TV Munich ( proper spelling tv.münchen or tv.m ) was a local television broadcaster based in Munich-Trudering .

history

The forerunner was TV Weiß-Blau , founded in 1985 , whose program was initially available 24 hours on the Munich / Oberland cable network and as a program window within Sat.1 via the house antenna on channel 59.

On September 1, 1993, metropolitan area television went on terrestrial broadcast 24 hours a day (channel 51). A year later, however, the new competitor "M1 - Fernsehen für München" (MEins) had to cede airtime. MEins was a program of the Münchner Zeitungsverlag and broadcast from Monday to Sunday 7:30 am - 8:00 am, 12:30 pm - 1:25 pm, 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm and Monday to Friday from 10:30 pm - 11:00 pm: 3pm.

From 1997, joint marketing with sister station TV Berlin took place under the slogan "Two channels - two metropolises - one program". The Münchner Zeitungsverlag withdrew from the television business and tv.münchen acquired M1-Fernsehen für München GmbH and its broadcast times on January 1, 2000.

From April 2001 to July 2002 the cover program of Sun-TV was broadcast on TV Munich. Sun-TV was a television channel of the Kirch Group , which distributed its program exclusively via various metropolitan area channels in Germany, so successful formats such as Blondes Gift with Barbara Schöneberger and the WIB swing with Wigald Boning could also be received in Munich. In the course of the insolvency of the Kirch Group, Sun-TV stopped its programs.

In mid-2002 the long-standing main shareholder CH-TV Medien GmbH sold its shares to a European media group.

As of June 30, 2005, the broadcasting license was revoked due to opaque shareholder structures. At the same time, the broadcaster filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. On July 1, 2005, the new channel, Munich TV, went on air and took over the frequencies.
