RTVM

Radio Television Malichka (RTVM) (Slovene: is the public media service in Malichka. Founded 1935 as Radio Malička, it's the oldest broadcaster in Malichka. As a government department under the Ministry of Broadcasting and Culture and Parliament, RTVM's educational, entertainment, and public affairs programmes are broadcast on its nine radio channels and five television channels, as well as commercial television channels. Unlike other public broadcasters like the BBC and NHK, which are primarily funded by licence fees, RTVM is directly supported by annual government funding.

History
The Malichkan Government launched its first radio broadcasting station, known as "RK" (Radio Kralj), on 30 June 1935, with a starting staff of only six people. Several name changes occurred over the next few years, and it eventually became known as "Radio Malichka" (RM) (馬列基亞廣播電台) in 1948.

In 1949, broadcasting operations were taken over by the Government Information Services (GIS), but by 1954, Radio Malichka had managed to establish itself as an independent department. Up until 1966, the radio station was only on-air for three periods during the day; at morning, lunchtime, and evening. This was partly due to many of the presenters being part-time freelancers who had to fit their radio appearances in with their normal daily working schedule.

In 1969, the station's medium wave AM transmitting station was moved from a waterfront site in Hirbismrekovi to the summit of Golden Hill in Šestsmrek state. Although the new transmitters were much more powerful, the mountain-top site proved unsuitable for medium wave transmissions and reception in some areas has remained problematic ever since. In March 1969, RM moved its headquarters to new purpose-built studios located at Broadcasting House (廣播大廈) in Devetzmajev state.

A Public Affairs Television Unit was established in 1970 to produce TV programmes for required broadcast by independent channels. At that time, RM did not have its own television broadcast transmitters.

In 1973, RTVM set up its own radio newsroom. Prior to this, all news had been prepared by Government Information Services staff. Until 1969, headlines were sent to the studios every half-hour by teleprinter from the GIS headquarters in Central District, while the three daily full bulletins were hand-delivered by a messenger. This arrangement became impractical following the move to the new studios in 1969, so initially a GIS newsroom was set up in Broadcasting House. This arrangement also proved unsatisfactory and RTVM's own journalists, who until then had been confined to producing magazine programmes, took over the entire news operation.
