Obanacia Television

Obanacia Television (Hajorian: ), abbreviated to as OTV, is an Obanacian free-to-air terrestrial television channel owned and operated by Idalaqhar Communications. OTV is a class-1 channel, broadcasting in Obanacia's three official languages. OTV also owns two class-2 channels, OTV Hajortua and Onunda Kanal.

It began broadcasting on November 4, 1985 originally as Onunda Television, but it was renamed to its current name in 1991, after it began nationwide broadcasts. OTV was temporarily shut down in 1995 for airing controversial news reports that 'defame' the government, but returned on the air in 1999. OTV is commercially available to 98% of Obanacian households with television.

History
Onunda Wireless Communications, founded in 1960, was one of the original applicants of operating a television station in Obanacia in 1964, two years after the Obanacian Educational Television began telecasts. It officially gained license in June 1965, but the television station ended up not being launched as the OWC focused more on wireless communication in the country, as it was the oldest and only wireless communications company in Obanacia at the time. Although OWC gained the frequencies to broadcast on television, they were mostly used for wireless communication, as establishing a television station in Obanacia was generally considered a hassle at the time.

In 1974, a year before the license was expired, the government seized it from the OWC and the company was charged with fraud for using the license, intended for television broadcasting, for a different purpose. They were also fined 330 million kairoi (55,000 USD at the time) and were banned from registering a license for broadcasting again until 1980. It applied again in April 1982, but the company would eventually become bankrupt on August 21.
