Artmotion (Kosovo)

Artmotion was founded in 2001 as an information technology services company and began providing internet services in the Pristina region in 2003. In 2008, it expanded operations across Kosovo, and in 2011 it launched cable television services. The Independent Media Commission licensed Artmotion as a cable operator in 2013, expanding coverage to Ferizaj, Rahovec, Istog, Viti, and Shtime. Following a rebranding in 2018, Artmotion became a cable TV platform with its own channels and integrated private channel Klan Kosova. Both channels are owned by the Kosovan conglomerate Devolli Corporation. In 2022, Artmotion announced a partnership with the Albanian media company DigitAlb to bring its channels, including Top Channel, to Kosovo, following DigitAlb's termination of its contract with IPKO. Artmotion also produces the reality show Big Brother VIP Kosova in collaboration with Banijay. ==Exclusive channels==

Since 2018, Artmotion broadcasts its own channels targeting different age groups and interests.

On 24 December 2018, Artmotion launched a cooking channel, Gurmania Channel. During Big Brother VIP Kosova seasons, two 24-hour channels are dedicated to following contestants – Big Brother VIP Kosova 1 and Big Brother VIP Kosova 2. ==Sports coverage==

In 2018, the company began broadcasting domestic basketball from the Kosovo Basketball Superleague, First League, women's league, youth leagues, and the national team. Later, the platform added rally racing, Argentine football, DFB-Pokal, as well as competitions in handball, volleyball, athletics, and swimming. Subsequent months included Formula One and MotoGP, judo, and kickboxing with Enfusion and One Championship, and later broadcasting rights for the NBA and the ABA League.
