Dhivehi is the main language of domestic television in the Maldives, while English also appears in parts of the country’s television media. SSTV and MMTV use Dhivehi for news, current affairs, culture, sports, entertainment, and locally focused programming, while Raajje TV uses both Dhivehi and English. Maldives TV, operated by Public Service Media (PSM), broadcasts in English and focuses on tourism, culture, lifestyle, and entertainment related to the Maldives.
The broadcasters represented here cover different aspects of Maldivian television rather than a single programming model. Squid TV’s editorial profiles distinguish channels by language, programming focus, background, and role, making it possible to compare news-oriented television with community-focused, cultural, and tourism-related programming. This provides a concise view of how television in the Maldives reflects both domestic public affairs and the country’s cultural and international-facing media presence.
