NBT 2HD
NBT 2HD, formerly TVT11, is the television division and free-to-air channel of NBT.
NBT operated TV stations outside of Bangkok before launching there in 1985. It initiated its plan in 1962 in order to serve the regions.[5] In 1966, the British Pye company won a technical supply contract for a station in Songkhla in the country's south[6] while in 1977, its station in Khonkaen was damaged in a fire.[7] Its station in Phuket was broadcasting in black and white as late as the early 1980s, when Channel 7 set up a station there.[8]
In 1985, TVT started broadcasting in Bangkok, using a loan from the Japanese government's JICA.[5] TVT11's broadcast on 11 July 1988, when TV9 (currently known as Modernine TV) split into two channels. It was first aimed at viewers in the countryside. Some elements such as sex and violence are censored as NBT is one of the government departments under direct control.
NBTTV is also available over the TrueVisions direct broadcast satellite platform on channel 5. Since 2014, when the logical channel numbers were given for the digital terrestrial platform, it has been broadcasting on channel 2.
On 1 April 2008, the television channel began to broadcast 24 hours a day, offering more programs for viewers who stay up late to watch.[9]
On 1 April 2008, TVT11 television stations were once again restructured by Dr. Mun Pattanothai, the then Information Minister and renamed NBTTV.
Educational television programs were aired through this channel from 1988 to 1999, alternating with TV9 in the afternoon until 1994, when it aired in the morning. Daytime programming on TV9 started on 1 March 1994, causing ETV to be broadcast only on TV11.
NBTTV and the radio stations under the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand broadcast from their headquarters in Din Daeng, Bangkok.
During the analog era, it broadcast on VHF band III, although in some parts of Thailand, it transmits the signal on UHF where it is normally tuned to band 2. In the Bangkok Metropolitan Area, the VHF channel for TV11 is 11, with weaker transmission on channel 10 in certain parts of the Bangkok Metropolitan Area. It is also available over the NBTi DVB-T test transmission over a frequency of 658 MHz, SID 2. As of 1 January 2007, it is also available over a test DMB-T/H transmission on Band III.
