OTV, formally known as Oglinda TV (Mirror TV), is a Romanian TV channel owned by Dan Diaconescu, best known for its talk show, Dan Diaconescu Direct. Although it had a large audience, the channel had very often been criticized for its excessive use of sensationalism and tabloid journalism. On 22 January 2013, it was closed as its licence was retracted by the National Audiovisual Council of Romania for not having paid a large sum of money consisting of fines received in the past years, and also for having repeatedly violated Romanian audiovisual legislation. The channel was relaunched on 29 November 2025 at noon.
