History
Launched on 25 January 1958, as HSA-TV[1] Channel 7 this television station transitioned from broadcasting in black-and-white to a colour television as Channel 5 in 1974. The Army set up the station in an attempt to destabilize the ruling Phibul government.[2] Channel 5 is the second oldest television station in Thailand, owned and operated by the Royal Thai Army, and as such features, among others, programming devoted to the Royal Thai Armed Forces.
Channel 5 completely ceased its analog broadcast on 21 June 2018 at 9:30am[3] as part of its digital switchover. It was initially scheduled for 16 June[4] but was supposed to be postponed to the end of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[5]
On 25 November 2021, Channel 5 moved its LCN from 1 to 5.[6]
