Balkan News Corporation was a media enterprise based in Bulgaria that managed the bTV network along with Fox International Channels within the country. Previously, it was under the ownership of News Corporation. In April 2010, ownership of the bTV channel transferred to Central European Media Enterprises, which also held control over the Bulgarian stations PRO.BG and RING.BG. Meanwhile, the FOX channels in Bulgaria, specifically Fox Life and Fox Crime, remain operated by "FOX Intl. Channels BG," a division still held by News Corporation.
Starting in 2011, bTV has been functioning under the "bTV Media Group" umbrella. This group encompasses channels such as bTV, bTV Comedy, bTV Cinema, bTV Action (previously known as PRO.BG), bTV Lady (which debuted in January 2012), and RING.BG. Ownership of this media conglomerate lies with Central European Media Enterprises.
