Formosa TV (traditional Chinese: 民間全民電視公司，民視) is a television station based in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Established on March 27, 1996, FTV began broadcasting on June 111997.
The station was wholly owned and operated by the Democratic Progressive Party. Because of the location of its headquarters, which is in an area where Taiwanese-speakers are populous, it also earned the reputation for being the first station in Taiwan to use that tongue in a majority of its programs, especially on their prime time newscasts.
On May 24, 2004, FTV was among the first free-to-air channels on Taiwan to switch from terrestrial analogue signal to digital television.[1]
