Television channels

The flagship channel was first launched in 1994 as "Mustang TV" - a regional TV channel in Varna. In 1999, after it started satellite broadcasting, the channel was rebranded as "MSAT". In 2009 the channel broadcasting was moved to Sofia at the Bulgaria Air airlines headquarters, from where it began building its national terrestrial network. In March 2010, television began broadcasting in 15 cities in Bulgaria. In Varna it was replaced by the regional TV channel "Cherno More TV", formerly "Varna TV" and "RD TV". On 9 September 2011 the channel was rebranded as a business network under the name "Bulgaria ON AIR". On 21 September 2015, the channel was relaunched as a flagship television channel after the media group launched "Bloomberg TV Bulgaria" as a business-economic network in partnership with Bloomberg Group.

Radio stations

On 22 March 1996 in Varna was launched the radio station of "Mustang Holding" - "Alpha Radio". From the beginning the radio was with a news profile. After its inception it began broadcasting in Dobrich, Shumen and Varna. On March 17, 2007, it began broadcasting in Sofia and quickly became a national radio station, relaunching itself as an electronic music dance radio. In 2009 the radio was integrated into the media holding of "MSAT" and Bulgaria Air. On 9 September 2011 the radio station was rebranded as the business radio "Bulgaria ON AIR" and integrated with the television channel of the same name. "Alpha Radio" was kept as an online-based electronic and dance music radio station. The radio was briefly launched terrestrially in 2012 in Pazardzhik, Pernik and Targovishte as a placeholder, until at the end of 2014 "Bulgaria ON AIR Radio" also took those frequencies.
