Nova+ was the first Bulgarian reality TV channel. The channel is now defunct. The channel launched with the start of the first season of Big Brother (Bulgaria), which was also the very first reality show in Bulgaria. During Big Brother 1 the name of the channel was simply Big Brother Live, but its name was changed into Nova+ after the start of the first season of Star Academy Bulgaria on 11 April 2005.

Nova+ was closed down on 31 January 2008, when Modern Times Group bought the Nova Television and Diema groups from ANT1 Group and Balkan Media Group Limited.
