Ortonormális

Ortonormális was a Hungarian television channel that operated from 1998 to 2000. The channel was owned by the UPM Magyarország Média Zrt, a subsidiary of the United Pan-Europe Communications (UPC) group.

Ortonormális targeted the 4+ and 8-12 year old age groups, offering a mix of children's programming, cartoons, and television series. The channel's focus was on providing high-quality educational content that catered to the needs and interests of young viewers.

The channel's content was largely based on international productions acquired from various European and international television networks. Ortonormális' programming schedule included popular children's shows from the UK, the Netherlands, and other European countries. However, the channel also produced some of its own local content, including Hungarian-language series.

Ortonormális was available in Hungary through satellite broadcasting and was broadcast in a standard definition (SD) format. Although the channel's specific broadcast schedule and availability in other countries are unclear, it is evident that Ortonormális was one of the few television channels aimed at children during its operational period.

Following its closure in 2000, Ortonormális' broadcast apparatus was distributed to other Hungarian television channels. The channel's legacy serves as a reminder of the early days of private television broadcasting in Hungary.
