History

Prior to the launch of the channel, New Brunswick legislative proceedings began broadcasting on television in 1988 via Fundy Cable Inc.'s community-access cable channel. The channel broadcast approximately two hours of taped coverage of the day's proceedings; while live broadcasting began in 1989. In the 1990s, live coverage was expanded to include almost the entire sitting day. [1]

In 2005, a Committee of the Legislative Assembly was established and concluded to launch a dedicated channel to broadcast the legislative proceedings in their entirety. The channel launched on March 28, 2006 with its first day of coverage. [1]
