Overview

As the first Croatian commercial television network, Nova TV made the Croatian TV viewers familiar with reality shows when first showing the American shows such as Survivor and Temptation Island. They were also the first television network to show The Jerry Springer Show in Croatia, although they stopped showing it in 2002. A short time later they started to produce their own talent show Story Supernova, which was then followed by the Croatian version of Pop Idol called Hrvatski idol.

The station also became notable for showing one of the first Croatian sitcoms called Naša mala klinika, which started to air in November 2004, and in early June 2005 they started to show another domestically produced sitcom called Bumerang. In 2005 Nova TV also introduced popular American TV series such as Lost and Desperate Housewives as well as reality show The Apprentice to the Croatian audience, and in the same year they were also showing the controversial domestically produced animated series Laku noć, Hrvatska. They are also known for broadcasting newer blockbusters first released in the 1990s and the 2000s as well as some less popular TV or cinema movies that are quite hard to find anywhere else in Croatia.

Currently, their program schedule usually consists of cartoons and children's program in the morning, the afternoons are generally reserved for Latin American telenovelas, foreign sitcoms and US American soap operas while the evenings begin with daily news program followed by movies and TV series or reality shows as well as domestic shows or sitcoms. They are also notable for live broadcasts of sporting events such as alpine skiing and Mirko Filipović's K-1 fights.
