TDM offers 24-hour analogue radio services under the callsign of Rádio Macau, in Portuguese on 98.0 MHz FM and Cantonese and Mandarin on 100.7 MHz FM.

It also offers terrestrial analogue television services: Canal 1 (Channel 1) in Portuguese, and Canal 2 (Channel 2) in Cantonese and Mandarin.

[edit] Transmissions

Local programmes on the Portuguese service of Rádio Macau begins from 07:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, and from 08:00 to 20:00 at weekends. Programmes from Antena 1 of RDP are relayed for the rest of the time.

The Cantonese and Mandarin service of Rádio Macau is also 24-hours, with total local programme outputs.

Local programmes on Canal 1 broadcast from around 19:00 on weekdays until 01:00, and longer hours at weekends. Programmes from the international service of the Rádio e Televisão Portuguesa (RTP Internacional) are usually relayed for other times, except for football matches. The Catholic Mass is broadcast live on Sunday mornings at the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady. These make Canal 1 a 24-hour television service.

Transmissions of Canal 2 are divided into three major blocks. Breakfast news is broadcast from 07:15 to 09:00 on Mondays to Saturdays; afternoon and prime time programmes from around 12:30 until about 01:30. Transmissions may begin earlier on Sundays, and are longer for live coverage of matches such as the English FA Premier League or the Italian Football Championship. At other times when programmes are not transmitted, continuous financial information from Reuters will be displayed, with the broadcast of Rádio Macau on 100.7 MHz FM as the background sound.
