The Assyrian people, most commonly known as Assyrians and other later names, such as: Chaldeans, Syrians, Syriacs (see names of Syriac Christians), are a distinct ethnic group whose origins lie in ancient Mesopotamia. They are Eastern Aramaic speaking Semites who trace their ancestry back to the Sumero-Akkadian civilisation that emerged in Mesopotamia circa 4000- 3500 BC, and in particular to the northern region of the Akkadian lands, which would become known as Assyria by the 24th Century BC. The Assyrian nation existed as an independent state, and often a powerful empire, from the 24th century BC until the end of the 7th century BC.

Today that ancient territory is part of several nations; Assyria remained a Geo-political entity after its fall, and was ruled as an occupied province under the rule of various empires from the late 7th century BC until the mid 7th century AD when it was dissolved, and the Assyrian people have gradually become a minority in their homelands since that time. They are indigenous to, and have traditionally lived all over what is now Iraq, north east Syria, north west Iran, and Southeastern Turkey. They are predominantly Christian.

Assyria TV, formerly known as The Hujada TV project or Hujåda TV project, is an Assyrian TV project starting of with web-TV. Assyria TV is based in Stockholm, Sweden. The project was financed by all the Assyrian federations in Sweden. The project began in March 2011. In September 2011 a special organization, AMI Assyriska Mediainstitutet (Assyrian Media Institute) was found. AMI's task was to manage Assyria TV once the project was complete and broadcasting had begun. Assyria TV started its test broadcasting in December 2011. An official opening was held on February 5th, and since then the Webb-TV has rapidly been updating its broadcasting.

Following a joint decision between the Assyrian associations in Sweden, the idea that had existed for a long time was initiated. The idea was to create a new Assyrian media platform that could reach out to all groups within the Assyrian population. The new project was named "Hujada TV (Unity TV)", and would include all the activities that would be behind the construction of the upcoming service. A plan alongside a budget was set, and the federations formed the conditions necessary for the execution of the project. Right people for the project were found and hired, to be part of the project working group and to be future employees of the TV once fully functional. Several support groups were also formed to help the project group and to help out with external necessities. One of the factors behind this effort was that the federations did not consider the existing TV channels to be sufficient enough and that they were not considered capable to strengthen the Assyrian Movement and the Assyrian culture. It was clear that actions were needed to be taken.
