In March 1962, when the station started broadcasting, it operated to Casablanca and Rabat, which housed the former TELMA transmitters. Coverage was extended first to Oujda in January 1964, followed by Taza, to serve a blanket area between Oujda and Fez. The coverage in Casablanca was improved in October 1964, with the building of two 10-kilowatt relay stations near the city. Following the building of the relay station at Tangier in January 1965, the RTM network was connected to the Eurovision network, enabling Morocco to carry international events live. In the mid-1960s, RTM broadcast daily from 7:30pm to midnight, up to 9pm in French, from then to closedown in Arabic.
