Overview
Money News Romania (Money News România) is a Romanian business and financial news brand. It first appeared as a television channel dedicated to economic and financial news, launched between 19 and 28 April 2016, roughly a year after its broadcasting licence had been approved by the National Audiovisual Council (CNA). The channel broadcast from the former studios of The Money Channel, which had closed in April 2015, and set out to bring economic and business content back to the foreground with a schedule built around financial markets, investments and economic policy. The television operation ran until 19 April 2025, when it closed permanently. Two weeks before the closure, the CNA decided to postpone the renewal of the licence, giving the station a chance to remedy several irregularities identified in a monitoring report; the absence of an official response led to the definitive shutdown. According to sources in the management of M&M Channel SRL, although the TV station closed, the Money News brand continued to operate online as a digital publication focused on economics and finance. After the TV channel closed, the brand was officially relaunched in the digital environment under the name TheMoneyNews, through the website themoneynews.ro. The platform operates as an online publication of economic and financial news, keeping the editorial direction of the television station but adapted to the digital format, with the brand officially protected through registration at OSIM (the Romanian State Office for Inventions and Trademarks). The project's developers have said they do not rule out, in the future, the possibility of relaunching an online TV station that would bring economic and business content back in video format. Today the brand is best understood as a digital-first Romanian financial news outlet. Its homepage presents real-time news from financial and economic sources, covering topics such as tax administration reform, energy prices, AI adoption by companies, and fiscal residency rules. The editorial identity remains close to the original television concept: markets, investment, economic policy and business news for a Romanian audience.
History
Money News Romania emerged as a Romanian television channel focused on business and financial news. Its broadcasting licence was approved by the National Audiovisual Council (CNA) roughly a year before the channel went on air, and the launch took place between 19 and 28 April 2016. The station broadcast from the old studios of The Money Channel, which had closed in April 2015, and its stated aim was to bring economic and business content back to the foreground, with a schedule centred on financial markets, investments and economic policies. The channel operated for nearly nine years. Its end came in 2025: two weeks before the closure, the CNA decided to postpone the renewal of the licence, giving the station an opportunity to remedy several irregularities found in a monitoring report. No official reaction followed, and the channel closed permanently on 19 April 2025. Even as the television operation ended, the Money News brand did not disappear. According to sources in the management of M&M Channel SRL, the brand continued to function in the online environment as a digital publication focused on economics and finance. It was then officially relaunched in the digital space under the name TheMoneyNews, through the website themoneynews.ro. The platform works as an online publication of economic and financial news, preserving the editorial direction of the television station while adapting it to the digital format. The brand is officially protected through registration at OSIM. The developers of the project have announced that they do not exclude the possibility, in the future, of relaunching an online TV station that would bring economic and business content back in video format. In its current form, the brand presents itself as a real-time source of financial and economic news, with homepage coverage spanning tax administration, energy markets, technology adoption and fiscal rules relevant to Romanian readers.
