OBN originally stood for Open Broadcast Network, when the company was founded in 1996 by the Office of the High Representative and the European Union. It was oriented towards general news, and the international owners invested some 20 million USD in its development as a neutral television channel.

The station became privately owned in 2000, when it was acquired by Ivan Ćaleta, a Croatian entrepreneur and former owner of Nova TV. Later, Chellomedia bought 85% stake in the television.[1] Ćaleta bought back AMC Networks International's 85% stake in the television channel in November 2019, making him the sole owner of the channel once again.[2]
