TV3 Latvia (Latvian: TV3 Latvija) is a Latvian commercial television channel targeted at a Latvian language audience owned by All Media Baltics, a company owned by investment firm Providence Equity Partners.[1] TV3 was launched in 1998, but did not receive a terrestrial license until 2001. The channel has since increased its viewing share to become the most popular channel in Latvia as of September 2007, surpassing its then-closest rival LNT.[2]
Acquired programming on TV3 include CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Bones, Castle, Lie to Me, and several other shows. The channel also features many Latvian programmes, including the news programme TV3 Ziņas ('TV3 News'), investigative news programme Nekā personīga ('Nothing Personal') [3] and TV series UgunsGrēks, Svešā seja, and Viņas melo labāk.
The network also has three sister channels: TV3 Life (lifestyle programming), TV3 Mini (children's programming) and TV3 Sport.[4]
