NTV Holdings Inc.

NTV Holdings Inc. was made in 1974 as a unity/media company for the TV channel NTV, secondary TV channel NTV Alpha (now NTV Beta) and lifestyle channel NTV 2.

History
In 1975, Norsk TV 2 and Nordic Alpha launched in January 3 and March 13 respectively. That meant there were too many of these independent channels as they already have Norsk TV together with the NRK1 channel unrelated to NTV but there were too many of these channels that are independent. Norsk TV CEO from 1971-1983 Lahal Gyromes founded the NTU as a special union between the 3 channels.

In 1979, Lahal stated that a union without a name is boring. So they called out a raffle in the streets to submit a paper with a media name. One of them was the "Nordic Television Union".
