Malay is central to television broadcasting in Malaysia, but several television channels also use English, Mandarin, Tamil, and East Malaysian languages such as Kadazan and Dusun. RTM operates a group of channels with different functions: TV1 and TV2 provide general and entertainment programming, Berita RTM focuses on news and current affairs, TV Okey serves East Malaysia with news, culture, and entertainment, and RTM Parlimen covers parliamentary proceedings. Astro Awani and Bernama TV add further news and current-affairs coverage.
The broadcasters represented here can therefore be understood not only by genre, but also by language and institutional function. Squid TV’s editorial profiles distinguish general television, news channels, regional programming, and parliamentary coverage while identifying where each broadcaster or channel is based and the audiences or areas it serves. This structure shows how Malaysia’s television media combine nationwide broadcasting with multilingual and region-specific programming.
