JKN18 (Thai: เจเคเอ็น 18) is a Thai digital terrestrial television channel operated by JKN Best Life Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of JKN Global Group.

Formerly known as Daily News TV (Thai: เดลินิวส์ทีวี), it is a satellite television station affiliated with the Daily News newspaper before changing the name to New TV (Thai: นิวทีวี) and New 18 (Thai: นิว 18) after transitioning to digital TV and focus on presenting various documentaries, especially the Samrujlok documentaries by Next Step Co., Ltd., and news programs from Daily News. But since 8 March 2021, JKN has taken control of the 24-hour broadcast and the news programs that were originally broadcast have been moved to all online platforms and on 9 April, JKN has acquired New 18, then revised the channel's program schedule. Before it was starting to aired its programming in a new schedule on 5 May and changing the name of the station to JKN18 on 26 May.

On September 9, 2023, there was news that TOP News had negotiated with Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip, Chief Executive Officer and President of JKN Global Group to acquire JKN18, which is the same television station that used to have a rumor that a group of TOP News personnel will move to work at the end of 2020 by acquiring the business for a value of approximately 500,000,000 baht, which if successful will be called TOP News 18 [22] But Jakkaphong denied through a notification to the Stock Exchange of Thailand on September 11 that it was only an agreement to produce joint news programs between JKN18 and TOP News, in which that TOP News programs will be appeared on JKN18, replacing the main news programs that self-produced by the channel itself, starting on September 18 of that year. TOP News will also ceased broadcasting on cable and satellite on September 30, 2023 to pave way for the full transition of the channel into the digital TV era, which will be broadcast its news programs on JKN18 only. [23]

After the process was completed, TOP News announced that it would end its satellite broadcasting and would move to broadcast on digital TV channel 18 under the new name JKN18 by TOP News from 18 September onwards and JKN18 has announced the dissolve of the former news staff including all JKN-CNBC news departments in order to clear the time slot for TOP News, while broadcasting via cable and satellite TV, which is TOP News' original channel, the boadcasting will continue as normal. But it will be a parallel broadcast from JKN18 only, and in some programs which are originally under the copyright of JKN, there will be no broadcasting on the cable and satellite channel. During its aforementioned time, the station will open an informercial program instead.
