==History== LTV made its first test broadcasts on 6 November 1954 from a studio in Soviet Riga in black-and-white, which were seen by the 20 owners of personal television sets. This made LTV the first and oldest national television station in the Baltics. Regular broadcasting started on 20 November 1954. Initially, LTV did not have rights to create programming, except live shows. In 1955, the Riga Television studio in Nometņu iela, Āgenskalns was created to produce programming and the first TV tower in Latvia was built. As of 1960, LTV aired 1,300 hours a year. The channel aired news bulletins every day except on Sundays, while its broadcasts were praised for their sophistication.
