After getting in the control of Florin Călinescu, the television station had gone on a decline.[2] Soon after, most of its movies were transferred to other stations, Tele7 remaining only with religious B rated movies and similar shows.
In 2005, the station temporarily closed its gates with the message that the workers were not paid in months, and they had neither any adequate sanitary facilities. Soon after, the station closed down for good.
Currently the TV station is owned by Cristian Ambrozie through Tele7 Audio Video Production. It also benefits from a registered trademark certificate (OSIM) No. 176125.
