Trojka (formerly STV3) was a Slovak television channel owned and operated by RTVS. It ended on December 1, 2022, at 12:00 am CET.
History
[edit]It was originally launched in 2008 as a sports channel. Due to the financial problems of RTVS at the time, Trojka ended its broadcasting on June 30, 2011. It was relaunched on 22 December 2019 as a channel showing archived content from RTVS and its predecessors STV and ČST for an older audience. It was then ended by RTVS on November 30, 2022.
Final day on air
[edit]On November 30, 2022, Trojka announced the end of the channel itself on that day, causing chaos around the Slovak TV community. After the end of the program Štedrý deň at 12:00 am on December 1, the channel stopped airing, and the next morning, anyone who pressed the Text button while viewing Trojka would get a screen that looks like it got wiped out with the only text on the screen being P100. Some days later, RTVS removed teletext from the channel. Viewers that go to the channel to watch today will get a screen with the Trojka logo on the left with the text on the right saying the following:
Programová služba Trojka ukončila vysielanie 30. novembra 2022.
Ďakujeme za vašu priazeň.

There will be also a space background if one were to watch the channel today. As of December 7, 2022, RTVS removed live broadcasting for Trojka.
