Nova also aired "Gospodari na Efira", a Bulgarian licensed version of "Striscia la notizia", the most viewed TV program in Italy, but the show's producers at "Global vision" decided to move it to another big TV network in Bulgaria - bTV. Later in spring 2012 due to a major scandal involving bTV Media Group and Global Vision, "Gospodari na efira" returned to Nova. "Complete Madness" was also part of Nova TV's program schedule, but since it is produced by "Global vision", the show has also been moved to bTV. Nova TV aired two dance reality shows in two consecutive years - "VIP Dance" (launched on 8 September 2009) and the charity dance competition "Bailando: Scene of Dreams" in Fall 2010. The outrageous "The Moment of Truth" - BG edition was part of Nova TV's 2009 Fall program schedule as well. Nova TV's Fall 2011 projects include the hit talent show "X Factor" which starts in September. SevenOne International's show formats - "Beat Your Host" (hosts will be Ivan and Andrey) and "Rent a Host" (hosted by Niki Kuntchev) will air this fall on "Nova", too. Apart from the reality formats, Nova TV will also broadcast it's brand new BG series - "Floor Property" ("Etajna sobstvenost") and the document series "Lost in Bulgaria". "Station Nova" will remain the channel's longest-running show (in terms of broadcasting hours) - every Sunday from 9:00 am until 5.45 pm. Fans of the Bulgarian version of "I Love My Country" will also have the opportunity to watch their favorite game show on Fridays. Nova also has a children's block on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 to 10:00
EET. On 10 December 2006, the Sunday block started to show two
Warner Bros. cartoon series from 9:00 to 10:00 in
The Warner Block (the name is not translated to
Bulgarian at the start of the block, but in ads, it is known as
"Часът на Уорнър", or
The Warner Hour). The first two shows to air in it are
Tom & Jerry Kids and
Superman: The Animated Series (the latter is broadcast for the first time in Bulgaria). In the late 1990s the channel showed the first season of
Spider-Man (later to be taken over by
bTV) and cartoon series such as
My Little Pony. Other cartoons include
Pokémon,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
Winx Club,
Justice League,
Samurai Jack,
Teen Titans,
X-Men: Evolution,
Firehouse Tales and
Voltron: The Third Dimension (although the original series aired on
Kanal 1),
Beast Wars (which aired years earlier on Kanal 1 with different dub),
The Spectacular Spider-Man,
The Life and Times of Juniper Lee,
New Captain Scarlet and
Transformers: Animated (only the third season). Currently the animated series that are being run are
The Woody Woodpecker Show,
The Little Mermaid,
The Penguins of Madagascar and
Gormiti. On 12 September 2011, Nova changed its broadcast graphics design, and logo and renamed its newscast from "Kalendar" to "Nova's News". Until 6 September 2014 Nova showed all its content in 4:3, except for some movies which were shown in Letterbox, now it is all shown in 16:9; it also did the same in 2017. On 1 January 2026, Nova changed its broadcast graphics design, and logo.
