[edit] History

TVB was formed in February 2004 by Park Television and applied for Borders franchise, temporary served by Frontier Television. Later on, there was a bid from dMGw Worldwide. The companies decided to split broadcasting time, thus making TVB a weekday broadcaster.

In early 2005, TVSolway bid from dMGw Worldwide was accepted, but the Border region was hit by floods which ruined TVSolway's studios. TVB became a temporary franchise. Later on, dMGw decided to give the broadcast rights to TVB.

In 2005, TVB had made a bid in 6-Net franchise round, but it was unaccepted. Thus, there was estabilished a generic 6-Net service.

In 2006, the newly-formed CoastPark plc had reached a deal with Emoa to purchase the broadcasing rights. Thus, TVB returned to the Border region.
