Office de Radiodiffusion et Télévision du Bénin (ORTB) is a mainstream terrestrial television channel and radio operator in Benin.

[1] The idea of a national television network first emerged in 1964, when the government signed an agreement with ORTF to provide technical training in Paris.

With the change of regime (President Émile Derlin Zinsou was deposed on 10 December 1969), the plan was halted.

[2] Wishing to put Dahomey, which had returned to relative political stability, at the same technical level as its West African neighbors, President Pompidou's France relaunched the process via French cooperation and delivered to Cotonou the television production and broadcasting infrastructures in the course of the year 1972.

The Dahomean government then created the Dahomey Radio and Television Office (ORTD) by law 72-43 of October 20, 1972, of which the structure and operation are modeled on the ORTF.
