ITN goes digital
The Independent Television Network ( ITN) was the pioneer television station dating back to the beginning of TV broadcast in Sri Lanka. It has consistently provided its viewers immensely entertaining programming with a unique local flavour.

Popular tele soap such as 'Kopi Kade', with its quirky and lovable characters have been enjoyed by families for decades. For viewers searching for the 'shock factor', 'Atapattama' is a weekly favourite. ITN also provides a great viewing experience for children through 'Samanala Uyana' and 'Tikiri Paya.'

Through progammes such as 'Doramadalawa' with its expert discussion panels and viewer interaction and 'Thulawa' with its cutting edge political discussions ITN programming achieves a high quality standard.

Today ITN joins hands with Communiq Broadband Network Limited known as CBNS at as they launch Sri Lanka's first Satellite Digital Video Broadcast (DVB-S) Direct-to-Home (DTH) network.
