Télévision Nationale d'Haïti (French pronunciation: [ʁadjo televizjɔ̃ nɑsjɔnal daiti]; TNH) is the state television broadcaster of Haiti. Founded December 23, 1979, under the Ministry of Information and Coordination, it was Haiti's second television station after Télé Haïti (Channels 2 and 4 with the latter in English).

In 1987, it was merged with the state-run Radio Nationale into a network called RTNH (Radio Télévision Nationale d'Haïti) and in 1995, was taken over by the Ministry of Culture.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Radio Télévision Nationale d'Haïti” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Radio, Télévision and Nationale provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3121942. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1979, 1987 and 1995.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
