History
Thai Television Channel 4
Thai Television Channel 4 was the first TV station in Thailand. Incorporated on November 10, 1952, it operated under the management of Thai Television Company Limited. Plans for the future Channel 4 were made in early 1952 by Sapphasiri Wiriyasari, an official in the public-relations department of the Prime Minister's Office. He wrote an article about the new technology ("Visual Radio"), which was distributed to a group of government officials in the public-relations department. Wiriyasari was assigned by the department to the United Kingdom to study the medium of television. After returning to Thailand around 1949, he proposed the government establishment of television broadcasting in another article, "Time Thailand Should Have Television". At a 1950 cabinet meeting, prime minister Chom Phon Plaek Phibunsongkhram, instructed the department to establish a television station. A budget was outlined for the following year, but opposition from a majority of MPs (from the government and opposition parties) to the project's perceived wastefulness prevented it from proceeding.
In September and November 1952, the ministers and the public relations department (Luang Saranuprapan, ML Khap Koonchorn, Prasong Hongsanan, Phao Sriyanond, Lek Sanguanchatsornkrai, Muni Mahasanthana Wetchayanrangsit and Luen Phongsophon) supported the development of television in Thailand to provide news and information, quality programming and education. Public support resulted in the allocation of ฿20 million, and the Thai Television Company (TTVC) was founded. Chamnong Rangsikoon was its head producer, Amporn Photchanaphisoot the head director of photography, Somchai Malacharoen the chief cameraman, Thana Nakkhaphan the broadcast engineer, Kriangkrai (Sanan) Chiwapricha the transmitter chief, Thamrong Worasoot and Fu Chomchuen transmitter and antenna supervisor, Chan Tanthakosai chief director for sound, Sapphasiri Wiriyasiri the lighting chief and Raksak Watthanaphanit head of television services.
TTVC established the TTV radio station (Thai: สถานีวิทยุกระจายเสียง ท.ท.ท.) before starting the framework for the television station. The inaugural Thai Television Channel 4 broadcast was on June 24, 1955. Using a 10-kW monaural transmitter, 525 lines per picture and 30 frames per second, the original broadcast schedule was Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 6:30 to 11:00 pm. The channel began to broadcast daily in 1957.

In 1974, TTVC moved its black-and-white, 525-line Channel 4 system to a colour, 625-line system on Channel 9.

On February 3, 1977 the That cabinet, led by Prime Minister Thanin Kraivichien, issued a resolution dissolving the TTVC.

The Channel 9 operation continued on April 9, 1977 as Thai Color Television Channel 9 M.C.O.T.
Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and King Bhumibol Adulyadej officially opened the MCOT buildings on a 14-acre (5.7 ha) with a television transmission, the largest in the country at the time, at 9:25 am on June 28, 1981. On July 16, 1987, Thai Television Channel 3 and Thai Television Channel 9 M.C.O.T. signed an expansion agreement. In 1992, Sangchai Sunthornwat became the director of MCOT.

On November 6, 2002, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra inaugurated Modernine TV. It is also still known as Channel 9 (Thai: ช่อง 9). During the September 19, 2006 coup d'état, Thaksin declared a state of emergency in the Bangkok area from a mobile phone in the U.S. live on Modernine TV before the station was ordered to stop broadcasting.
