On 1 September 2003, UBC News got a new look, add a new image to consider as a news channel, consistent with the change of the UBC logo.

In 2006, the channel has rebranded to UBC News 24, later known as True News 24 as the network was rebranding to TrueVisions in 2007.

TNN

In 2008, True News 24 has rebranded to TNN and split into two channels. TNN24 became a 24-hour news channel and TNN2 now broadcasts in-depth news and documentaries.

TNN24 has an officially launched on 9 September 2008 on TrueVisions channel number 7. And the following year, on September 9, 2009, the website was launched.

On 1 January 2010, TNN has produced its own radio station called TNN Radio ( th, ทีเอ็นเอ็น เรดิโอ) broadcast on the Royal Thai Army Radio Station JS 2, Department of Military Communications FM 103.0 MHz, bringing live news programming from TNN24 into a radio format parallel to the television broadcast.

In 2010, TNN24 has launched its free-to-air service on Thaicom 5 both and C band and also launch its channel on other subscription television provider, PSI and DTV.

Thai News Network (TNN) Co., Ltd. was established on 17 August 2011 to become the subsidiary of TrueVisions and serves as the owner of the channel.

On 1 March 2012, TNN24 started to air its high-definition channel on TrueVisions cable TV service on channel number 124 and expanded to broadcast on satellite service after that.

In April 2014, TNN24 started to broadcast on digital terrestrial television on channel number 16 after it was awarded a digital TV license in December 2013.

The channel has the same channel number on every platform referring to the Must-carry rule provided by National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) but was still broadcast on TrueVisions channel number 7 until the NBTC has an order to force TrueVisions to move the channel to number 16 in 2016.
