Klan Kosova

Klan Kosova is a Kosovan private cable television channel based in Pristina, Kosovo. It was founded on 2 December 2008 and launched on 17 February 2009 as a Kosovan affiliate to TV Klan under the supervision of media mogul Aleksandër Frangaj. It is currently one of the most popular private broadcasters in the country.

The broadcaster was born out a need to answer to the latest developments in Kosovo and to get closer to Albania.

It is owned by KGO Media Investments Holding, a company based in Skopje.

Klan Kosova was launched in 2009 on the first anniversary of Kosovo's independence, as a collaboration between the Albanian TV Klan and the Kosovan journalist Baton Haxhiu (who took on the role of General Director). The Albanian network would provide Klan Kosova its old equipment for use in its studios. Operating out of Hyzri Talla Street in the center of Pristina, the channel made the most of its limited conditions within a tight 11×6 square meter building.

It entered satellite frequencies in November 2009.

In 2015, Klan Kosova moved its offices to the ex-Damper Factory (Fabrika e Amortizatorëve) near Kosovo Polje. This move came around the same as its transition to broadcasting in high definition.

In 2022, after the rights to broadcast the popular reality show Big Brother VIP for the Republic of Kosovo were secured with Banijay Rights, Klan Kosova announced that Big Brother VIP Kosova was going to debut on the channel starting 5 December 2022.

Following an investigation by KosovaNews, Klan Kosova's business license was suspended on 14 June 2023 under the suspicion of misuse of official duties, as well as misuse of economic authorizations. The decision was controversial among the people of Kosovo and the international journalist community, grabbing the attention of the Quint countries which expressed "deep concern" over these events. Employees of Klan Kosova and members of the Association of Journalists of Kosovo (AJK) walked out in protest of the decision on 31 July 2023.
