'''Teleràdio Montecarà''' ('''TRM''') is a {{wp|State-owned enterprise|state-owned}} {{wp|Public broadcasting|public broadcaster}} in [[Montecara]]. It owns and operates television and radio broadcast channels, and distributes its media {{wp|Free-to-air|free to air}}, online, and via cable and satellite.

Programming is free of advertisements, supported instead by a surcharge on electric bills. The network has complete editorial independence from the state.

TRM has the exclusive local right to broadcast major events including the [[Invictus Games]], the [[IFF Coupe du monde]] and [[IFF Feminine Coupe du monde]], and the [[Euclovision Song Contest]].

== History ==
TRM's predecessor, Ràdio Montecarà, was founded on 23 July 1936 as Montecara's first public, [[Montecaran language|Montecaran]]-language radio service. It was initially funded by a license fee payable by anyone who owned a radio, a system that was changed to the current funding model only in 1986. A second radio channel, Ràdio Montecarà 2, was launched in 1964 to meet rapidly growing demand for {{wp|Pop music|pop music}}.

Montecara's first domestic television channel, Televixiò Montecarà (now branded as Tele1), launched in 1959. It was on the air for only a few hours a week during its early years but moved to a full-time schedule by the mid-1960s as 
television ownership became common. The network's first color broadcast was of the 1970 Summer [[Invictus Games]] in [[Tosei]], [[Senria]]. A second television channel, Tele2, was added in 1990 as part of the network's expansion to cable and satellite.
