History

Channel 7 officially launched broadcasts in

Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn. The first programme to air was the 1967 Miss Thailand Pageant. Channel 7 was known back then as "Bangkok Colour Television Network", with callsign HSB-TV,^[1] airing on Channel 5 and was the country's first colour television station using PAL colour. On 1 January 1972, it started broadcasting nationwide.^[2]^[3] In 1974 it switched frequencies to VHF Channel 7, swapping with Royal Thai Army Television

.

A regional station opened in

Phuket on 9 October 1980. Up until then Phuket only had one television station, an MCOT/PRD station on channel 11.^[4]

Channel 7 launched its high-definition television feed on 25 April 2014 on its digital terrestrial television system (DTT) on channel 35. Three years later, on 19 June 2017, Channel 7 was given authorisation from the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission to shut down its analogue frequencies in the rest of the country, in order to replace them with its digital channels on DTT. Thus, the network was expected to stop broadcasting on analogue 1 January 2018, but the process was postponed to 16 May 2018 and eventually completed on 16 June.

In July 2020, the Election Commission requested Channel 7 cease broadcast of the television drama series 'Love Song of the Gun Crack' over one of the actors, Krungsrivilai Sutin Phueak, stepping forward as a candidate for a Minister of Parliament for Samut Prakan's 5th District. The series was then suspended from 30 July to 9 August.^[5]
