Programming on the inaugural night included a mix of speeches from Governor Sir Maurice Dorman, Archbishop Mgr Sir Michael Gonzi and Prime Minister George Borg Olivier, a number of imported British productions, some Maltese productions and the Daily Newscast.

[6] In 1975, following the breakdown of discussions on the new collective agreement a sit-in strike and a lockout of management was held by Rediffusion Malta employees.

Prime Minister Dom Mintoff expressed sympathy for the workers and stated the government's support for terminal benefits.

The Rediffusion Group started legal proceedings against union officials and striking workers for violating property rights and unauthorized broadcasting.

[8] In October 2011, PBS announced a full overhaul of the TVM brand, to mark 50 years since the establishment of the Malta Television Service in 2012.

The Maltese Cross element featured heavily in the "L-Aħbarijiet tat-8" (8pm News) title sequence, and various idents produced by TVM.

This rebrand was extended to all TVM related services, including the tvm.com.mt website and parent company's PBS branding.

The new logos being rolled out for PBS, TVM and TVMNews+ were especially met with fierce criticism, after some competitors took to Facebook to share their designs.

[10] This was part of a larger overhaul of TVM's presence on the island, splitting entertainment and news in two separate channels, a move which was seen by the Nationalist Party (opposition) as a blatant attempt to relegate news and current affairs programmes to a secondary channel with low viewership ratings, especially since this happened after popular discussion programmes such as Xarabank and Dissett were axed from the schedule previously.

In 2024, TVMNews+ was rebranded once again to TVM+, and switched its focus back to secondary programming, showing programmes and repeats not shown on the main TVM channel.

[17] GO, Melita's main rival in the cable television industry in Malta included the service later in their schedule and also exclusively TVM2 HD.

Whilst TVMi primarily hosts live video streams of TVM, TVM+ and TVMSports+, there are occasions in which extra channels are added.

A new programme schedule was announced, including an increased number of news bulletins and a new current affairs-led breakfast show.

For several years including the 2015/2016 period TVM had the highest number of viewers compared to the rest of Maltese television stations put together.

TVM airs TVAM, a breakfast television program focused on news and current affairs, weekday mornings from 06:30 to 09:00.

When important events happened, such as the death of Queen Elizabeth II and Pope Benedict XVI, TVM broadcast lengthened editions of their regular News Bulletins.
