History

In 2017, TV3 Group (then known as All Media Baltics) was established, belonging to the telecommunications company Bitė Group, managed by Providence Equity, a US private equity fund.[2]

On 18 October 2017, Bitė Group acquired all the shares of the Estonian company Viasat, TV3 Group, which manages the television channels TV3, TV6, TV8, as well also the radio station Power Hit Radio, and other brands in the Baltic countries from the Swedish media concern Modern Times Group (MTG). MTG Baltics branch became "All Media Baltics".[3][4][5]

In December 2019, All Media Baltics changed its name to TV3 Group and the managed internet television and movie, series rental platform "Go3".[6] The brand image of "TV3" television and other groups was also updated. Home3 (formerly Viasat) became the platform for satellite television services. In 2020, LNT channel was discontinued in Latvia. It was replaced by TV3 Life. Also channel Kanāls 2 was discontinued in Latvia and it was replaced by TV3 Mini.[7]

On 8 August 2023, TV3 Group has rebranded its premium film and sports TV channels “TV3 Film” and “TV3 Sport” to “Go3 Films” and “Go3 Sport” and updated their visual graphics.[8]
