The Établissement de la Radiodiffusion-Télévision Tunisienne (ERTT) – French for Tunisian Radio and Television Establishment – was Tunisia's state broadcasting organization from 1990 until 2007 before it was split into the Tunisian Television Establishment and the Tunisian Radio Establishment. It operated two national television channels (Télévision Tunisienne 1 and El Wataniya 2) and several radio networks (like Radio Tunis).[1]

ERTT offered services in Tunisian Arabic, Arabic, French, Italian and Turkish.

History[]

Created by the decree of 25 April 1957,[2] RTT becomes ERTT by the law of 7 May 1990. It was a shareholder in Euronews,[3] a member of the European Broadcasting Union[4] and the African Union of Broadcasting, and the flagship member of the Arab States Broadcasting Union. On 7 November 2006, President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali announces the split of the establishment into two separate entities: Tunisian Radio Establishment (Arabic: مؤسسة الإذاعة التونسية) and Tunisian Television Establishment (Arabic: مؤسسة التلفزة التونسية). This split becomes effective on 31 August 2007.[5] Both ERTT successor companies are members of the EBU, AUB and ASBU.
