The internet was first introduced publicly in Morocco in 1995 but was initially slow to take off due to high costs and poor infrastructure. Satellite television soon became widespread among Moroccans and had reached a penetration rate of 70 per cent of households by 2007. The government subsequently acquired a majority share in the channel after it began to suffer financial difficulties. However, it soon faced competition with the introduction of satellite broadcasting.

In 1989, 2M TV became Morocco’s first private terrestrial channel and quickly gained popularity as an alternative to RTM programming. Radio broadcasts proved far more popular until the 1990s, with a 1973 study showing that 92.1 per cent of Morocco’s adult urban population and 75.2 per cent of the rural population regularly listened to the radio. During this era the cost of television proved prohibitive for many Moroccans and transmission was limited to roughly a third of the country. It remained the only channel in the country until 1989. In 1962, Radio-Television Marocaine (RTM), later renamed Société Nationale de Radiodiffusion et de Télévision (SNRT) was established, and the country’s first terrestrial television channel was created.

Morocco issued its first press code in 1958, formally regulating the media and requiring domestic newspapers to be registered and licensed by the government, while also establishing a national news agency, Maghreb Arab Press (MAP), in the same year. In 1954, shortly before Morocco’s independence, the French government established the first television in the MENA region. From the 1930s onwards, and particularly following World War II, the French government increasingly tolerated platforms for nationalist Moroccan radio broadcasters and newspaper publishers, as local and international sentiments grew increasingly hostile toward colonialism. Local radio broadcasting, administered by the French authorities, began in Morocco in 1924. In 1914, a decree gave precedence to the French-language press while also banning the import of other regional publications, in an attempt to instil French values and identity in Moroccan society. Over the next 50 years, this was followed by dozens of publications established by prominent social figures and printed in English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Hebrew, the latter catering to Morocco’s large Jewish community at the time. The first newspaper published in Morocco was the Spanish-language El Eco de Tétuàn in 1860. Prior to French colonial rule in Morocco (1912-1956), the country’s media environment was a cosmopolitan blend of its regional environment and proximity to Europe.
