Realitatea TV is the first Romanian news television network.

Although it began broadcasting in 2001 as a general-profile television, Realitatea TV soon became the first ever 24-hour Romanian news television (2002).

Realitatea TV's program consists of newscasts, talk shows, debate and analysis formats, scientific and IT TV magazines and, generally, every important type of informative program that was deemed necessary through marketing research or by the editorial policy of the station. This news channel brought together some of the most important media personalities in Romania: Mihai Tatulici, Stelian Tănase, Robert Turcescu, Cristian Tudor Popescu (until January 2007; he canceled his contract after Sorin Ovidiu Vântu, the main owner of the TV station, made some political statements^[1]), Emil Hurezeanu, Mircea Dinescu, Andrei Gheorghe.

Since 2003, Realitatea TV has been the local broadcasting partner of CNN, being able to train its journalists through the CNN IPP (International Professional Program).

Realitatea TV won 4 APTR (the Romanian Association of Television Professionals) Awards in the last two years (one "Best Talk-show" Award, one "Opera prima" Award for best new TV format, and two "Best Informative Broadcast" Award).
