With a broadcasting history that spans over seven decades, Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) has rightfully become the household word when it comes to informing, educating and entertaining the public, as well as shaping the thinking of Malaysians.

And, before the advent of digital and pay-TV operators, it was terrestrial free-to-air stations in the likes of RTM that enabled Malaysians to watch major local and international sporting events from the comfort of their living rooms.
