Television in Algeria
Television services in the North African nation of Algeria commenced in 1956, when the country was a department of France, under French broadcaster RTF. Shortly after independence, both television and radio were taken over by Algerian Radio and Television (Radiodiffusion-Télévision Algérienne; RTA). Since then, television began to expand throughout Algeria, with more than 53,000 television sets in use in the country as of 1963, a year after independence.[1][2] Algeria is one of the first countries in Africa to publicly introduce television.
