Natseven TV Sdn Bhd, better known as NTV7, is a free-to-air terrestrial television channel in Malaysia based in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. It began broadcasting nationwide on 7 April 1998. The station, which broadcasts on the UHF frequency band, offers a combination of English, Chinese and Malay programmes, produced locally as well as some from overseas.

NTV7 is also available over all Malaysian digital broadcasting platforms on Channel 107.

Starting 5 March 2018, Media Prima Television Networks (MPTN) has unveiled a new brand positioning for NTV7. The popular urban station will now target “modern Malaysia” through its new content line-up. At the same time, almost all Chinese content on this channel will be stopped broadcasting or fully move to 8TV with exception for TVB dramas and Chinese news. [6][7][8][9][10]

In 2005, Media Prima Berhad announced its acquisition of ntv7 under a price of RM90 million. Media Prima also owns three other private television stations in Malaysia: TV3, 8TV & TV9, as well as a controlling stake in the New Straits Times, owned by New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.

Programming

The station, which targets the Malaysian urban demographic, offers a wide variety of programming including drama, comedy, entertainment, game shows, children's programmes, anime, documentaries and movies. There are also news bulletins in English, Mandarin and Malay.

Since 1 April 2016, A teleshopping block brought by the Korean conglomerate CJ Group called CJ WOW Shop has been broadcast across Media Prima channels. Some Media Prima channels (especially NTV7 and TV9) are more affected by the changes. However, this block has attract huge criticism on social media as a large part of daytime schedule has been replaced by CJ Wow Shop, which these slots had been previously running mostly reruns, religious programming and kids programming.[11][12][13][14]
