The National Media Authority (NMA) is the state and public broadcaster of Egypt, operated by the Egyptian government. Headquartered in Cairo, the organization manages Egypt's public media sector following reforms that replaced the Egyptian Radio and Television Union (ERTU) established in 1954.
The NMA operates a large spectrum of radio, television and satellite channels, in addition to television and film production facilities. The NMA oversees a network of over 20 television channels, encompassing national, regional, and thematic offerings transmitted primarily through terrestrial signals for domestic audiences and satellite distribution via Nilesat. Key subsidiaries include the Egyptian Media Production City and Nile Sat (The Egyptian Satellite Company).
As of November 2024, Ahmed al‑Moslemany replaced Hussein Zein as head of the NMA, following a presidential decree reshaping Egypt's media governance landscape.
