state TV
Official media channel
State TV refers to television broadcasting controlled by a national government, typically serving as a mouthpiece for official positions rather than independent journalism.
The term usually carries negative connotations, implying propaganda or censorship: The regime's state TV broadcast footage of the forced confession.
Countries with free press use the term to contrast their media with authoritarian systems, though government-funded networks like the BBC occupy a gray zone.
