Radio Television Brunei (RTB)

Radio Television Brunei (RTB) was born in 1957. Half a century later it has come a long way from those pioneering days. Of course, back then, RTB was only about Radio, but it was proud of its transmission of TV in full color being added to the organization's repertoire in 1975. The arrival of television in 1975 not only provided a wide range of new opportunities for new services, but also related challenges in terms of developing or acquiring technical and production abilities using Information Technology capabilities. As a government owned broadcasting station, Radio Television Brunei is one of the key means of communication between His Majesty's Government and the people of Brunei Darussalam. Therefore, this media communication is a prime mission of RTB. The impact of social media in the 21st century has arrived with a need to address the challenges of the globalisation, information and communication technology age. In the era of digitalisation, RTB felt the impact of digital technology in all walks of life. The trends of broadcasting and IT industry are changing very fast due to the development and convergence of digital technology. Consequently, RTB's mission changed to: "To inform, to entertain, to educate, to inspire and to interact anytime, anywhere and in any way".
