The channel has been broadcast since 26 November 1992. First only in Prague and Central Bohemia under the name FTV Premiéra; later Premiéra TV. It has held a broadcasting licence since 1994 with a condition that a part of the broadcasting time will be used for local and regional broadcasters. But in fact their total proportion of local programming has been gradually lowered. Since 1997, the name of station has been Prima televize (which in Czech means "cool television"). In 2003, Prima's broadcasting licence was extended until 28 June 2018.

In autumn 2005, a 50% stake was purchased by MTG.,[1] since this date, the channel has also aired many new western TV series such as Bones, Heroes, The Closer, Medium, Criminal Minds, Monk and many more, although Prima has many years of broadcasting of German and French crime series. See the Foreign series section.
