Kamalak TV was an Uzbek-American joint venture that provided telecommunication services to citizens and organizations in the Republic of Uzbekistan, using the MMDS system.
History
It was established in 1992 as a joint-venture between Metromedia's subsidiary Metromedia International, by means of its subsidiary International Telcell Inc. and the National Television and Radio Company of Uzbekistan. As of 2000, Kamalak-TV was more expensive than the cable system installed by Republican Cable TV. KTV started with television services. The American side supplied the joint venture with the then-fashionable latest MMDS equipment available. Initially, Kamalak TV was limited to foreign diplomats and tourists; when it was discovered that the potential was narrow, broadcasts of certain channels ceased on 6 February 1996, opting to sign contracts with ORT, RTR and TV-6.
In 1993, KTV provided 8 channels; by 2002, the number rose to 20, with content in Uzbek, Russian, English, German, French, Korean, etc. on 28 channels. As of 2002, KTV claimed 30,000 subscribers.
Kamalak TV announced in July 2010 that it would cease operations on 1 September 2010, being replaced by UzDigital TV. The cause of its shutdown was the digitization process in Uzbekistan.
