'''Taiwan Television Enterprise, Ltd.''' ({{zh|t=臺灣電視公司|p=Táiwān Diànshì Gōngsī|poj=Tâi-ôan-tiān-sī-kong-si}}), commonly known as '''TTV''' and formerly known as '''Central Television''' and '''Voice of Taiwan''', is the first terrestrial television station in [[Taiwan]]. It was established on April 28, 1962, and started formally broadcasting later that year on October 10, 1962.


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.

Since the beginning of TTV in 1962, the earliest known was a simple TV logo with the letters "TTV" in it; with the two Ts striking with a thunderbolt and a small V on a blue-green-red background. It was used until 1990 when it was replaced by a circular disk with an angular triangle inside the logo forming a satellite dish. The 1990 logo was used until recently in July 2008 when the present logo was revised with the same design but the triangle itself moves upward.
