TV Channel Overview
ATV (Algemene Televisie Verzorging) is a television service based in Paramaribo, Paramaribo District, Suriname, and operated by the state-owned telecommunications company Telesur.
ATV combines national and international news, current affairs, sports, entertainment, educational content, and locally produced programs. Its locally produced news and general programming are largely presented in Dutch, while English-language material is also included in the schedule. Reporting follows political, social, economic, health, and other developments in Suriname, while discussion and interview programs address public issues and perspectives from different parts of society. Sports are another substantial part of the schedule. Entertainment ranges from series and films to music and other general-interest programs, with both domestic productions and international material represented.
The resulting schedule gives ATV a broad general-interest profile within Suriname’s television landscape. Locally produced news and discussion maintain a strong connection with Surinamese affairs, while international news, sports, entertainment, and other imported content broaden the channel’s overall programming mix.
