History
It was first broadcast on 7 August 1963, established by the then President of the Republic Félix Houphouët-Boigny who wanted to make it an instrument of development.[1]
On 4 August 1966, two studios in Cocody, 100m2 and 400m2 respectively were built with quality equipment. In 1973 the station began broadcasting in color.
Following the launch of a second television channel, CH2 on 9 December 1983, RTI was renamed La Première.
