The channel's owner Extra Terrestrial Vision (Private) Limited, who had been incorporated on 6 July 1992, changed its name to EAP Network (Private) Limited on 30 April 1996 following the acquisition by EAP.[1] At that time ETV 1 was re-broadcasting BBC.[2] ETV 1 was re-launched as Swarnavahini, a mass market Sinhala language channel, on 16 March 1997.[2][3] EAP Network (Private) Limited changed its name to EAP Broadcasting Company (Private) Limited on 16 May 2012, EAP Network (Private) Limited on 31 October 2012, EAP Network Limited on 28 August 2013 and EAP Broadcasting Company Limited on 11 September 2013.[1]

It is available via satellite on Dialog TV (channel 7) and Dish TV (channel 2516).[4][5][6] It is also available on Lanka Broadband Networks cable TV and PEO TV IPTV (channel 6).[7][8]
