History
Ethiopian Television was initially established during Haile Selassie reign era in 1962 with assistance from the British firm, Thomson. Regular transmission began on 2 November 1964. It was created to highlight the Organization of African Unity (OAU) meeting that took place in Addis Ababa that same year. Color television started on an experimental basis in 1979, with regular colour transmissions beginning in 1984 in commemoration of the founding of Workers' Party of Ethiopia (WPE).[5] The current structure and goals of were established 1987 with Proclamation 114/87.[4] In 1995 ERTA(Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency) was created in as the result of the merge between the Ethiopian Radio and the ETV (Ethiopian Television).[6] With the aim of liberalizing the Ethiopian television market, the government upgraded ETV's status to be commercially viable. The station rearranged its schedule from 6pm to 10pm in two local languages, two of which allotted to Amharic programming. Viewers were concerned that the channel's new schedule concentrated heavily on news - especially regarding its war with Eritrea - and little entertainment.[7] In 2014, the channel changed its name from ETV to EBC, also changing its logo in the process. In 2015, EBC and other regional channels upgraded their news studios with more modern equipment. In March 2018, EBC's logo was transferred to etv and made a new transmission of frequency and sister's channel contents and it is now broadcasting on Ethiosat and Nilesat.
During the 2022 FIFA World Cup, FIFA accused EBC of pirating a large number of matches and threatened to permanently withdraw its broadcasting rights. EBC claimed that it was granted the broadcasting rights for all matches, while FIFA claimed it gave a warning before.[8]
