History
The Committee for Television was formed in 1957, with the goal of setting up television service in New Cambria. The Committee was responsible for the placement of mountaintop transmitters throughout New Cambria Island, to maximize the viewing area of the transmission. NCT began broadcasting at 6:00pm on Christmas Eve 1960. The opening address by Franklin Earley, the leader of New Cambria's provisional government described the benefits and disadvantages of the new medium. The broadcast also included a televised Mass.

Colour transmissions began in 1968, and the first locally-produced colour programming was aired in 1969. In 1970, New Cambria Television and New Cambria Radio (NCR) were united under New Cambria Public Broadcasting, a new semi-state body.

In 1979, a new government came to power, and as one of its many promises, the government quickly authorised a second channel to be run by NCT. Channel 2's remit was to provide alternative television. As a result, the original Channel 2 schedule had many relays of American and Canadian programmes mixed in with some original NCT programming. The new television channel first signed on on 1 May 1980, and the opening night featured a gala variety show.

In 1993, Channel 2 was renamed NCT Two to provide consistency across the brand, and the channel underwent a major revamp designed to revive lagging ratings. All sports coverage was transferred to NCT Two, along with children's programmes. The new channel also began airing original, regularly scheduled French-language programming for the first time.
