TV3 officially began broadcasting on 26 March 1970 at 10:00 local time, launched by then Prime Minister Thanom Kittikachorn and broadcasts from Bangkok. This broadcast area was only limited to Bangkok Metropolitan Area area during its early years.
On 26 August 1975, TV3 became the first commercial channel in collaboration with MCOT bringing Thais the live coverage of the Bangkok Southeast Asian Peninsular Games. The same thing was also done in 1997 (failed, now Modernine TV) and 2011 (passed, all matches now Modernine TV).
On 26 August 1972, TV3 became the first commercial channel in collaboration with MCOT bringing Thais the live coverage of the Munich Olympics. The same thing was also done in 1976 and 1980.
On 1 January 1985, TV3 launched its first teletext service known as ข่าวเขียน. In 1996 the service's name was changed to Infonet. It was shut down on 1 January 2008.
Between 1981 to 31 March 1986, TV3 had joint news program with TV9 (present-day Modernine TV). TV3 had its own news service again on 1 January 1985. On 1 January 1987, TV3 television audio stereo transmissions began in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area. It was the first channel in Thailand to adopt stereo broadcasting. It transmits using the Zweikanalton stereo transmission system over TV3's UHF broadcast in Bangkok. Later in the 1990s, the stereo transmission was introduced into their VHF broadcast. TV3 was also experimenting with bilingual transmission over Zweikanalton for a short period of time in the 1990s. TV3 transmits for 6 hours, from 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm, between 26 March 1970 to 31 December 1989. 17 hour broadcasting, from 8:00 am to 1:00 am, was introduced in 1990. TV3 once had 24-hour broadcasting, but due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis, it was lifted. 24-hour transmission is back since 1 January 2005. Until late-2004, TV3 broadcasts for 19 hours a day, then 21 hours, and finally adopting 24-hour broadcasting on 31 December 2004.
On 1 January 2001, TV3 was the first channel in Thailand to broadcast a 3D-movie. The movie, Jaws 3, required the viewers to have a pair of anaglyph glasses that can either be bought from certain stores partnered with TV3 for the event or attained from elsewhere (i.e. a 3D comic book the viewer already has).
In 2013, TV3 is going to change DTT signal from DMB-T to DVB-T and broadcast in two channels, one in SD and one in HD. Currently, TV3 broadcast SD only.
