TVA (Televizioni Arbëria or Telearbëria) was a national television station based in Tirana, Albania. It was founded in 1996 and was one of the early private TV stations in Tirana, quickly establishing itself as a prominent channel in the country. Despite having limited coverage with an analogue signal, it was granted national frequency status.

During the 2000s, TVA faced various challenges, including frequent changes in staff and executive directors, leading to instability and a decline in audience share. These factors ultimately contributed to the channel's financial troubles, leading to its bankruptcy and closure in 2009. The UHF frequency of TVA was subsequently sold to TV Klan, another television network in Albania.
In 2007, TVA made significant progress in its programming and underwent continuous improvements, making it a more dynamic channel with a growing audience. Until its closure, TVA was included in the DigitALB TV package. However, as of July 10, 2009, it was replaced in the DigitALB program guide by the news channel A1 TV.
