==History==
===Radio===
Cape Verde's radio services began in the 1930s as Rádio Colonial Portuguesa, broadcasting news and sporting events. After independence from Portugal in 1975, RCV replaced its overseas section of RDP. Later, more radio affiliates were established on other islands, including Rádio Voz de São Vicente.https://web.archive.org/web/20180121072139/http://www.rtc.cv/rcv/index.php?paginas=68 The first radio broadcasts in Cape Verde were made in the country's colonies.
===Television===
In March 1997, the former radio and television corporations were merged into the current Rádio Televisão de Cabo Verde e Empresas Públicas (RTC-EP),https://web.archive.org/web/20150713071340/https://www.ufjf.br/facom/files/2013/04/JaquelinePina.pdf founded by Minister of Social Communications José António dos Reis, and rebranded as RTC FM and RTC, respectively, under the RTC-EP network.https://web.archive.org/web/20100119074817/http://www.rtc.cv/tcv/index.php?paginas=10
The network was the first to broadcast elections, including federal, parliamentary, and presidential elections in 2001. It also covered the World Cup games, one of the few international games, and the FIBA World Championship games, a rare occurrence until the 2000s.
