Media in Kwitzka

The mass media in Kwitzka consist of radio, television, newspapers and Internet. The country's first private mass media companies started operating around the 1980s with a few local radio stations and newspapers. The Kwitzkan government promises freedom of media for all private media outlets.
== Television ==
TV stations in Kwitzka are broadcast on DVB-T and some channels on DVB-C. TV is available nearly everywhere in Kwitzka, with only extremely remote areas of Ghriqti rëjön not having access to some TV channels. Below is a list of all TV channels broadcast on DVB-T in Kwitzka.
Analog TV has been switched off in favour of DVB-T in 2005, starting in Nördsën in January and ending in November in the country's southern provinces of Sënnägläfi, Ösinägläfi and Nqlät.
=== Terrestrial TV ===
Terrestrial TV in Kwitzka uses primarely the DVB-T system, introduced in November of 2000 in Nqlät as a test, commencing regular broadcasting in 2003 country-wide. HD is far more popular in Kwitzka as it is possible to allocate due to the relatively low number of TV channels in Kwitzka broadcasting on terrestrial TV.

== Radio ==
Radio is very popular in Kwitzka, with over 78% of people living in Kwitzka listening to radio daily. The most popular radio stations in Kwitzka are KMF, Radiö Ërti and 1-Radiöën. The most popular generes of radios in Kwitzka are pop music and dance music.
=== FM ===
FM radio stations in Kwitzka are allowed to use even frequencies, 87.5 MHz and 107.9 MHz. There is only a single radio station broadcasting on 107.9 MHz, Radiö Aurora in Nqlät. There were plans to allow the usage of all uneven frequencies, most recently in 2022, but they have not been approved as of now.
=== AM ===
Kwitzka has a number of stations broadcasting in AM, mostly in the MW spectrum. All but one of these stations are owned by the state broadcaster Kwitzka Radiöën. 
Plans to phase out AM radio have been brought to KR's management, however KR has publicly stated that they have no intention of shutting down any of its AM broadcasting stations in the foreseeable future.
=== DAB+ ===
DAB+ has 3 main multiplexes in Kwitzka: the Kwitzka Radiöën MUX, broadcasting 1-Radiöën, 2-Radiöën, 3-Radiöën, the local radio station and occasionally other radio stations from Kwitzka and abroad, the Ërti Group and Power Hit MUX, broadcasting various radio stations of these companies (12D), and the KMF Group MUX (9C).
Smaller DAB+ multiplexes also exist in Kwitzka, most noteably the Lokal Radiö MUX, broadcasting in Nqlät and parts of the Sënnägläfi and Ösinägläfi provinces on the 11B channel.
=== Assigning frequencies ===
Frequencies are assigned by QRK. Frequencies can either be given out as a competition between already existing networks and possibly new radio stations and entities requesting a frequency from a given broadcasting site. Local radio stations are generally given a pass at acquiring new frequencies, while large country-wide networks generally need to request a frequency. A radio network can only request up to 2 frequencies at once.
Frequencies are generally assigned from the lowest to the highest, which is the reason for few radio stations using frequencies above 104 MHz.
Radio station networks can request to be assigned frequencies between which they can operate, such as KMF broadcasting between 95.0 MHz and 98.0 MHz country-wide. This practice has became rare since the 2000s.
