The channel is operated by Stichting Omroep Organisatie Groningen (OOG), which serves as the public local broadcasting organization for the municipality of Groningen in the northern Netherlands. OOG TV was originally founded on September 25, 1984, making it one of the longest-running local broadcasters in the country. The channel is based on the Zernike Campus in Groningen at Kadijk 4, where it shares facilities with the Hanze University of Applied Sciences and the University of Groningen, fostering collaboration between media, education, and research.

On air, OOG TV features approximately 30 minutes of original television programming per day, including local news bulletins, sports coverage, cultural event reports, and community information. The flagship news coverage focuses on events in the city of Groningen and surrounding areas, including the former municipalities of Haren and Ten Boer which merged with Groningen in 2019. The channel covers local politics, including municipal council meetings and decisions affecting the community, as well as infrastructure projects, education, healthcare, and social issues. OOG TV is particularly known for its sports coverage, with OOG Sport Radio providing live coverage of local football matches on Saturday afternoons, featuring games from clubs including Oosterparkers, HFC'15, and FC Lewenborg.

Beyond news and sports, OOG TV produces cultural programming that highlights the vibrant arts scene of Groningen. The channel has produced documentary content, including a production about the SISEA electronic arts symposium featuring interviews with event organizers and video clips of performances. The channel also broadcasts human-interest stories, interviews with local artists and community leaders, and coverage of festivals and cultural events throughout the year.
