Radio Televisyen Malaysia, also known as RTM, is a state-owned entity headquartered in Malaysia. As a tier 2 media tech buyer, the organization reported $5.5M in revenue as of 2024, and employs approximately 310 individuals. Established in 1946, it functions as Malaysia's public broadcaster, primarily offering broadcast television and radio services. Operating as a department under the Ministry of Communications, it manages a comprehensive network of 7 television channels—including TV1, TV2, Sukan RTM, and Berita RTM—alongside 34 radio stations nationwide. Its mission involves informing, educating, and entertaining the public, disseminating government policies, and promoting national culture and unity. The network broadcasts in multiple languages, including Malay, English, Chinese, and Tamil, and extends its services globally through the RTM Klik over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform.
On July 7, 2026, Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) participated in the ABU ConFEST 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, a conference gathering executives and media professionals from public broadcasters across the Asia-Pacific and beyond, including the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the European Broadcasting Union. The event, held from July 7-9, focused on the relevance of public service media in an AI-driven information environment, emphasizing trust as a core value. This followed Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd's share climb on June 29, spurred by news of RTM's renewed partnership with the pay-television operator. Earlier on June 29, Astro made peace with RTM, resolving a dispute widely believed to have contributed to the sudden departure of Astro Group CEO Euan Smith, with discussions focusing on the possibility of Astro sub-licensing FIFA World Cup matches from rights holders RTM and Telekom Malaysia’s Unifi. RTM had reversed its decision on June 26 to withdraw its television channels from the Astro platform, instead agreeing to expand its partnership. Separately, on June 24, RTM modernized its Kelantan FM radio station in Kota Bharu, deploying a fully IP-based broadcast infrastructure centered on the Calrec Type R mixing platform, serving listeners via its 102.9MHz service and the RTMKlik digital platform.
