Brief History

Capital TV was founded in 1995 by two Australian expats, Raine Grady and Les Nyerges.

Since then, Capital TV’s identity has grown steadily with its programs becoming some of the best-known TV brands in the region.

Capital TV’s first major break was when it started to produce a local business/property TV program called ‘The Richard Ellis Report’. This program was aired on IBC Thailand for several years and then received the attention of CNBC. In 1996, the company started launching several international weekly programs covering property/business and travel on the CNBC Asia Network.
 
   - Hot Property Asia
   - ASEAN Report
   - The Business of Travel

STAR TV was Capital TV’s next step. A change in format from business to leisure started “Travel Asia & Beyond” in 1997.

This program was aired weekly on STAR World to more than 50 countries for more than 10 years!

Capital TV’s focus on the travel industry has allowed Capital TV to develop one of the largest stock libraries in the region. Amongst its customers is STAR TV who uses its material for its STARAsiaTravel.com vignettes. Capital TV’s material is being broadcast time and time again!

In 2000 Capital TV instigated a TV leisure/magazine program called ‘Destination Thailand’ specifically focusing on Thailand. Now in its 9th year on TRUE Series the program is also rebranded and aired in Pattaya and Phuket on local cables.

In 2005 Capital TV won the coveted AUSCHAM SME Business Awards. An award for achievement as the best known English language producer in Thailand.
