The network was originally launched as Education 22 (more commonly known as E22) an educational television service operated by the Maltese government's Ministry of Education, Employment and the Family.[2] In March 2012 responsibility for the channel was shifted from the Ministry to the national broadcaster, Public Broadcasting Services (PBS), and the network began broadcasting as TVM2 on 8 March 2012.[3]

Following a restructuring of operations within PBS, as from October 2021 the network has been broadcasting under the name of TVMNews+.
After TVMNews+ was met with criticism due to the name, the channel rebranded as TVM+ in September 2024.[4]

TVM+ primarily airs news and educational programmes, including direct learning programmes on Maltese history and culture as well as coverage of current events.[3] It also airs a nightly newscast in Maltese Sign Language for persons who are deaf or hearing impaired. It also airs news broadcasting and also an English version. Like TVM, special programmes like football and festivals are sometimes broadcast yearly. [5]
