Radio Televisyen Malaysia or RTM is a Malaysian government-owned public broadcaster which owns and operates a number of radio and television stations in Malaysia. At present, RTM runs 8 national, 16 state, 7 district radio stations and 2 television channels. The main motto from 1987 until 2004 was Teman Setia Anda (Your loyal friend). As of 2007, RTM controls about 17% of the television viewing market in the country, behind Media Prima with 54% and Astro with 29%.[1]

In 2005, the Ministry of Information announced their plan to digitalise nationwide free-to-air TV broadcasts led by RTM.[2] Trial broadcasts were undertaken, involving one thousand households in the Klang Valley from September 2006 till February 2007. According to the then-Deputy Minister of Information, Chia Kwang Chye, the trial received "very positive" feedback, i.e. "more than 60 percent said the quality of the signal ranged from good to very good. Over 88 percent said the picture quality improved, while 70 percent said the sound quality was better."[3]

RTM has prepared at least three new channels exclusively for DTV, namely RTMi, Muzik Aktif dan Arena, besides the two existing channels – TV1 and TV2 – via a multiplex which is transmitted at UHF channel 44, modulated at 64QAM.[4] Though the trials had been long over, the digital channels are (said to be) still active in test forms.

In addition, RTM would introduce regional TV channels for each state and territory in Malaysia, in such that each of these regions will have its own dedicated TV channel with localised content compared to national TV, making it about 20 TV channels for a digitised RTM[5]as part of the state broadcaster's three-year restructuring plan.[6] According to Information Minister Dato Ahmad Shabery Cheek, RTM is expected to launch its DTV services nationally in 2009.[7]
