History

The channel was started and named after the singer and talk show host Yosef Gebre (known as Jossy) who previously hosted his talk show Jossy in Z House on EBS TV.[3] After an alleged dispute with EBS TV in 2014, Yosef took his talk show off the channel and started his own channel which later became JTV Ethiopia. The channel has correspondents and studios in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The channel obtained a license to broadcast in Ethiopia in 2018.[4]
