The channel was founded on 6 August 2015 by the Libyan Women's rights activist Huda El-Sarari and her husband Mujahid Bosifi, a former anti-Gaddafi activist who lived in the Netherlands.
In late 2017, sister channel 218 News was launched.
218TV was said to be the most popular in Libya in 2019 when Huda El-Sarari was recognised for her influence in the Arab world in 2019 by "Arabian Business" magazine.[3]
