began their operations in Poland in 1998 with the launch of ITT Group's Neowizja, which until 2001 exclusively carried the Polish version of Temp Channel.

In 2006, Temp Polska and NTV Grupa ITT formed NTV Temp Polska, the broadcaster of the joint-venture TV channel NTV Temp Historia.

### NTV Grupa Temp

Temp acquired NBN Broadcasting Group in 2007, which owned 33% of shares in NTV Grupa ITT. ITT and Temp decided to merge the operations of Temp Polska into NTV Grupa ITT, which would rebrand to **NTV Grupa Temp** and broadcast local versions of Temp TV channels in Poland.
