Minecraft Television

Minecraft Television (shortened to MCTV by affiliates) is an American & Philippine broadcast television network jointly owned by Microsoft Corporation, through its Mojang division, and Trinome Media. The network ( America) operations are headquarted from the 5th to the 10th floor of the Mojang North American Office in Manhattan, New York City, NY. While in Philippines, the network operations are headquarted at Trinome Media HQ, at 4th to the 6th floor.

When the network was recently launched, its stations are only located in the Top 4 markets (NYC, LA, Chicago, and Philadelphia) and the rest of the country. However, on June 4, 2019 MCTV will be available nationwide.

2018-2019 (GamerCraft Era)
In 1998, the Pokémon Broadcasting Company launched its American operations in September 8, 1998, and the network instantly got a huge audience, a dominant portion playing the game the network's flagship program is based. In 2011, Markus Persson (with his Mojang company) officially released Minecraft to the public (initially released on May 17, 2009) and it became the second best-selling game worldwide, behind Soviet Russian-based game Tetris. In around 2015, animated short films using Minecraft elements sparked throughout YouTube, with Monster School being the most-viewed Minecraft animation on the site. When Mojang, which Persson sold to Microsoft for $2,500,000,000.00, saw those numbers, they are now planning on making a TV network. In 2018, GamerCraft LLC, which had purchased 4 independent stations in the Top 4 DMA, partnered with Microsoft (Mojang) and formed the Minecraft Television network. The two companies will jointly own the network, thus making it a joint venture, and GamerCraft will be responsible for program distribution. The network was set to launch its new fall season in September 2, 2019. However, GamerCraft's stations demanded their owner to launch immediately because the best-selling game Tetris is joining with Dorado Media to make a new network called the Tetris Network, and that they won't fall behind. So GamerCraft and Mojang launched MCTV on its stations and on cable on January 7, 2019. The fall schedule will be the start of their nationwide coverage, and the Tetris Network was never materialized, as Dorado Media got many complaints by the viewers of their stations (mostly Big Three affiliates) that they will find a new station or NO STATION at all.

2019-present (Trinome Era)
On May 24, 2019, MCTV was sold to Trinome Media. The nationwide launch date was pushed to June 4, 2019, and DWIO-TV Analog & Digital Channel 28 was launched in May 27, 2019, making it the first nationwide and international affliate channel of MCTV.
