History
[edit]In April 1993, the joint Lithuanian-US company "Baltijos televizija" was established; its main shareholder was the US company "American Equitable Finance Corporation", led by Kęstutis Makaitis, and the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania became the smaller shareholder.[1] In the same year, Baltijos Televizija, founded by the company, started broadcasting. This channel in 1994-1995 shared the same UHF channel (38) as TV Polonia. It was also rebroadcast on TELE-3.[2] In 1996 the channel began to expand its network of correspondents when the Kupiškis studio was established.[3] In the 1996-1998 period it used to rebroadcast BBC and CNN programs for most of its output.[4]
On May 30, 2002, the channel was shut down when its frequencies were taken by TV4,[5] but two years later, it was relaunched on September 17, 2004.
In 2018–19, the corporate identity was changed.
