Television in the Maldives
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Television was introduced in the Maldives on March 29, 1978, being picked up by an audience of 90 television sets in Male, the national capital.[1] Until 2008, the Maldives only had Television Maldives as its national broadcaster.
Future TV, the first private television channel, launched on June 6, 2008, followed by DhiTV on July 1 and VTV on September 5. The introduction of private television came after restrictions on independent media in the country were lifted.[2]
