RTM TV1 is the oldest and most iconic TV channel in Malaysia, having been around since 1963. As part of Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) under the Ministry of Communications and funded by the government, it serves as the country’s official voice, focusing on news, education, and keeping local cultural values alive.
Reliable news and family-friendly shows
The heart of RTM TV1 is its trustworthy news, like Berita Perdana, and its segments dedicated to debunking fake news. Families also love the channel for its "Widuri" drama slot and "Panggung RTM" movies, which focus on moral and heartwarming stories safe for all ages. Since Malaysia is a multi-ethnic country, the channel always provides subtitles and content in different languages so everyone can follow along.
Getting access to RTM TV1 is pretty simple and completely free through the myFreeview digital service on channel 101. If you're more into streaming, you can use the RTM Klik app or the MYTV Mana-mana platform to watch live on your phone or laptop.
