NBT operated TV stations outside of Bangkok before launching there in 1985. It initiated its plan in 1962 in order to serve the regions.[5] In 1966, the British Pye company won a technical supply contract for a station in Songhkla in the country's south[6] while in 1977, its station in Khonkaen was damaged in a fire.[7] Its station in Phuket was broadcasting in black and white as late as the early 1980s, whenChannel 7 set up a station there.[8]
In 1985, TVT started broadcasts in Bangkok, using a loan from the Japanese government'sJICA.[5] TVT11's broadcast started on 11 July 1988, when TV9 (currently known asModernine TV) split into two channels. It was firstly aimed at viewers in the countryside. Some elements such assex andviolence are censored as NBT is one of the government departments under direct control.
NBTTV is also available over theTrueVisionsdirect broadcast satellite platform on channel 5. Presently,[when?] it is broadcasting on channel 2.
On 1 April 2008, the television channel began to broadcast 24 hours a day, offering more programs for viewers who stay up late to watch television.[9]
On 1 April 2008, TVT11 television stations were once again restructured by Dr. Mun Pattanothai, the then Information Minister and renamed NBTTV.
Educational television programs were aired through this channel from 1988 to 1999, alternating with TV9 in the afternoon until 1994, when it aired in the morning. Daytime programming on TV9 started on 1 March 1994 has caused ETV to be broadcast only on TV11.[clarification needed]
