In October of the same year, the RTT retransmitted from Bizerte the congress of the Destourian Socialist Party, the presentation of which was entrusted to Malika Ben Khamsa.

In this context, it is developing cooperation with French-speaking television, in particular Télévision Suisse Romande, which provided it with programs and welcomed trainees in its Geneva studios.

The sale of color television sets skyrocketed during the 1978 FIFA World Cup, where Tunisia took part.
