TA3 (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈteː aː ˈtri])[check the stress] is a Slovak private news channel. It started officially broadcasting on 23 September 2001, although its first (special) broadcast was on 11 September 2001 due to the September 11 attacks, which coincided with scheduled testing of the service.[1] The headquarters are located in Bratislava, in the Ružinov borough.
The channel was originally 55-percent owned by Millennium Electronics, a British firm with little media experience.[2] J&T Finance Group acquired this stake in 2002 and became majority owner in 2003.[3]
