The first experiments
Local television, at the very best, is at least ten years older than national television. Thanks in part to the expansionist plans of Hisqaida during the war that ended up in a screeching halt, two television stations were set up by the Hisqish during Annexation. Upon the re-independence of the country, the two experimental stations had switched to a regular format, yet were broadcasting with limited resources, and asking South Hisqaida for help was impossible, since the two stations were entirely commercial and the Hisqish stations by universities, which complicated the situation even further. The first of these licenses was given to the Eusloida Times and was assigned the calls SEDT-TV. SEDT's plan was to create a national network backed by the Eusloida Times, however these plans were constantly backfired.

Arrival of national television
Richard E. Denhart, owner of his prestiged radio network, the Denhart Broadcasting System (DBS), decided to move into television by acquiring two television stations, one of them being a local station and the other being entirely built from scratch in Geerlesia (SEDE-TV, channel 9). Soon, DBS was broadcast throughout the country and television consumption drastically increased. The first partnerships with foreign networks, UTN (now Unine) of a then-divided Hisqaida and Jysannia's Condor Network were put into place.

Three new networks
With the unexpected growth of television in Eusloida, the government decided to formally issue new licenses for new television networks. Some of those stations would belong to the government and others to commercial entities.

Government-funded Eusloidan National Television started operating in 1960. Initially it was a non-commercial broadcaster and was viewed as a tool of the government.

Two years later, Eusloida Corporation Network launched by a consortium lead by EBC, ETN and the Eusloidian Commercial Bank. and some months later, Independent Broadcasting Company founded the several independent television stations, included SEDT-TV.

The network from a newspaper
In 1972, GlobeVis Corporation, the owner of The National Globe, founded a television network with company name itself, GlobeVis Television Network.

DBS goes bankrupt
1982 wasn't a normal year for the Denhart Broadcasting System. The year started with a reduction of local programming (from 40% to 10%, and that included the news) and there were also massive job losses. IBC was interested in taking the channel 9 license and merge the two networks to create the Shimmer Broadcasting Company. In the merge, some DBS and IBC station were transfered their affiliate to SBC or being independent. SEDT transfered from IBC to a independent station during the merge.

Golden Hour
In 1987, SBC experimented with a two-hour programming block called Golden Hour. The name came from the Hokuseiese prime time slot and programming was of a similar nature. However, SBC thought that the slots used for it were a "bad idea" and ratings were decreasing.

Neurcasian invasion
Neurcasian television series had already become huge hits in Eusloida, more so than in the neighboring countries. At the time, shows like Sons and Daughters were even widely criticized for being "empty television programming". When news had arrived that "a new hit series called Neighbours" has become a huge hit in Anglosaw, SBC rushed and decided to buy the rights to the series. Quickly, Neighbours became a successful series, eventually moving to the 7pm slots like in Neurcasia. In late 1988, ECN bought Home and Away and the two soaps started competing against each other.

New 4KTV stations
Between 2016 and 2018, 4KTV introduced in around the world, ECN made the decision of launch of 4K simulcast of the network. to be launched in 2018.
