Nepal Television (Nepali: नेपाल टेलिभिजन)[1] (commonly known as NTV) is the oldest and most watched television channel in Nepal. For many years this was the only television channel from Nepal. The news broadcast at 8:00 p.m. is the channel's most popular show, followed by comedy program Sakkigoni, Mundre Ko Comedy Club and Meri Bassai.
It also has four sister channels, NTV PLUS, NTV News, NTV Kohalpur and all owned by the Nepalese government. The network started broadcasting in HD from 31 January 2019.
Several attempts are being made by media stakeholders to convert and transform NTV into a truly Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) entity. NTV, being currently owned by the government, has lost its editorial independence and is blamed for continuously being a government mouthpiece. As the country's oldest television channel, a need for transforming its operation into the hands of the public is realized by media experts in Nepal. Mr.Nir Shah was the first chairman.
