Viewing Locations & Contact Details
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.
