RTVA records radio and television channels digitally directly from the programme stream and makes it available for the use of researchers and others who need it. Programmes can be studied at customer points nationwide. At viewing locations, users can easily access the recorded programmes and programme information through the Ritva database. All programme content is protected by copyright, so it may be viewed and listened to but it may not be copied.

The radio and television archive also holds materials on programmes broadcast before 2009, which can be accessed on request.
