Background

The appointment-based concept is also new to the Malaysian broadcasting industry, where factors, such as who watches what and when, define when a programme is slotted in the Television schedule. The Station, which broadcasts on the UHF frequency band offers a combination of Malaysian, English and Chinese programmes, produced locally as well as some from overseas.

Offering a wide variety of programming, ntv7's line-up includes dramas sinetron, situational comedies (sitcoms), entertainment programmes, game shows, children programmes, anime, and movies. In addition, there are also the station's news bulletins in English, Mandarin and Cantonese which aim to be independent and relevant at all times.

Introduced on 11 February 2006, Media Prima Berhad announced its acquisition of NTV7. Media Prima also owns 3 other private television stations in Malaysia has : TV3, 8TV & TV9 as well as a controlling stake in New Straits Times owner by New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and it was listed on the main board of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE).
