Source-derived summary

TV Jadran is a Croatian commercial television station, licensed to broadcast in Split-Dalmatia County.

It was launched in Split, Croatia, in late 1993 under the name of CATV as cable-only station. Few years later it received a broadcasting license for Split-Dalmatia County and became available to the rest of County under the name Adriatic TV (ATV). Finally, since the beginning of 2004, it was renamed into TV Jadran. Its signal also spreads over the neighbouring parts of Šibenik-Knin County and Dubrovnik-Neretva County, from Vodice on the north to Metković on the south. For the near future there is a plan to cover Croatia's far south territory and western part of Montenegro as it is already done over Western, Central and Eastern Herzegovina Counties in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina with over 1 million inhabitants over there.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “TV Jadran”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1263474. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993 and 2004.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
