As the Godó group was part of this commercial bid, Citytv could (by law) broadcast as a de facto Catalonia-wide station, but only in digital.

With a steady relaunch of Digital terrestrial television in November 2005, the channel's owners decided to rename Citytv to 8TV and become a private Catalan broadcaster.

[4] In 2021, Emissions Digitals de Catalunya was bought by the company OC 2022,[5] which is why it began a process to reform the channel so that it would once again be occupied mostly by its own programming with the aim of competing with TV3.

[8] After having obtained an overtime concession from the Catalan government, the company filed for bankruptcy and the channel was due to cease broadcasting at midnight on 15 October 2023.

[1] The station broadcasts a mixture of old films, entertainment (Arucitys; Envasat al 8; X-tra; Amics, coneguts i saludats), news (Notícies 8), sports (Força Barça), cartoons (Garfield & Xou de Lupo i DuesEspatlles).
