KTV Ltd. is a pay TV service operating in the Falkland Islands. The cost is £70.00 per month, this seems steep compared to the same service in Argentina (where the signal is being taken from) which costs less than £20.00, but the company needs to make a profit and has full backing from the Falkland Islands Government. The service is offered through cable and satellite dishes and is available in Stanley and most major settlements. KTV was founded in 1982 by Mario Zuvic. KTV receives channels from various S. American broadcasting companies (one being http://www.directv.com.ar in Argentina) and rebroadcasts them to subscribers in the Falkland Islands. KTV cooperates with a number of other small broadcasting companies in other British overseas territories, notably Saint FM in St Helena.
