Walta TV is operated by Walta Media and Communication Corporate S.C. and was launched in April 2017.[1] As of 2017, It is one of five channels in Ethiopia to be officially licensed by the Ethiopian Broadcasting Authority.[2] Before the launch of its own channel, Walta mostly provided its locally produced news and documentaries for the national broadcaster EBC TV (formerly ETV).
