On March 2019, it acquired Northern Star's film division and renamed it as Television Place Films.

On June 1, 2019, their channels were shut down for a day after the EG Network's rebrand, due to the studio's power outage due to a blackout of Illinois area.

On November 19, 2019, the company was changed again (first seen on October 1, 2018) into a subsidiary company of Perfect Story Media.

On April 23, 2022, Country Television System Inc. was co-acquired by Catalin Media Group after Cătălin Simion joined the crew and will rename into Ignition Networks starting May 23.

On mid-2022, it was decided that the third linear channel will launch which is replacing the online channel Ignition Education. The channel was originally scheduled to launch in 2023, due to its low budgets to run its channels.

On January 2, 2023, Ignition One and Two changed the idents and similar to 's 2022 idents. Newer promos will be voice-acted like Super Star Comedy and NTV Comedy continuities starting on January 28 after Cata's voice was revealed on the same date and Minako's voice was revealed in 2019.

On April 11, 2023, Minako Arisato left Ignition Networks for one month in order to go to Florida. Its founder Mirai Asahina returned as a temporary CEO.

On December 9, 2023, Michael Arnold announced that Ignition Networks will be closed down on December 11, 2023 due to Minako and Catalin breaking up on the same date, as well as the relaunch of both Northern American Channel and Ultra channels, along with some online channels and services.
