Lao National Television
Lao National Television (officially abbreviated as TNL LNTV, Lao: ໂທລະພາບແຫ່ງຊາດລາວ (ສທລ) (ທຊລ), romanized: Tholaphap Heng Xat Lao) is the national television station of the country of Laos. It is divided into 2 television channels, LNTV1 and LNTV3. The network's logo is based on the national symbol – Pha That Luang. LNTV has broadcast in English, French, Khmer, Thai and Lao languages.[1] HistoryLong before the creation of LNTV, Laotians had access to overspill television signals from neighboring Thailand.[2] Lao National Television was established and began broadcasting television programs on December 1, 1983. At that time, the television station carried out pilot broadcasts twice a week, and later gradually increased the broadcast time.[3] At the beginning of its operations, LNTV broadcast only in Vientiane with Soviet support. Resources to operate the station were poor, coupled by the country's geographic and economical problems, with a small number of viewers having access to the channel and its schedule lasted for an average of two to three hours per evening.[4] On September 2, 2015, Lao National Television signed a cooperation agreement with Vietnam Television, and Lao National Television started producing and broadcasting Vietnamese-language news programs[5] In September 2019, with the aid of China, LNTV Channel 3 was upgraded from standard definition to high definition.[6] Channels
