Television services first arrived in 1995. The current digital broadcasting network uses [[DVB-T2]] standards and retransmits international content from satellites.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-06-30 |url=http://www.cwi.sh/downloads/PubInfoTV.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100630165546/http://www.cwi.sh/downloads/PubInfoTV.pdf |archive-date=2010-06-30 |access-date=2018-07-16}}</ref> A local television channel was in operation from 2015 to 2017 by SAMS (South Atlantic Media Services, Ltd.), consisting of a weekly [[news bulletin]].<ref name="SHBC20120329">{{cite web |last=Henry |first=Sharon |date=29 March 2012 |title=15 Channel Digital TV for St Helena |url=http://www.shbc.sh/sentinel/Sentinel_120329.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130531013007/http://www.shbc.sh/sentinel/Sentinel_120329.pdf |archive-date=31 May 2013 |accessdate=6 August 2012 |work=news article |publisher=The St Helena Broadcasting (Guarantee) Corporation Ltd.}}</ref> 

Radio broadcasting began in 1967 with [[Radio Saint Helena]] (now defunct). Today, South Atlantic Media Services (SAMS), supported by the St Helena Government, broadcasts two FM stations: SAMS Radio 1, providing locally produced news, talk and music programming; SAMS also rebroadcasts the [[BBC World Service]].<ref name="sams.sh2">{{cite web |title=SAMS Home |url=http://www.sams.sh |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005130312/http://sams.sh/ |archive-date=5 October 2016 |access-date=6 August 2016 |website=sams.sh}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=BROADCAST STATIONS |url=http://sainthelenaisland.info/radio.htm |accessdate=18 March 2021}}</ref> [[Saint fm community radio|Saint FM Community Radio]] is the island's only independent broadcaster.<ref>{{cite web |title=Saint FM |url=https://www.saint.fm/ |accessdate=18 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Saint Helena Stations |url=https://tunein.com/radio/Stream-St-Helena-r100417/ |accessdate=18 March 2021}}</ref>
