Alfa TV (Macedonian: Алфа ТВ) is a privately owned TV station in North Macedonia. Its headquarters is in Skopje, and the program director until 2018 was Ljubomir Nikolovski.[1] Since 2018, the director is Vasko Eftov.[2] Then he was relieved and the new director was Jani Bojadzi

The station is considered to be supportive of former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski of the VMRO-DPMNE party and to be majority-owned by Peter Schatz, a Hungarian media tycoon closely allied with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The station and the Schatz-owned web portal Ripostmk.com are currently under investigation by Macedonian authorities due to running expensive ads worth €3.2 million for small Hungarian companies linked to Schatz and to have used the money to push support for Gruevski in 2017, while disproportionally undermining the government of Zoran Zaev.[3]

Alfa TV has also received criticism from the civic fact-checking organization F2N2 for promoting misinformation concerning foreign investment and Russian influence in the country.[4][3]
