history

Regional television in the Koblenz agglomeration was founded in 1991 under the name "Kanal 10". In November 2000, the three regional television stations in northern Rhineland-Palatinate, i.e. Kanal 10, WWTV and MYK-TV, merged to form the new station TVT1. Together they reached 800,000 spectators.

However, the merger did not bring the expected benefits and the new station ran into financial difficulties, among other things because of the lack of acceptance of the new station by viewers. MYK-TV left the network in 2001 after just one year. In 2003 the decision was made to go separate ways again and to broadcast alone in the respective region. The final economic collapse for Kanal 10 came in 2005, combined with the withdrawal of the broadcasting license by the responsible authority LMK in Ludwigshafen.

TV Mittelrhein is the start-up of a television station for the region. After moving into the editorial office and technical rooms at Klostergut Besselich in Urbar near Koblenz and the formation of the program advisory board with personalities from the region, TV Mittelrhein was granted official approval as a media company in spring 2006. In autumn 2006, following a public tender, the broadcast license for the Middle Rhine region was issued. The broadcasting area of ​​MYK-TV from Mayen was taken over by TV Mittelrhein after its discontinuation on December 31, 2006.

TV Mittelrhein took a stake in WWTV in February 2008 . Both channels merged to form a broadcasting community under the TVM / WWTV Production and License GmbH founded on February 1, 2013.

The broadcasters TV Mittelrhein and WWTV have been operating under the umbrella of DRF Deutschland Fernsehen Produktions GmbH & Co. KG since 2015.
