Gambia Radio & Television Service currently broadcasts in English and native local languages.
The history of GRTS stems from the merger of the older and more established Radio Gambia and the rather recent Television Channel.
In December 1995, GRTS was commissioned by the Gambian government which began test transmissions under the Gambia Telecommunications Company (Gamtel).
The Station's programmes are mostly news, public service announcements, education, entertainment and religious related (Islam and Christianity only, mostly Islam and nothing on Traditional African religion).
[2] In 2010, the station was awarded the National Order of the Republic of the Gambia with the rank of commander.
