same year that MTV3 was launched. This membership ended in 2019. In 2005 Alma Media sold MTV3 and its sister channels (MTV3+, Subtv, Radio Nova and a share in Urheilukanava) to Swedish company Bonnier, which in turn sold the channel to telecommunications company Telia on 20 July 2018. Programming MTV3 broadcasts every day from morning to small hours. The pre-dawn hours are allocated to a SMS-based online chat. Much of the output of MTV3 is a mixture of Finnish versions of popular program formats and of American and British imports. However, MTV3 also airs its own domestic original programming. For example, many of Spede Pasanen's productions were produced for MTV3. MTV3 maintains two main news broadcasts every day on prime time, the Seitsemän uutiset at 19:00 EET and Kymmenen uutiset at 22:00 EET. MTV3 also broadcast news every morning and short bulletins at 21:00 EET. MTV3 brought the first daily soap opera to Finland, by showing the American The Bold and the Beautiful, which in 1990s became the most popular show on the channel. In 1999, MTV3 started showing Finnish daily soap opera Salatut elämät.
