Cameroon Radio Television (CRTV) is a major radio and television broadcasting company in Cameroon. CRTV is a government-controlled radio and television service in Cameroon. It started as Cameroon Television (CTV) and later merged with the radio service to become known as CRTV. It covers all the ten regions of Cameroon rendering it the indomitable broadcaster amongst a number of private television stations in the country. Its coverage of events is generally viewed as pro government. On 29 June 2016, Charles Ndongo was named new General Manager of CRTV by a presidential decree. He replaced Ahmadou Valmouke at a time when the country was on the verge of switching to a digital Television Platform. CRTV and the African Union of Broadcasting settled a dispute over fees for broadcasting the Africa Cup of Nations in Yaoundé in 2019.

Much of the coverage is done in French, although there is some English programming as well, given that the country is bilingual. CRTV programmes include home-produced documentaries, magazines, news analysis, and imported series from Asia and Brazil. Broadcasting began in Cameroon in 1940, after the French government opened the first radio station in Douala, Radio Douala, also known as l’enfant de la Guerre (the Child of War) and having as its first transmitter a radius of 150 watts. This station was a means of propaganda for Free France. Then, a 1KW transmitter was installed in 1950 in order to increase its hearing efficiency. 6 years later, this station came under the control of the Société de Radiodiffusion de la France d’Outre-mer (SORAFOM), created to promote the production of programs by local populations. SORAFOM will be responsible for installing 02 radio transmitters of 1KW medium wave and 4KW short wave in Yaoundé and in other regions of the country. In July 1955, Radio Cameroon was officially born.
