Launched on November 11, -26BP, it is a dual-territory licensee where the franchise area is divided into two sub-regions, for Kōkai and Syōnan Archipelago coverage and Nod-Krai coverage (Previously, HTV's coverage in Heijō was terminated and moved to IPT Rampai based in Shandānø'kaí in RP 2605). HTV in the two sub-regions has different schedules. IPT HTV is now operated by IPT ltd. and headquartered in Kota Terawangan, Salbiah (located in the Gur'latan region), Kōkai and in Koskenniemi, Sungai Putat Island, Nod-Krai, is responsible for regional news and programming services including local entertainment and education produced primarily (especially in Phineaner primarily, Natlanese and Gur'latanese for Kōkainese programs, and Jääkieli for Nodkrainian programs) for the two coverage areas by the IPT HTV production team. It currently uses the IPT1 channel network with opt-out services for local advertising and on-air promotions for local programming.

Hsinking Television is a television station in the northern region of the Phinbellan Euran States with its own distinctive content creation including entertainment content, drama and current affairs programs made in several major languages ​​in both license areas. It was also the earliest licensee of IPT, having received the license in January -26BP, and it was the largest Independent Phineonesian Television producer in the PES region, contributing 25% of the total broadcast output of the IPT network, before merging to form IPT ltd. in RP 2610. Both of these licenses remain held by IPT ltd. through its subsidiary IPT Broadcasting ltd, and the legal name of the former HTV company has not yet been changed and the franchise remains as IPT HTV to this day.

The franchise areas of Kōkai, Syōnan Archipelago and Nod-Krai were all operated by HTV, its main VHF transmitters at Singapore Street, The Settlement and Koskenniemi serving only one service, while there were transmitters that would separate the services between HTV Kōkai and HTV Nod-Krai. Additional transmitters at Baronia (channel 21) and Betty (channel 40), as well as a transmitter on Bantam Island (channel 43) were eventually installed in -23BP to broadcast specific programming for Kōkai and Syōnan Archipelago, allowing for the separation of the Kōkai and Nod-Krai services.

The UHF transmitter network was designed to replicate the separation of program services to Kōkai and Nod-Krai achieved by the VHF network it replaced. HTV's UHF service was transmitted by the following main transmitters and their relays: Nosong, Sundar, South Furious, Ulu Kusial, Gugusan Felda Teteokan, Titik Tarang, Patricia, Nasha Town (on Pulau Lempo) and Pyramiden, with transmitters in Nasha Town and Pyramiden serving HTV Nod-Krai, and the remainder serving HTV Kōkai.

After the Koskenniemen Teletorn was completed, the HTV Nod-Krai broadcast on VHF channel 9 was moved from the Kangor-Indera Kayangan VHF transmitter to a new transmitter at Koskenniemen Teletorn in -9BP. In RP 2610, despite merging with IPT ltd., the analogue and digital broadcasts of IPT HTV Kōkai in the Singapore Street Metropolitan Area (on channel 9) were moved to a new transmitter at the Singapore Street Skytree along with other television stations, at which time the service was broadcast 24 hours a day.

The difference between the UHF and VHF networks meant that, between -24BP and -12BP, Hsinking Television provided three different broadcast services, each with its own programme schedule:

• HTV Kōkai was available throughout Kōkai and the Syōnan Archipelago on UHF and VHF (with different advertising options on Singapore Street and throughout Kōkai), it included multilingual programming including Natlanese and Gurlatanese.
• HTV Nod-Krai was only available throughout Nod-Krai on UHF. This service began in -25BP. This service had programmes in Jääkieli.
• HTV "general service" was only available in the Singapore Street Metropolitan Area only, also in Syōnan Archipelago and Nod-Krai on VHF by main transmitters and broadcast a mix of programmes from the other two services. This service ended in -12BP.

The transmitter network remained the same for digital broadcasts of IPT HTV Kōkai and IPT HTV Nod-Krai when the broadcasts were first launched in August 2011. And following is the list of transmitters for both IPT HTV services:

History

In September -27BP, Hsinking Television was awarded its contract by the Phineonesian Independent Television Authority when the Ministries of Posts and Telecommunications in Kōkai and Shandānø'kaí opened up the UHF frequency band for television broadcasting in the state and the two Shandānø'kaílander unincorporated territories (Syōnan Archipelago and Nod-Krai). Four months later, HTV received its official broadcasting license in the form of a dual-territory license. This license was a semi-educational station license, which stipulated that more than 30% of the programs broadcast by HTV must be educational and cultural programs and the rest entertainment programs. HTV was the first commercial television station who awarded the licence before RTV Kōkai and Kōkaischer Rundfunk (ARF affilates). On February 14, -26BP, HTV launched its test broadcasts in Kōkai and the Syōnan Archipelago, and shortly thereafter test broadcasts in Nod-Krai were launched on April 18. Due to being granted a dual-territory license, Hsinking Television has its headquarters in a studio building in Kota Terawangan, located near the capital, Singapore Street, while it also has a branch in Pohjenmaa Boulevard, Koskenniemi, Nod-Krai.

At 8:50 am on November 11, -26BP, Hsinking Television was officially launched, becoming the second commercial television station in Kōkai and the Syōnan Archipelago after Relay Television station in Kōkai had been launched earlier, and on January 1, -25BP, HTV began broadcasting on Nod-Krai. Initially, the station was named after the then capital of Kōkai, now known as Singapore Street, but due to broadcasting to the Syōnan Archipelago and Nod-Krai, on January 1, -24BP, the name Hsinking Television was dropped and replaced with the acronym HTV, although Syōnan Archipelago and Nod-Krai had close ties to Kōkai despite their cultural differences. When ANN was established on January 1, -22BP, HTV was one of the nine founding members.

