Eri-TV

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eri-TV is short for Eritrean television and nominally refers to Eri-TV1, the first television channel broadcasted in Eritrea. Broadcasts began in January 1993 with the help of a team of Canadians.[1]

Eri-TV1 is broadcast internationally via satellite along with its sister radio station, Dimtsi Hafash. Broadcasts on Eri-TV1 are typically either news, music videos, or dramas. Both domestic and international films also play on the channel.

Eri-TV1 is broadcast in Tigrinya, Arabic, English and Amharic, as well as some programming in Somali and Afaan Oromoo.

Eri-TV2 which is broadcast only domestically provides mostly educational content. This includes, English, math and science lessons.
