The Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française began the broadcasting of Télévision Algérienne on December 24, 1956 in the French departments of Algeria by inaugurating its first VHF television transmitter of 819 installed Cap Matifou, in front of Algiers, that is retired of fifteen kilometers of distance.[1]

Établissement national de télévision, the owner of Télévision Algérienne, is the most important media organ in Algeria. It is a public information and communication institution that carries out the main tasks determined by a book of conditions whereby it monitors the official activities of state institutions by reporting and broadcasting as required by the public interest of the country. The sovereignty of the Establishment was restored from the French colonization on 28 October 1962, after the independence of Algeria on 5 July 1962.[2][3]

Télévision Algérienne was the only national television channel in Algeria until 1994 when Canal Algérie (now TV2), a French version of its big sister, launched by the satellites Hot Bird and Astra, was launched for Algerian immigrants who wanted news of the corn. On 5 July 2001, a third channel A3, joined the ensemble, followed on 18 March 2009 by two new channels: Channel 4 and Coran TV ENTV.
