UBS television, formerly known as “Ulzii” television, was established under Ulaanbaatar City Administration and first aired on 15 September 1992. In 2002, the ownership of the television was transferred to the City Council. In 2007 it was fully privatized, after operating under a private management contract for three years since 2004. The vision of UBS television is top production and creative solutions, and to work as a just, equitable, and professional television through promoting the Mongolian ideal and global culture.
