History
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. Later, in late 1997, it was revealed that the new channel would be called Telenet and would be launching in the following year. Telenet officially launched on 27th April, 1998 at 7:00a.m.

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 focused on news and sports, and Vision One, which mostly focused on entertainment and comedy.
