Markíza (also known as Televízia Markíza) is a Slovakian television channel launched on August 31, 1996.[1] The channel was founded by a later politician Pavol Rusko, and is now part of the Central European Media Enterprises (CME). It also operates television channels Doma (since 2009), Dajto (since 2012), Markíza International (since 2016), Markíza KRIMI (since 2022) and Markíza Klasik (since 2024).In 2020, CME was bought out by Peter Kellner's investment group PPF.
