8TV (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈbujt ˈte ˈβe]), formerly known as TD8 and then Citytv, was a Catalan language private TV station based in Barcelona, Spain owned by OC 2022.
The station went on the air on 23 April 2001 as Citytv Barcelona under the ownership of Grupo Godó using the Citytv brand licensed from its then-owner CHUM Limited in Canada, making it the first Citytv franchise in European soil.
After several ownership changes, rebrandings and later a delay in the payment of its debts, the station ceased operations on 17 October 2023.[1]
