Nepal Television(NTV) began its regular transmission towards the end of 1985 on an experiment basis, and became a full fledged corporation under the Communication Act of His Majesty's Government in 1986. In the media history of Nepal, NTV has maintained a steady pace in its network development. Its signal, in the beginning, covered only the valley of Kathmandu. The second and third phase of expansion enabled access to NTV's signal to 22% of the population. The popularity of NTV grew to such an extent that it resulted in the hastening of the Organization's fourth phase of expansion. A separate transmitter to cover Banke and Bardia was also established in Kohalpur. By the end of 1998 the station in Kohalpur will be linked to the central station. Currently the signal covers 32% of the population and 44% of the country's land area.
