Sastava Television

Sastava Television (Hajorian: Sastava Télevisej; Baritoa: Sastava Televisen; Barashan: Saztaw Tenshayam), often known as STV, is a free-to-air terrestrial television channel based in Jokani, Obanacia. It is owned by Sastava National Media, and is sister to Radio Sastava. It was established in 1969, and is one of the largest television channels in Obanacia by viewership and revenue. Sastava Television broadcasts in three languages, making it a class-1 channel.

Early years and prelaunch (1965-1969)
After the introduction of television in 1962, there were several companies demanding to establish a television station. Nayartal saw the establishment of Obanacian Educational Television, and shortly after, DasabCom was officially licensed to establish their own television station, but after several failed attempts, the idea was neglected until the 1980s. As of 1965, around 20 television stations have been granted a license, one of them being Radio Sastava's Sastava Television.

Just before the establishment of Sastava Television, their callsign was assigned as S8KE and their frequency was channel 3. Sastava Media was established in May 1969, as an umbrella of both the radio and television networks. The channel officially commenced broadcasts on June 14, 1969 at night. Sastava Television's launch has attracted hundreds of Obanacians to buy television sets to watch non-educational programming, which the channel specifically provided during primetime hours.

Immediate popularity and competition (1969-1981)
Immediately after launch, Sastava Television became the most popular television channel in Obanacia. Since OET could not air non-educational programming and only came in handy in schools and colleges, Sastava Television was barred from airing any educational programming. However, this did not stop STV from becoming the largest Obanacian television channel by revenue. One of the factors that led to STV's popularity was original programming, consisting mainly of dramas, television movies, and comedy.

In 1970, STV began broadcasting in three schedule segments, 12:00 to 3:00pm in Baritoa, 3:00pm to 6:00pm in Barashan, and 6:00pm to 9:00pm in Hajorian.
