TV Luna was a private Slovak television network that broadcast from 27 November 1999. It broadcast via terrestrial and satellite Intelsat 707. The channel promised a balanced news service, as STV and Markíza's news operations were seen as partial to one party at the time, however there were allegations that the channel was close to the then-ruling SDL party. Its initial budget included a loan from the Devín Bank. Moreover, there was an initial plan to include five-minute news updates every hour, and a 20-minute talk-show in the style of Larry King Live.
