TTV Finance Channel
TTV Finance (pinyin: Táishì Cáijīng Tái) is a digital television channel operated by Taiwan Television (TTV) in Taiwan, launched on September 1, 2004. Now TTV Finance shares channel with TTV Family.
TV was formerly called Taiwan Radio (TR, then TWR) in 1962, then TTV and Taiwan Day Television and Taiwan Night Television (TTV) in 1990, when China Television (CTV) was launched.
The station became home to many trailblazing and innovative shows at the time. Recently, the station enjoyed a resurgence in viewership when it inked a major contract with Sanlih E-Television to promote and air the latter's shows. TTV's pop idol dramas consistently rated high, although it sometimes went down or up depending on the storyline and the stars' appeal on these dramas.
Under current media reform laws, TTV is being tapped for full privatization. However the divestment of government shares in the station is being put on hold and placed under investigation at the moment due to irregularities in its transaction.
