History:

Television transmission in Jordan started in black and white in April 1968 from one studio, with three hours of programming.

The following years witnessed several milestones for JTV. In 1972, it became the first station in the region to operate a second channel, Channel 2, which specialized in foreign programmes, including a news bulletin in English.

In 1974, JTV started transmission in full colors using the PAL-B system, and in 1975, transmission was expanded to cover the entire Kingdom.

Along with the English programmes on Channel 2, JTV started transmission of French news bulletins and programmes in 1978.

In 1985, Jordan Radio and Jordan Television merged to form Jordan Radio and Television Corporation.

AMRA earth station was established in 1988 and was linked to the satellites: Eutelsat, Intelsat, and Arabsat.

In 1993, the Jordan Satellite Channel was launched and in 1998, a third channel was launched, Channel 3, which was devoted to transmitting the Parliamentary sessions and local and international sports.

In January 2001, the corporation underwent major restructuring. Programmes of Channel 1 and 2 were combined in one main channel. Channel 2 specialized in sports, while Channel 3 was operated in cooperation with the private sector, on the basis of two transmission periods: the morning and afternoon “Cartoon Channel” and the evening “Jordan Movie Channel”.
