Alfa TV is a Bulgarian television channel owned and operated by the political party Ataka. The channel aired primarily social and political programs that reflect the views of the party in a direct manner. The channel has been described as pro-Russian.
History
The channel began broadcasting with a two-month delay after several refusals for registration by the Council for Electronic Media. The television was owned by the Bulgarian political party Attack in the period 2009-2018, which announced the launch of its own television after the withdrawal of support from SKAT TV, which broadcasts the party's programs. In 2012, Volen Siderov's discussion studio - Ataka, which was broadcast by SKAT until 2009, returned to the broadcast. In 2019, ownership was transferred to the Alfa Foundation. On 3 November 2022, the channel briefly went off the air due to unpaid bills, and resumed broadcasting a week later.
