Television in Syria

Television in Syria was introduced on 23 July 1960, with the establishment of Channel 1 when Syria and Egypt (which adopted television that same year) were part of the United Arab Republic. Syrian channels are mostly owned and controlled by the Syrian General Authority for Radio and Television (GART) which is connected to the Ministry of Information. It has 4,800 staff; both government employees and freelancers.

Television in Syria is mainly received through free satellite.
