History

The Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française began the broadcasting of Télévision Algérienne on 24 December 1956 in the French departments of Algeria by inaugurating its first 819-line VHF television transmitter installed Cap Matifou, in front of Algiers, that is retired of fifteen kilometers of distance. The initial output of the Matifou transmitter was of 3 kW, later increased to 29 kW in May 1957. A direct link was established from the French mainland to Algeria on 14 July 1960 (Bastille Day) and its regular broadcasts started by year-end 1960.

Établissement national de télévision, the owner of Télévision Algérienne, is the most important media organ in Algeria. It is a public information and communication institution that carries out the main tasks determined by a book of conditions whereby it monitors the official activities of state institutions by reporting and broadcasting as required by the public interest of the country. The sovereignty of the Establishment was restored from the French colonization on 28 October 1962, after the independence of Algeria on 5 July 1962. A post-independence protocol between ENTV and its French counterpart was signed on 23 January 1963, eyeing technical cooperation between the two sides.

Télévision Algérienne was the only national television channel in Algeria until 1994 when Canal Algérie (now TV2), a French version of its main channel, using the Hot Bird and Astra satellites, was launched for Algerian immigrants who wanted news of the bled (homeland). On 5 July 2001, a third channel A3, joined the ensemble, followed on 18 March 2009 by two new channels: Channel 4 and Coran TV ENTV.
