Nova TV is a Croatian free-to-air television network launched on 28 May 2000. It was the first commercial television network with national concession in the country and from 2004 until 2018 it was fully owned by the Central European Media Enterprises. In 2018, Direct Media purchased Nova TV and Doma TV.
Nova TV is, along with HRT and RTL, one of the three Croatian television channels that air the largest amount of original programming in Croatia. The channel has its own everyday news programming, as well as various scripted television series. A smaller quantity of original reality and game show series is also aired by the channel. The channel also airs acquired foreign programming, both television series (mostly English or Turkish) and movies.
Currently, Nova TV's programming schedule usually consists of children's programming (mostly acquired animated series) airing in the morning, followed by re-runs of original and acquired television series during the day. The prime time is generally reserved for news and other original programming.
