tm3 was a German free-to-air television network. On 1 September 2001, it was rebranded as 9Live, which eventually closed down on 9 August 2011.{{cite web | url=http://www.sueddeutsche.de/medien/live-wird-eingestellt-schluss-aus-vorbei-1.1128109 | title=Schluss, Aus, Vorbei | author= | date=5 August 2011 | website= | publisher=Süddeutsche Zeitung | language=German | accessdate=28 May 2015}} TM3 was revived on 13 January 2019 replacing Family TV.

TM3 launched as an original network on 25 August 1995 as a channel with programming focusing on women, fashion shows, & daily lifestyle. It had its headquarters in Munich.

In October 1999, a request for the following thematic channels to the Bayerische Landeszentrale für neue Medien (Bavarian State Office for New Media) was approved:

tm3 - Life & living: Dream Garden
tm3 - Life & Living: Nice Ambient
tm3 - Life & Living: Enjoy Healthy
tm3 - Life & Living: Type Specific Style
tm3 - Sport
tm3 - Cinema fun
tm3 - The Before and After Show (with Gundis Zámbó)
tm3 – Lanotte; which was continued in 9Live

In the same year, the former "Women’s Channel" purchased the broadcasting rights for the UEFA Champions League,{{cite web | url=http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/uefa-rechte-fuer-champions-league-gehen-an-tm3-a-20584.html | title=Uefa: Rechte für Champions League gehen an tm3 | author= | date=3 May 1999 | website= | publisher=DER SPIEGEL | language=German | accessdate=28 May 2015}} for DM 850 million, for four years, and broadcast live for one season before it was sold to RTL and Premiere in 2000.{{cite web | url=https://www.handelsblatt.com/archiv/TM3-steigt-aus-champions-league-aus-uefa-in-zukunft-auf-rtl-und-premiere-world/1988392.html | title=UEFA in Zukunft auf RTL und Premiere World | author= | date=6 June 2000 | website= | publisher=Handelsblatt | language=German | accessdate=28 May 2015}}

Early 2001 was the start of tm3 travel show, urlaubsreif, which was renamed that same year to sonnenklar. Through the concept of this show, the channel sonnenklar.TV was founded in 2003. It was also broadcast on 9Live.

Restructuring

News Corporation took over the station between 1999 and 2000,{{cite web | url=http://www.telecompaper.com/news/news-corp-takes-full-control-of-TM3--216085 | title=News Corp takes full control of TM3 | author= | date=3 May 2000 | website=telecompaper.com | publisher= | language= | accessdate=28 May 2015}} and transformed it into the "Champions League Station". The interest diminished in 2001, and the station was taken over by H.O.T Networks GmbH{{cite web | url=http://www.screendaily.com/kirch-acquires-TM3-and-sells-it-to-hot/404787.article | title=Kirch acquires TM3 and sells it to H.O.T. | author=Martin Blaney | date=23 January 2001 | website=screendaily.com | publisher= | language= | accessdate=28 May 2001}} and ProSiebenSat.1 Media.

As of April 23, 2001 tm3 launched, under the slogan "as real as life", an interactive live entertainment (13 hours a day), which paved the way for the developing 9Live station.
