Description
Summary:The only established broadcast medium in Bhutan is the national radio. However, other channels of broadcast such as satellite and free-to-air television from neighbouring countries have already started making a mark in several parts of Bhutan. The Internet is also poised to be introduced soon. In order to expand its own broadcasting services for developmental, social and political purposes while containing the excessive infiltration of these channels of broadcast, Bhutan plans to launch a national television station in the near future.
