History
On 4:53 PM, January 13, 1952, Televisjór Hvalenska was launched, roughly 4 years after television was made public in Hvalland. The first program was an introduction to the channel which lasted around 2 minutes. Most people weren't interested in Televisjór Hvalenska though until early 1959 when Televisjór Hvalenska started importing programs from El Kadsre, Norway, Germany, etc. Around 1968, part-time color broadcasting started. In 1974, when color broadcastings started, Televisjór Hvalenska became one of the 3 biggest television channels in Hvalland. This was due to shows that most people enjoy and a large majority of people who watched the channel. The total amount of viewers at the time was around 56m people, roughly larger than the population of Åland Islands. Around April 1st, 1978, rebels started attacking the city along with riots starting. This caused the old headquarters to be demolished. The channel also stopped operating until May 28, 1978. A new headquarter was rebuilt after the riots. In March 8, 1988, Erik Karlsson (the current ceo of Kanal 3) launched new idents with in-house CGI. On January 15, 1998, Kanal 3 Extra (Kanal 3+ at the time) was launched. At the same time, Kanal 3 introduced a new graphics package. On February 3, 2003, Kanal 3+ was renamed to Kanal 3 Extra. New graphic idents for Kanal 3 Extra and Kanal 3 were also launched the day. On September 5, 2007, Kanal 3 Extra was split into .tv, Kanal 3 Fakt, Kanal 3 Junior, Kanal 3 Film, Kanal 3 Komedie, Kanal 3 Underhelding and VARA. On November 9, 2015, Kanal 3 announced that they would rename from Kanal 3 to Trír [meaning three]. The logo was originally proposed on September 1, 2015, but later adopted in January 5, 2016. Other areas adopted the logo in January 13, 2016 for the 64th anniversary of Kanal 3. However, most people still refer to it as Kanal 3. On September 7, 2018, Telia Company held a 20% stake on Kanal 3.
