TeleNorba or Telenorba Shqiptare or simply TNSH (now ABC News)[1] is a defunct private Albanian TV channel from Tirana, Albania launched in 1996[2] and owned by the Bari, Italy based TeleNorba Italia broadcaster. Originally, the channel was owned by Italian businessmen, then a Greek businessman[which?], and finally by Albanian media mogul Aleksandër Frangaj. The channel used to be available via analogue in central Albania, and later on satellite in Europe on the Albanian TV package DigitAlb.
Traditionally, the channel broadcast a variety of programming but its core focus remained news programming, cartoons, and soap operas from the Italian version of Telenorba based in Bari, Italy. In 2002, it was ranked fourth with 11.3% audience share. TeleNorba was the only affiliated channel to TV Klan which had the right to broadcast Njerëz të Humbur (Missing People) but did not hold the rights to broadcast the program live. Indeed, the program debuted on TNSH.[3] TNSH rebranded to ABC News in 2007 after Redi Sata purchased 80% of its shares.[4] On 25 October 2010, ABC News commenced broadcasting after three years of inactivity as TNSH.
