Mass media in Nepal include radios, televisions, newspapers and the online services.

Radio

Historically, radio has been the most prevalent form of mass communication in Nepal. Government-owned Radio Nepal has been the sole domestic radio provider since 1951. By 1995 it was broadcasting short-wave, medium-wave, and FM frequencies. Private operators can lease the FM channel.

Television

Television started broadcasting in 1985. Broadcasters include government-owned Nepal Television (NT), which has two channels, and private broadcasters Nepal One, Shangri-La, and Space Time Network. All private broadcasters have experienced financial losses and content restrictions. Foreign programs can be accessed via satellite or cable. Statistics on viewership are not available, but less than 15 percent of the population appear to have access.
