MRTV, Myanma Radio and Television is a free-to-air television channel that mainly broadcasts Local news. Radio service in Myanmar first came on air in 1936 during the British colonial era. Regular programming by Bama Athan began in February 1946 when the British established Burma Broadcasting Service (BBS), carrying Burmese language national and foreign news and musical entertainment, knowledge reply and school lessons and English language news and music programming. After independence in 1948, it was named Myanma Athan . The service was renamed Myanmar Radio in 1988. The junta has also renamed the radio service's parent, BBS as Myanmar Radio and Television (MRTV) in 1997. Until the launch of Yangon City FM in 2001, BBS/Myanmar Radio was the only radio station in the country. For years, its main broadcast center is at 426 Pyay Road in Kamayut in Yangon. Since late 2007, the main broadcast station has moved to Naypyidaw. Yangon Station now mostly relays Naypyidaw Station's programming. Television service in Myanmar was first introduced in 1979 as a test trial in Yangon. MRTV was first launched on 3 June 1980, and regular television service was first formally launched in 1981.Subscribe by Email
