TV Klan launched as an Albanian joint-venture, with its first broadcast airing on 25 October 1997.[2] It is the first private TV channel in Albania.[citation needed]
On 1 August 1998, at 7:30 PM (19:30), TV Klan made its first news report ever on its channel.[3] The first chronicle of TV Klan is about the murder of Taulant Buça.[4] In 2002, ISO rated the channel as the most highly rated in Albania with 21.5% of audience share. As of 2006, the channel's analogue signal covered around 60% of Albania's territory.[5]
TV Klan is a media group that includes Klan Plus, Radio Klan, Klan News, Klan Music, ABC News (Albania), Klan Kosova, and North Macedonia-based Klan Macedonia. The channel package is available in Europe through Tring (Pay television) and DigitAlb (Pay television) platforms.
