RTV Meppel is the local broadcaster for the municipality Meppel/Nijeveen.

RTV Meppel was founded in 1983. In the preceding year there was a test with live television around christmas. In the first two years there were only a few radioshows on the weekend. And a television broadcast twice a year. Slowly the broadcast time was ramped up. From 1886 onward permission was obtained to broadcast over the air. After moving office a few times the broadcaster settled in a former piano workshop. From that moment on broadcasts were made 24/7. The internet was also welcomed as a broadcast medium. Over 100 volunteers are activily contributing to the broadcasters operations.
