Radio Televisión Madrid S.A. (RTVM) is the public broadcaster of the Community of Madrid.

History

The Ente Público Radio Televisión Madrid was created by means of a 1984 law,[1] during the government of Joaquín Leguina, with the endorsement of all parliamentary forces.[2] The Onda Madrid radio station began its broadcast on 18 February 1985.[3] Telemadrid began its broadcast on 2 May 1989.[4]

In 2015, the regional government of Cristina Cifuentes lined up a plan to transform the ente público into a sociedad anónima. The sociedad anónima Radio Televisión Madrid was thus created in 2016 by means of a law passed by the Assembly of Madrid in December 2015,[5][6] and the S.A. assumed full control over the regional broadcasting services on 17 March 2017,[7] inheriting the assets of the Ente Público as well as Telemadrid and Onda Madrid,[8] transferred by means of a merging by absorption.[9][7]
