RTP Madeira is a Portuguese free-to-air regional television channel owned and operated by state-owned public broadcaster Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP) in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. It began broadcasting on 6 August 1972.

It is broadcast in the Madeira Islands and via cable and satellite in the Azores Islands and continental Portugal. RTP Madeira serves as a regional opt-out to the national public television channel, RTP1.

History

RTP planned the start of a television service in Madeira as early as 1971, but the building of the transmitters was delayed due to adverse climatic conditions. The first experimental broadcasts were conducted on June 30, 1972, with regular broadcasts starting on August 6.[1]
