TV8 (Euro Republics)

TV8 is a Euro Republican news channel owned by EuroMedia.

For some years TV8 timeshared with the History Channel from 4pm-8pm and Bloomberg Television in the mornings and afternoons meaning TV8’s own shows were only broadcast from 9am-4am and 8pm-2am. During the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 Bloomberg was replaced more TV8 news coverage. It continued ever since with Bloomberg programming moving to the downtime hours on C4.

In November 2004, EuroMedia launched their own historical channel, Viasat History. At the same time the programmes from History Channel disappeared from TV8. It was replaced by TV8's own programmes, making it a 24 hour news channel.

TV8 is profiled as a commercial channel with own high quality-programming, about such matters as financial and foreign news. TV8 is also showing several talkshows about domestic politics, usually overnight. Documentaries, mostly from the United Kingdom, were also a part of the prime time schedules at launch.

TV8 is the most watched news channel in the country, with around 11 million viewers. It is the most viewed news channel in the country and is synonimus with good coverage. ETV have tried twice to buy the channel out but have failed. NextRadioTV, owners of the French channel BFM TV, attempted to buy TV8 in 2016, claming to close it down in favour of their own channel, BFM TV. EuroMedia declined and purchased them instead, moving all of it‘s assets to other companies in EuroMedia, closing NRTV down.
