The nine-metre earth station was constructed in 1997 and it transmits the programmes of MRTV (Yangon) and content providers such as Channel K, YTV, Fortune TV and private FMs to MRTV in Tatkon, Nay Pyi Taw via fibre optic cables and satellite.
On arrival at the 200-metre tower, they inspected the strength of the tower, analogue and DVB-T2 transmitter, FM transmitter, MRTV DAB+ and radio transmitters.
The 200-metre tower was jointly established by MRTV and Shwe Than Lwin Company in 2012 and became operational in 2015. It broadcasts MRTV Analogue, DVB-T2 channels, MRTV FM, MRTV DAB+, channels of Shwe Than Lwin Co Ltd and Forever Group Co Ltd and private FMs. — MNA
