History [ edit ]

Formed in 1986 when the previous Algerian Radio and Television company (established in 1962) was split into four enterprises. ^[5] The origins of Algerian radio go back to the clandestine station that the National Liberation Front launched in December 1956, and which was active during the war of independence . At its conclusion in 1962, Algeria became independent from France and the transitional government nationalized the media to form a new company, Radiodiffusion-television algerienne  [ fr ] (RTA), which took over the functions of the old Radiodiffusion-Television Francaise (RTF) on October 28, 1962. then with three radio stations and a television channel. Three years later it expanded its coverage throughout the national territory.

Algerian Radio became a public industrial and commercial establishment (EPIC) by executive decree no. 91-102 of April 20, 1991. A specification defining the missions of Algerian radio was also published in April 1991. ^[6]