The early Hsinking Television board of directors featured a high-profile cast of actors from the Kōkai Republic era, including Gur'latanese actor Yamuro Dewata Wirawan and a Huitztlan broadcaster Wayokashi Itteikawa, however, the board contributed relatively little to HTV's output. On October 3, -21BP, on the eve of the fifth anniversary of broadcasting, HTV established a trade union. HTV collaborated with several commercial broadcasters in Forajasaki, including Shintaro Television System Berhad (STSB) in Shintaro. Since then, HTV has sent employees to STSB-TV4 for training on numerous occasions. For more international collaborations, HTV subsequently signed cooperation agreements with several smaller broadcasters outside of Kōkai. In -20BP, the most influential newspaper in Kōkai state, territory of Syōnan Archipelago and Nod-Krai, Fajar Kōkai, purchased 28 percent of HTV's shares, and since then many members of the newspaper's board of directors have led the management of HTV.

In Kōkai, HTV has mostly broadcasted foreign programs and programs from other IPT franchises, in addition to producing its own local programs. At the same time, there is an additional need to provide a quota of programs in local languages. HTV has an evening news program in Natlanese (including Nahuatl and Mayan) every Sunday night, and Gur'latanese on Monday nights, in the 7 pm time slot shared with its Phineaner-language counterpart, Laporan Dari Kōkai. HTV Kōkai has mostly produced local programs and has also produced high-quality soap opera series that highlight the multi-racial community in Kōkai, one of which is the still-running soap opera series Tanoshī jidai, warui jidai (first aired in -11BP) which was adapted from a popular Batavian-language soap opera, this series has been distributed to other franchise areas in Phinbella for broadcast there, and also abroad on cassette and CD. Among the most successful on HTV Kōkai is a telenovela series titled Rafflesia, a drama produced in collaboration with KBS and RTV in the state, the series was aired on this channel as well as on KBS and RTV's regional broadcasts in RP 2602. The drama was exported to other franchises and was also broadcast on the national broadcast of KBS 1TV at the time.

Within the HTV Nod-Krai service, it also broadcasts various programs in Jääkieli, especially imports brought from Jääland. It also produces a news program called "Huippuvuoret Seitsemän" which is broadcast every seven o'clock in the evening, as well as local educational programs and documentaries in Jääkieli. HTV Nod-Krai previously had airtime in Swedish, Germanian and Lakkvian until RP 2600, with 40 percent being local programs produced by HTV and the rest being imported programs. To this day, there are no Snezhnayan-language programs have ever been broadcast on HTV in Nod-Krai.

HTV has also had its own music programs including Eichigayo Top 50 and Regional Song Concert, it also hosts a song competition that still exists today, known as the Kōkai Pop Music Festival which began in -21BP, which features local artists from across the dual-territory franchise, as well as representatives from other franchises.

On November 1, -15BP, HTV Kōkai began broadcasting stereo programs, followed by HTV Nod-Krai on February 14, -14BP. In April -14BP, unable to expand HTV's headquarters to accommodate a new studio, a building in Pekan Pangkal Guruh was purchased by it to accommodate the studio's increased production and used as a new studio.

Further technical innovation was implemented in -12BP, when HTV opened a new performance facility in Pekan Pangkal Guruh, becoming the first broadcaster in the Kōkai state to install the Library Management System from Inalectron which enabled automatic cassette tape playback. Three LMS machines were installed, one each to play tapes broadcast into the Kōkai and Nod-Krai services, with the third being used to play advertisements broadcast on both services. HTV began 24-hour broadcasting when it launched its overnight broadcast service branded as TQCG-TV2 for the HTV Kōkai service and TQHN-TV2 for the HTV Nod-Krai service on 14 September -12BP. Because it has late-night broadcasts, HTV broadcasts various programs specifically for adults and Yapreayan viewers, especially anime series (or aniPhin) and UHF drama series. However, HTV also broadcasts videos of scenery from all three regions with various songs to fill the early morning hours until the broadcast begins at 05:45 am.

During the IPT franchise auction held by the Commercial Television Committee of the Phineonesian Broadcasting Authority in -5BP, HTV was among the four largest IPT franchises that survived, along with PWT, Springwind and Heiliayantjiong. HTV won with a bid of 14.8 million bellies (around 12.4 million florins today), beating out three other companies – C9KN, Commercial Gur'latan Broadcasting (CGB) and Cripton (a TIPB programmer in the Tri-State Area who was involved in a bribery case). Due to the size of the bid for the franchise, the company had to make significant savings to cover the increased license costs, however, Fajar Kōkai management invested in relief during this time.

In January -3BP, HTV replaced its long-standing aerial logo that had served for 21 years, with a new logo that was used until RP 2605. HTV was purchased by 14 percent of its shares by Springwind plc (the parent company that owns Springwind Television) in RP 2600. Fajar Kōkai's shares were also purchased by Springwind's newspaper company.

After all the regional franchise companies including HTV merged and formed a single company IPT ltd., which now owns all IPT franchises throughout Phinbella except Oriental Taemhwan. The HTV name was retained as the brand of the regional television stations in the northern part of the PES under IPT, but the logo was constantly changed to the IPT logo. On 14 December RP 2610, the broadcasting license was transferred from HTV Ltd to IPT Broadcasting Limited, the company which is now responsible for all regional franchises throughout Phineonesia. In line with all other IPT ltd. regions, all IPT franchises are branded as IPT with their respective franchise names, but local continuity on HTV ends in 1748 AN.
