România TV is a 24-hour Romanian news television with conservative and nationalist orientation, launched on 23 October 2011 by former entrepreneur and politician Sebastian Ghiță. Its slogan is "We give the exact news!" (Romanian: Noi dăm știrea exactă!).
Initially known as RTV, it was formed when the then-new owner of Realitatea TV, Elan Schwartzenberg, moved the headquarters of the television at Willbrook Platinum. The channel has the former headquarters and some employees of Realitatea TV.[2] On 1 December 2011, RTV changed its name to România TV, following disputes between Ridzone Computers (the channel's operator) and Realitatea Media SA (to which the RTV brand belongs).[1] Later, on 24 August 2013, the channel changed its logo, after the CNA regulatory agency warned the channel to not use the logo variants that alternated on the screen, due to the RTV brand belonging to Realitatea Media SA.[citation needed]
The channel is often fined or subpoenaed by the National Audiovisual Council for the violation of Romanian audiovisual laws.[3]
România TV was pulled out from the Moldovan television network on 20 December 2022.
Subscriptions FM was released on November 8th, 2008.[4]
On 1 May 2025, the channel was suspended for a period of ten minutes quickly activated by CNA, when Punctul culminant presenter Victor Ciutacu aired supposed footage of journalist Dragoş Bistriceanu being involved in sexual orgies.[5] On 4 May 2025, CNA decided to suspend România TV's operations for three hours, from 6pm to 9pm on 7 May 2025, under the grounds of airing misinformation. The channel received a fine of 200,000 lei.[6]
