ITN - Independent Television Network (Sri Lanka) - information

The Independent Television Network  (ITN) is the pioneer Television station in Sri Lanka. Started operations on 13th April 1979. With very modest beginnings, and very basic equipment comprising a 1KW transmitter and a 65 foot antenna mast, ITN beamed programs to a radius of about 15 miles in and around Colombo.  In 1992 ITN was converted to a public company under State jurisdiction.

ITN now has a daily transmission of 18 hours. There is also a small component of English programs mainly feature films and dramas with worldwide appeal. On the Engineering side, five transmitting stations spread throughout the Island. They cover most parts of the Island. With the establishment of another transmitting station in the central hilly region it is expected that ITN programs will cover the entire Island
