Telenet (TV channel)

Telenet is a Kuboian free-to-air television channel. It was launched on 27th April 1998 as the fourth and final national terrestrial channel in the country, as well as the third to be in the English language. The channel is owned by Channel 3 Broadcasting Ltd. and Telesketch Media, and broadcasts a wide-range of content, including lifestyle programmes, documentaries, current affairs and some game shows.

A third English-language national terrestrial television channel in Kuboia had been in the cards since the early 1990s, and had been announced as early as 1995, initially under the name Channel 3. Its name was changed to Telenet shortly before its luanch.

Programming
Telenet broadcasts a wide range of different programmes, including documentaries, music, current affairs, dramas, game shows and also some educational programming. A lot of the channel's programming is self-produced and/or commissioned by its parent company Telesketch Media. In addition, it also airs a limited selection of international programming.

Upon its conception, Telenet was commissioned as providing more highbrow, cultured and "sophisticated" programming compared to KBG, which mostly focuses on news and sports, and Vision One, which mostly focuses on entertainment.

Documentaries
As part of a license it holds, Telenet is expected to commission at least ten new documentaries each year. Said documentaries feature a variety of topics including nature, history, science, culture and the environment.

Dramas
Telenet has commissioned many lighter-hearted dramas throughout its run.

Game shows
Telenet has also commissioned several game shows since its inception, though these generally have lower jackpots compared to game shows aired on Vision One and also often feature non-monetary prizes.

Since July 2007, the channel has aired its own dubbed version of Ninja Warrior.
