RTNI Television

RTNI Television is the national public television network of New Ingrea. The network was founded as the National Television Service under the provisions of the Television Broadcasting Act of 1963, and was the first television network to be launched when it went on air in February 1964. Today, RTNI Television is the largest of the three networks that operate in New Ingrea, and has it's headquarters and primary playout centre at the RTNI Media Centre, Kingsbury.

History

Initially, the three stations that formed the network operated with a degree of independence from one another. This was made necessary by the limited availability of microwave and satellite connections in the early and mid 1960s. However, by the late 60s, it was possible for the stations to communicate instantly, and many services and productions were centralised.
