History
Lhasa was served by a cable radio station from 1953 to 1958, the People's Broadcasting Station of Tibet, installed by the government. The existing Lhasa station borrowed a 3,5 kW shortwave transmitter on December 28, 1958 and converted to a wireless station on January 1, 1959.[1] In 1973, the Mandarin and Tibetan programmes began to air on separate radio stations.
A preparing group for Tibetan television was created in October 1976, with the filming of a documentary, Jubilant Plateau, under the name "Tibet Television".[1] The first test broadcast was conducted on May 1, 1978, in black and white. The same team started conducting color broadcasts on October 1, 1979.[2][1][3]: 93
Tibet Television under Voice of Tibet was launched on August 20, 1985, with the name being signed by Deng Xiaoping in Mandarin and Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme in Tibetan. At the time, it broadcast a one-channel general service in both languages.[4]
