1994-12-02

Intermedia Television has its roots in one of the earliest local television initiatives in Romania. The station initially operated in connection with the local cable network, under the names CATV Agapia and later AGAPIA. Over time, the television service continued under the STV brand and subsequently as Antena 1 Suceava, as part of a local affiliation with a national television network.

In 2007, the station separated from this affiliation, following editorial and political pressures that were incompatible with its local editorial independence. Since then, the television service has operated under the Intermedia name, with a focus on regional news, public-interest journalism, community reporting and locally produced programmes.

The current legal entity, SC INTER-MEDIA SRL, was incorporated on 02.12.1994 and is the holder of the audiovisual licence for the programme service Intermedia.

Where appropriate, staff or contributors may be encouraged to seek specialised support, while the newsroom takes care to limit unnecessary repeated exposure to traumatic material and to treat such content with professional and ethical responsibility.
