Televisão Independente de Moçambique, abbreviated TIM, was a Mozambican commercial terrestrial television network founded in 2006 as 9TV.
Other media outlets included 9FM, the sports newspaper Bola 9 (out of circulation by 2008) and an advertising agency, BM9 Estúdios (using the initials of Bruno Morgado).
[1] Still as 9TV, the channel started airing programming from the Worldwide Church of God's Power (current owners of KTV) in order to increase its revenue that, otherwise, wouldn't be covered by advertising alone.
[1] In January 2008, reports emerged that the Portuguese businessman Pais do Amaral, former owner of TVI, bought 60% of the company's shares for US$750,000.
[4] About 50 staff members declared strike in late June 2020 for two and a half years of unpaid salaries.
