History

In 2002, Mosaddque Ali Falu applied for a license of RTV. According to Falu, the channel's chairman, the 'R' comes from his daughter's name, Roza Ali.[2] The channel commenced full transmissions on 26 December 2005.

On 26 February 2007, a fire broke out at the BSEC building, causing over 100 injuries. As a result, both RTV and its sister, along with the unrelated Islamic TV, were temporarily taken off air.[3] All three of those channels resumed broadcasting after some time.

On 31 October 2014, as a result of another fire at the BSEC Building, both RTV and its sister once again went off the air temporarily, but resumed transmissions overtime.[4]
