History

The channel started broadcasting in 1999 in analog format, but moved entirely to digital in 2001. [2] In June 2007, the channel was added to Hotbird 8, but was removed in February 2010. [3]

On 1 December 2012, due to budget cuts, RTCG opted to close TVCG Sat's broadcasts on the Eutelsat 16A satellite due to lack of payments. Its signal was restored on 19 December. [4]

On 20 October 2018, the channel ceased transmission on the Telekom Srbija transponder on Astra 3B, limiting its carriage exclusively to Eutelsat 16A. [5] On 1 January 2020, the SD signal was switched off, leaving the channel exclusively in HD. [6]

On 21 September 2022, the channel changed its named to TVCG MNE. The aim is that, with the name MNE (derived from Montenegro), viewers can easily identify its source country. [7]
