The joint limited liability company Cosmos TV was founded in 1993. The co-founders are the Republican Radio and Television Broadcasting Center on the Belarusian side, and International Telcell, Inc. on the British side, owned by Renova Media, a telecommunications holding company. Cosmos TV is the only cable TV operator in Belarus, whose subscribers watch a wide range of foreign and domestic TV channels.

Since June 1996, the company provides terrestrial television services (MMDS) for individual users in the city of Minsk. Individual reception is carried out with the help of an antenna and equipment installed directly at the subscriber's place. Now the MMDS network broadcasts 20 analog TV channels.

In October 2000, the company began developing an urban Cable TV Network (CTV). The first cable network was created in the area of Mogilevskaya, Chkalova, Zhukovskogo, and Voronyanskogo streets. Currently, Cosmos TV cable TV network covers the following districts of Minsk: Suharevo, Krasny Bor, Zapad, Malinovka, Kuntsevschina, Zelenyi Lug, Yugo-Zapad, Shabany, Serebryanka and others.

The cable TV network broadcasts 46 TV channels. A number of channels are broadcast with stereo audio.

The potential of the network allows to provide a number of additional services. In May 2003, the company started providing high-speed Internet access. This service is now available to residents of many districts.

In the development of the cable TV network, advanced technologies and equipment from leading manufacturers are used, which makes it possible to provide not only high quality broadcast television programs, but also high speed of information exchange in the Internet.
