Televisión Melilla

Televisión Melilla, commonly known as TVM, is the public television channel of the Spanish autonomous city of Melilla. It is operated by the public company RTV Melilla, which is owned by the Ciudad Autónoma de Melilla. The channel's mission is to provide news, cultural and entertainment content that reflects the social and cultural reality of the city. Its programming is varied and adapted to the interests of Melilla residents, combining news, entertainment, sports and culture, with a strong emphasis on local content. TVM began broadcasting on 8 July 1994 under the name INMUSA (Información Municipal Melilla, S.A.). In its early years, programming focused on local and cultural content, with particular attention to the city's linguistic diversity. In 2014, on its 20th anniversary, the channel paid tribute to Paco Platero, founder of Tele9, a precursor of the current Televisión Melilla. Over the years, TVM has evolved technologically, notably with the digitization of its audiovisual archive in 2018, with an investment of 172,000 euros to preserve more than 20,000 units in various formats. The channel's visual identity is characterized by blue and turquoise tones, reflecting modernity and closeness. Its current logo features clean typography and a minimalist design, with a stylized letter "M" symbolizing the connection with the city and its people. TVM offers a range of programmes including news bulletins such as TVM Noticias and El Reloj de la Ciudad, cultural and entertainment shows like Cultura Viva, Rostros de Melilla, Caña y Carrete and Queremos la tarde, and sports coverage with El Balón Melillense. It also produces special programming for major local events, including Semana Santa (with the programme Tiempo de Pasión), Ramadan (El Paraíso de Ramadán), the Feria de Melilla, and the Semana de Cine de Melilla. The broadcaster operates the website tvmelilla.es and the streaming platform Play Melilla, where viewers can watch live TV, access programmes, create lists and add favourites. The current president is D. Sebastián Alarcón Vallés, with a board comprising vice-president D. Francisco José Díaz García and councillors Doña Touria El Miri Aissaoui, Doña Marta Marzol Jaén, D. Abdelmalik Mohamed Abdel-Lah, D. Hassan Mohatar Maanan, Doña Fátima Mohamed Kaddur and D. Eder Barandiarán Calvo.
