Founded in 1994, CTI TV was originally called the Chinese Television Network (Chinese: 傳訊電視). CTN had two main channels, Chung T'ien (Chinese: 中天) and Ta Ti (Chinese: 大地). On January 30, 1997, ownership switched from Yu Pun Hoi, the current chairman of Nan Hai Corporation Limited (南海控股有限公司), to the He Hsin Corporation (和信企業團). In 2000, ownership changed once again from He Hsin to the Hsiang Shan Corporation (象山集團), which, at the time, also operated China Television. Hsiang Shan merged CTN with CTV Satellite to form Power TV (Chinese: 勁道數位電視). As part of Power TV, CTV Satellite became Chung T'ien Entertainment, while CTN's Chung T'ien split up into Chung T'ien News and Power News. Power News eventually changed its name to Chung T'ien Information, which then became Chung T'ien Main in January 2004. After the He Hsin-Hsiang Shan ownership transfer, Ta Ti was granted some degree of autonomy as Ta Ti Television; however, Ta Ti eventually became part of Videoland Television Network, and changed its name to the Videoland Drama Channel. In June 2002, ownership of Power TV changed once again from Hsiang Shan to the China Times; Power TV changed its name to present-day Chung T'ien Television (CTI TV).
