Earlier History

edit

TNN was founded as IBC 3 on 17 May 1989. It was one of the first seven channels broadcasting on IBC satellite television platform on channel 1.

Later, on 1 November 1997, IBC 3 rebranded to IBC News and reformed its format to present news only.

On 1 July 1998, after IBC reached an agreement to merge with the UTV Cable Network and formed UBC, IBC News rebranded to UBC News and continue to broadcast on UBC channel 7. On 1 September 2003, UBC News got a new look, add a new image to consider as a news channel, consistent with the change of the UBC logo.

In 2006, the channel rebranded to UBC News 24, later known as True News 24 as the network was rebranding to TrueVisions in 2007.

TNN

edit

In 2008, True News 24 rebranded to TNN and split into two channels. TNN24 became a 24-hour news channel and TNN2 now broadcasts in-depth news and documentaries.[1]

TNN24 officially launched on 9 September 2008 on TrueVisions channel 7. The following year, on 9 September 2009, its website was launched.

On 1 January 2010, TNN launched its radio station TNN Radio (Thai: ทีเอ็นเอ็น เรดิโอ), broadcast on the Royal Thai Army Radio Station JS 2, Department of Military Communications FM 103.0 MHz, bringing live news programming from TNN24 into a radio format parallel to the television broadcast. It ceased broadcasting in 2011.

In 2010, TNN24 launched its free-to-air service on Thaicom 5 both Ku band and C band and also launch its channel on other subscription television provider, PSI and DTV.

Thai News Network (TNN) Co., Ltd. was established on 17 August 2011 to become the subsidiary of TrueVisions and serves as the owner of the channel.

On 1 March 2012, TNN24 started to air its high-definition channel on TrueVisions cable TV service on channel 124 and expanded to broadcast on satellite service after that.

In April 2014, TNN24 began broadcasting on digital terrestrial television on channel 16 after it was awarded a digital TV license in December 2013.[2]

The channel has the same channel number on every platform due to the Must-carry rule provided by National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) but was still broadcast on TrueVisions channel 7 until the NBTC made an order to force TrueVisions to move the channel to number 16 in 2016.[3]

In February 2019, TNN24 rebranded to TNN16, but still broadcast on TrueVisions in HD, Channel 117 and 777 as before. It aims to be the number 1 digital TV business news channel in Thailand and began to merge with some of True4U's news team. Then on 18 November, the same year, expanded the studio for filming more news programs on True Tower 2, Pattanakarn Road, which used alongside its original studio at Tipco Tower, Rama 6 Road, which is currently in use and from 2 January 2020, the channel started its additional channels simulcast on True4U (similar to Sky TG24 simulcast on Cielo in Italy and Now News Channel simulcast on Viu TV in Hong Kong.)

On 11 April 2023, TNN16 moved its studios on some of its programs including TNN Pradern Yai, TNN World Today and TNN Tech Reports, to True Digital Park, Sukhumvit Road, replacing the original studios used in True Tower 2, Phatthanakan Road. However, the office and studios at True Tower 2, Pattanakarn Road, and Tipco Tower 2, Rama 6 Road, was still used until 15 April and 7 May, respectively, when it fully moved its office and studios to True Digital Park on 16 April for the main studio (Studio 1) and 8 May for the second studio (Studio 2 Glass House), respectively. However, the second studio (Studio 2 Glass House) was first used on 3 May for the 2nd TNN Thai Election 2023 Debate special program and on 6 May for the special event dedicated to the coronation of King Charles III, respectively.
