History

The channel traces back to the merger between LNT and TV3, approved on 9 January 2012, where both channels would continue operating their separate news units. Seven years later, on 7 November 2019, All Media Baltics announced the shutdown of LNT, being replaced by a new channel, part of a larger plan to unite all channels under the TV3 brand. [1]

On 24 January 2020, it was announced Latvian regulator that NEPLP approved the conversion of LNT into TV3 Life, effective 1 March. The new plan involved the reduction in the amount of generalist television networks into niche channels would reduce the level of competition. [2]

Among the launch titles were Latvian series Viņas melo labāk and miniseries Viņš. Robertiņš . [3]

In Estonia

The Estonian version of the channel was announced in late January 2022 and started broadcasting on 1 March 2022, replacing the Russian-language 3+ channel. Most of the content was acquired, while original programming was kept at a minimum due to high costs. [4] The new channel refrained from airing Novosti Tallinna (Новости Таллинна), which had 260,000 viewers on 3+ Estonia, instead moving it to three channels — Duo 7 (a Russian-language channel from Postimees Group), 1+2 and TVN.
