TVMonaco
TVMonaco (TVM) is the state-owned television station in Monaco, that launched on 1 September 2023. It broadcasts a range of programmes, including news, talk shows, and documentaries, designed to showcase and promote Monégasque culture. History
The idea of a national Monégasque public channel emerged in the principality in 2021, with the aim of recovering Monaco's international communications, after RMC moved to Paris in 2002 and the 100% acquisition of TMC by the TF1 Group in June 2016. Initially named Monte-Carlo Riviera TV, it was originally planned to launch in late 2022, however, it was delayed to the third quarter of 2023. On 23 March 2023, a new name and launch date were announced for the channel. The channel was renamed TVMonaco and officially launched on 1 September 2023. New details about the service were announced on 18 April 2023. The programming consists of live news and sports with recorded programming for the rest of the day. Said content currently consists of unscripted programming, but plans to add scripted programming within 12 to 18 months from launch. Emphasis is also given to environmental concerns and wildlife in Monaco. The channel is available in both linear and digital platforms. TVMonaco, which is funded in part by the state, in part through advertising and sales of the programs it produces, will become a member of TV5Monde, allowing its content to be broadcast in 200 countries. The channel announced on social media on 17 August 2023 that the first broadcast would be on 1 September 2023 at 19:15. The opening broadcast saw the presence of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene. TVMonaco is a member of Monaco Media Diffusion, the broadcasting company which represents Monaco in the European Broadcasting Union. References
