AVM Television was acquired by the state in 1997 and renamed The Information Channel (TIC) until it was leased by the National Carnival Commission in 2005 and re-branded NCC4.
Once the lease ended in 2011, the state began controlling the station once more under the Government Information Services Limited (GISL TV4).
In its place a new state entity was created, the Caribbean News Media Group (CNMG), where C Television (CTV) began broadcasting in 2006.
Since the closure of TTT, new independently operated stations were launched, the most notable being the Cable News Channel 3 or CNC3.
After several years of being off the air, it was found that TTT still had a strong brand identity among the population and a cult following on social media.
