History
Radio began its activity in Burundi in 1961 with Radio Burundi, when the country was still a Belgian colony. Television made its debut, however, in 1984, long after its independence.[1] The television station broadcast using a 0.5 kW transmitter in Bujumbura on UHF channel 25.[2] Among its founding staff was Rwandan-born Valence Rwamukwaya, who was working on Burundi's national radio since 1982.[3]
RTNB operates two radio stations and a television channel, which offer educational and information programs, as well as TV series, talk shows, cartoons and other entertainment programs.[4]
In June 2013, Burundi began operations for the migration of television from analogue to digital technology, which was completed by the end of 2014.[5]
