Television of Mauritania
The Television of Mauritania (acronym TVM, Arabic: التلفزة الموريتانية, French: Télévision de Mauritanie) is Mauritania's national state-owned public service television broadcaster. Currently, the broadcaster is a member of the Arab States Broadcasting Union (ASBU).
Television broadcasts started in Mauritania with a project supported by Iraqi funding in 1980 before being officially inaugurated in September 1982 as part of the Office of Radio Television of Mauritania (ORTM), with programs and bulletins being broadcast from ORTM's studios. Color television was introduced in 1984.
Television de Mauritania became autonomous from Radio Mauritanie on 10 July 1984, starting then to broadcast independently from its own studios. In 1990, TVM became a public establishment of an industrial and commercial nature (EPIC) in 1990, later changing to a public establishment of an administrative nature (EPA) in 1991.
TVM started broadcasting on Arabsat's satellites in October 1992 for four and a half hours a day, with it later expanding to 10 hours in June 1997 and 24 hours in late 2005. TVM first started broadcasting on Arabsat-2A, with it later using Badr-4 around 2004 in order to reach a wider audience in the Middle East and Africa, where it has been broadcasting since.
TVM was an associate member of the European Broadcasting Union from 2003 to 2013.
On 13 October 2007 TVM launched a second channel branded as TVM Plus, now known as El Mouritaniya 2.
In 2015 a project to create an educational TV channel broadcasting university lectures in cooperation with the University of Nouakchott was presented by the Minister of Higher Education, albeit it didn't finally launch.
On 26 October 2017, the Council of Ministers agreed on creating a sports and a cultural channel: Arriadia was launched on 28 November 2017 (Independence Day), while Athagavia was launched on 1 December 2017 during the Ancient Cities Festival held in Tichitt.
