Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (
RTF –
French Radio and Television Broadcasting) was the French national
public broadcasting organization established on 9 February 1949 to replace the post-war "
Radiodiffusion Française" (RDF), which had been founded on 23 March 1945 to replace
Radiodiffusion Nationale (RN), created on 29 July 1939. It was replaced in its turn, on 26 June 1964, by the notionally less-strictly government controlled
Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française (ORTF), which itself lasted until the end of 1974.
